The Impact of Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility (SCSR) on Employees’ Perceived Job Security and Resilience in SMEs: The Moderating Role of Humble Leadership

Abstract

Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility (SCSR) constitutes a basic approach that incorporates holistically Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) within a firm’s core operations and allows high performance in combination to social value for long term. Although CSR’s strategic role is well acknowledged, there seems to be very limited understanding on the effects of SCSR on employees’ attitudes. To fill this gap, the present paper tries to figure out the relationship between SCSR and employees’ perceived work security and resilience. It also elaborates the moderating role of humble leadership on the above-mentioned relationship and proposes a new research model that needs further exploration and research. In this way, organizations could realize the impact of SCSR implementation and appropriate leadership on employee’ attitudes, and adopt relative practices in the core processes of their business.
