Abstract

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is no longer a legal obligation but discretionary aimed at fulfilling the needs of stakeholders. The failed leadership in Africa has made discretionary CSR initiatives very important in the life of employees and local community. The chapter reports a micro-level study that considered the effect of CSR initiatives directed to employees and local communities on employee organizational identification (OID) and employee creativity (ECR). The results obtained show that CSR directed to employees has both direct and indirect relationships with ECR through OID, while CSR directed at local community has only indirect relationship with ECR through OID. The results position CSR initiatives as strategic to the performance of business instead of just being philanthropic. This means that managers must take special interest in developing and implementing CSR initiatives since their outcome has an effect on employee behavior. The study also demonstrates the need to factor the importance of each CSR initiatives directed at various stakeholders in future study.
企业社会责任(CSR)
企业社会责任(CSR)不再是一项法律义务,而是旨在满足利益相关者需求的自由裁量权。非洲失败的领导使企业社会责任倡议在员工和当地社区的生活中变得非常重要。本章报告了一项微观层面的研究,该研究考虑了针对员工和当地社区的企业社会责任举措对员工组织认同(OID)和员工创造力(ECR)的影响。结果表明,针对员工的企业社会责任通过OID与ECR既有直接关系,也有间接关系,而针对当地社区的企业社会责任通过OID与ECR只有间接关系。结果表明,企业社会责任倡议是企业绩效的战略,而不仅仅是慈善。这意味着管理者必须对企业社会责任计划的发展和实施特别感兴趣,因为他们的结果会影响员工的行为。该研究还表明,在未来的研究中,需要考虑针对不同利益相关者的每个企业社会责任举措的重要性。
