Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives in Indian Corporate Sector: An Empirical Investigation from Employees Perspective

This study investigates the perception of employees regarding the indulgence of their company in CSR initiatives. It also attempted to highlight the corporate social responsibility initiatives adopted and various thematic areas of CSR like education, health, environment protection, rural development, and community development, etc. This study is based on the stakeholder theory of corporate social responsibility where CSR is meant to provide benefits to various stakeholders like employees, customers, suppliers, neighbouring communities, government, society, nation, and the whole planet. So, to address the gap, the current research article studied CSR from an employee’s point of view and investigated whether employees differ in perception regarding various CSR initiatives adopted by their company. The findings suggest that employee’s perception is not significantly different regarding CSR initiatives and thematic areas. Each employee responded positively regarding their company’s involvement in social and environmental projects.
