The rationale behind the establishment of Islamic organisations globally is based on the precept that Islamic organisations’ practices are conducted in accordance with the strict values and principles of Syariah. In line with this premise, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policies and practices of Islamic organisations should be underpinned by Islamic laws and principles as revealed in the Qur’an and the Sunnah. Drawing on the doctrine of Maqasid alSyariah and the concept of Maslahah, this study proposes an Islamic CSR (i-CSR) conceptual framework that will align the CSR policies and practices of Islamic organisations with the principles and values of Islam. The two conceptions are integrated with the CSR dimensions resulting in the prioritization of CSR practices based on Syariah principles. This study provides a structured approach to CSR policies and practices for Islamic organisations to ensure full compliance with Islamic principles.  Such a conceptual framework would be of interest to Islamic organisations worldwide and regulatory authorities in countries that are hosts to Islamic organisations to improve CSR policies, practices and disclosure on the part of Islamic organisations.

The review of the CSR literature in this paper revealed certain gaps in available knowledge. Thus, there is uncertainty regarding the actual spread of CSR activities; disagreement on the value of business case for CSR; and controversy over what drives firms to voluntarily adopt a CSR practice. This situation calls on researchers to investigate the actual policies and practices used by managers when addressing their companies’ social and environmental responsibilities. This section seeks to develop a theoretical framework that will enable this study to empirically scrutinize theory and produce findings that advance existing knowledge on the topic.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to reveal the unintended effects of talent management (TM) practices on employees excluded from high potential (HiPo) programs. Excluding the majority of employees from the numerous developmental benefits and privileges of HiPo programs runs contrary to the ideals of corporate social responsibility (CSR), an increasingly common espoused value of organizations. This paper discusses the inadvertent hypocrisy of organizations seeking to demonstrate CSR actions for their employees while simultaneously barring the vast majority of employees access to targeted development opportunities. While many organizations are proud of developing exemplary TM systems and executing effective CSR initiatives, further analysis suggests an inherent incompatibility between these approaches as commonly practiced. This paper concludes with a discussion of possible solutions to ameliorate the disconnect between exclusionary TM practices and CSR outcomes. Design/methodology/approach – Through the theoretical lens of organizational justice, the paper critically reviews relevant research on the impact of TM policies and practices on CSR initiatives. To spur further interest from scholars and practitioners, the paper offers responses to the following questions: What is the usual array of TM practices? What is the organization's social responsibility to its workforce at large and to individual employees? With resources devoted to developing HiPo talent, what is the organization's social responsibility to those in the ranks who have not been identified as HiPo? Findings – The critical review revealed that organizations seeking to simultaneously pursue TM best practices and CSR initiatives must tackle several fundamental issues, including expanding employee access to HiPo programs, enhancing the HiPo selection processes via greater emphasis on lead indicators of HiPo, and improving rater reliability across assessment tools. The paper concludes with practical suggestions to ameliorate the unintended consequences of disparate treatment of employees by creating a permeable boundary for broader employee inclusion in HiPo programs. Originality/value – The literature is remarkably deficient in research addressing the effects of TM practices on employees who are excluded from leadership development opportunities, and the resulting implications for CSR outcomes. Given the rapidly growing importance of CSR initiatives for many organizations, research on the impact of TM policies and practices is sorely needed. This paper addresses an important gap in the research literature on the unintended consequences of disparate treatment of employees and offers practical suggestions for more inclusive leadership development systems.
