Abstract

Research on how corporate social responsibility (CSR) impacts employees at the micro level has increased rapidly in recent years. Drawing on social information processing theory, we employed a moderated serial mediation model to explore the mechanisms through which perceived CSR affects employee work engagement. We also examined how perceived CSR instrumentality moderates the relationship. Our study has utilized a two-wave survey (N = 354) and a scenario experiment (N = 230). The results support both mediation and moderation effects. Perceived CSR positively affects employee work engagement, and the relationship is sequentially mediated by CSR authenticity perception and authentic living. Moreover, perceived CSR instrumentality moderates the serial mediating effect such that the indirect relationship between perceived CSR and work engagement is stronger when employees perceive the CSR instrumentality as low (vs. high). Our findings deepen understanding of the mechanism underlying the CSR work engagement relationship and offer practical implications for organizations conducting CSR initiatives.

企业社会责任与工作投入：一个有调节的序列中介模型

近年来，关于企业社会责任如何在微观层面影响员工的研究迅速增加。基于社会信息加工理论，本研究采用有调节的序列中介模型，探讨企业社会责任感知对员工工作投入的影响机制。我们还研究了感知CSR工具性如何调节这种关系。我们的研究采用了两波调查（N = 354）和情景实验（N = 230）。结果支持中介效应和调节效应。企业社会责任感知正向影响员工工作投入，企业社会责任真实性感知和真实生活依次中介了这一关系。此外，感知到的企业社会责任工具性调节了一系列中介效应，当员工感知到的企业社会责任工具性较低（相对于高）时，感知到的企业社会责任与工作投入之间的间接关系更强。我们的研究结果加深了对企业社会责任工作参与关系的机制的理解，并为实施企业社会责任倡议的组织提供了实际意义。
