When companies say one thing and do another in a corporate social responsibility context, they run the risk of corporate hypocrisy. Apart from the negative attitudes within customers, the purpose of our study was to explore what consequence corporate hypocrisy would cause on employees. This study investigated the possible link between corporate hypocrisy and employees’ counterproductive work behaviors with a moderated mediation model. Based on social identity theory, our research found that the influence of corporate hypocrisy on organization-directed counterproductive work behaviors was partially mediated by organizational identification, while the first stage of mediation is moderated by the levels of employees’ perceived importance of corporate social responsibility. Data from 259 employees in China, collected across three time periods, suggest that corporate hypocrisy will lead to a decrease of organizational identification, triggering CWB against the company. The indirect effect of corporate hypocrisy on CWB-O via organizational identification is enhanced when employees’ perceived importance of corporate social responsibility is high. Our findings provide contributions to both corporate running and theoretical research.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has mainly been studied at a macro level through its impact on the financial performance of the company. However, individuals’ perceptions of CSR influence various attitudes and behaviors at work, including employees’ affective commitment. Whereas the relationship between perceptions of CSR and employees’ affective commitment has already been shown in the literature, less is known about its underlying mechanisms. This research seeks to specifically explain this relationship in order to understand how perceptions of CSR influence individuals’ affective commitment at work. We present two studies (Study 1, N = 181; Study 2, N = 145) to test a theoretical model that introduces person-organization fit (PO fit) as a mediator of this relationship and the need to belong as a moderator of the relationship between CSR and PO fit. The results of the moderated mediation model (using PLS-SEM) are developed and a discussion is provided.

Although there has been extensive research on the corporate social responsibility (CSR)–performance link, full understanding is still elusive. A possible reason for this is the limited understanding of the underlying processes that affect the relationship. Grounded in institutional theory, which emphasizes the importance of micro-level intermediating processes (e.g., employees’ perceptions and attitudes) to explain a macro-level association (i.e., CSR to organizational performance), we built a moderated mediation model where: (i) organization commitment mediated the influence of CSR on organizational performance, and (ii) an employee’s prosocial motivation moderated the relationship between CSR and organizational commitment. Using three-wave time-lagged survey data obtained from 302 Korean workers, we found that organizational commitment is an important micro-level process in the CSR–performance link, and that the level of an employee’s prosocial motivation can positively moderate that link. We discuss theoretical and practical implications, along with limitations and future research directions.
