Abstract Corporate social responsibility is a philanthropic activity that works for the development of underprivileged people in society. The study examined the factors that are considered as influential stimuli of CSR expenditures. Prais Winsten regression model is applied to a sample of 32 commercial banks from the year of 2011 to 2015 with 160 observations.

The purpose of this study is to explore the corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives undertaken by Dabur India Limited, the biggest Ayurvedic company in the world, at areas close to its manufacturing plant. It also explores the perception of Dabur’s stakeholders with respect to its social responsibility behaviour. For the purpose of this study, both primary as well as secondary data have been used. The primary data have been collected by conducting unstructured interviews and a field visit within the premises of the company’s manufacturing plant in Baddi district as well as in the surrounding villages. The secondary data have been collected from annual reports of the company and the company website. On investigating, it was be observed that Dabur, through years of social involvement and local community partnership projects, has established a special bond of trust with all its stakeholders. Also, as the expenditure made by Dabur on its CSR activities has always exceeded the stipulated amount as per government recommendations, this evidently supports its dedication towards its vision statement, on creating value for society. As after a revision in CSR policies there have not been many research studies examining the CSR practices by companies in India, this study, therefore, addresses this knowledge gap and provides new insights on the compliance by Dabur with regard to new CSR guidelines by the Companies Act, 2013.

Drawing upon human capital theory and attachment theory, this study develops a research model that examines how on-the-job training (OJT) effectiveness and work engagement play key mediating roles in the development of job performance. In the proposed model, job performance is indirectly influenced by cultural learning, professional learning, and mentorship learning via the full mediation of OJT effectiveness. At the same time, job performance is also influenced by social interaction, leader support, and self-efficacy via the full mediation of work engagement. Employees’ sense of responsibility and leader support both play moderating roles in the research model. The hypotheses were empirically tested using both primary data from a survey on new employees of a leading financial holding company in Taiwan’s banking industry and secondary data from the company’s database of human resource management (HRM) regarding the training and education of the new employees.
