Mediating Role of Job Satisfaction on Internal Corporate Social Responsibility Practices and Employee Engagement in Higher Education Sector

Abstract

The study aims to investigate the relationship between internal corporate social responsibility (ICSR) practices and employee engagement through job satisfaction as a mediating variable. The ICSR dimensions are comprised of employee empowerment, education and training, employment stability, as well as a working environment. This study is based on the social exchange theory to explore the relationship between the above factors and ICSR. In this study, purposive sampling was adopted. A quantitative (survey) method was employed, generating 93 valid responses. The data was then analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling through Smart-PLS 3.0. The results revealed that ICSR practices, namely employee empowerment, and employment stability contributed positively to job satisfaction. However, training & education and working environment were found not significant to job satisfaction. In addition, job satisfaction has a positive influence on employee engagement. The results of the study found that except for training, education, and the work environment, job satisfaction mediates the relationship between ICSR practices and employee engagement. Conclusion, implications of the findings, and suggestions for future study are also discussed.

“…Before testing the model, we first tested whether there was bias in the data collection. Whether there is bias in data collection, the common method variance (CMV) test (Hossen, Chan, & Hasan, 2020). In this study, the CMV test used the correlation matrix procedure (Tehseen, Ramayah, & Sajilan, 2017).…”

Consistency or Hypocrisy? The Impact of Internal Corporate Social Responsibility on Employee Behavior: A Moderated Mediation Model

“…ExCSR involves stakeholders outside the organization and has been extensively studied in the literature, but there are few studies from the internal aspect perspective on an employee's perception of benefit related to CSR activities [50]. The trend of InCSR research is increasing in the field of organization [51], and studies involving InCSR are important due to the fact that it often helps attract and retain employees [52]. Previous studies confirmed that CSR policies play a role in motivating employees [53]; however, we focus on the aspect of InCSR for the purpose of our research.…”
