Abstract

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability are considered hot trends in today's modern trade systems. However, there seems to be scarcity in the current literature of empirical studies linking CSR and sustainability applications in manufacturing organisations. This research aims to investigate the interrelationships between sustainability factors (commitment and motivators) and CSR factors (commitment and motivators) and how they affect each other. A survey instrument was developed through which data is collected from 47 food manufacturing organisations functioning in Palestine. The collected data is analysed using the partial least square structural equation modelling technique. The findings of this study suggest that there are strong linkages between CSR factors (commitment and motivators) and sustainability factors (commitment and motivators). The CSR commitment factors have the strongest relationship with corporate social responsibility motivators and sustainability motivators, which indicate that corporate commitment to CSR positively influences the level of corporate sustainable performance.

制造业企业社会责任与可持续发展相互关系的实证研究

企业社会责任(CSR)和可持续发展被认为是当今现代贸易体系的热门趋势。然而，在目前的文献中，似乎缺乏将企业社会责任和可持续性应用在制造组织中的实证研究。本研究旨在探讨可持续发展因素(承诺和激励因素)与企业社会责任因素(承诺和激励因素)之间的相互关系，以及它们如何相互影响。制定了一项调查工具，通过该工具收集了在巴勒斯坦运作的47个食品制造组织的数据。利用偏最小二乘结构方程建模技术对收集到的数据进行分析。本研究的结果表明，企业社会责任因素(承诺和激励因素)与可持续性因素(承诺和激励因素)之间存在很强的联系。企业社会责任承诺因素与企业社会责任激励因素和可持续发展激励因素的关系最强，表明企业社会责任承诺正向影响企业可持续绩效水平。
