Significant research has concluded that corporations have a social responsibility to stakeholders beyond maximizing shareholders’ wealth. The current study examines the relationship between corporate ethical values and the perception of the importance of corporate social responsibility. A total of 583 CPAs in public accounting, industry and academia completed a survey designed to measure the importance of corporate social responsibility on profitability, long-term success and short-term success before Enron and Worldcom declared bankruptcy. The results indicated that CPAs employed in organizations with high (low) ethical values perceived corporate social responsibility to be more (less) important in profitability and long-term success and less (more) important in short-term success of the firm.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the concept of corporate social responsibility and the most important characteristics of banking – the efficiency and stability in a sample of twelve Ukrainian banks, which are the biggest banks in Ukraine according to the classification of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU). Our research covers the period from 2006 to 2012. Based on the literature review we construct two main hypothesis related to the impact on the corporate social responsibility concept (CSR) of the following independent variables: 1 – efficiency (as a short term period characteristics of banking), 2 – stability (as a long term characteristics of banking).

In recent years, attention has been increasingly paid to social-, environmental-, and ecology-related issues in the areas of diverse business operations. The concept of sustainable development of enterprises is an attempt to integrate a diverse set of requirements for the development of companies in the long-term future. The concept, which is set in a contradictory context of economic, social, and environmental aspects, is an attempt to balance fundamentally divergent requirements and aspirations. Sustainable enterprise development can be a source of competitiveness, provided the opportunities related to it are identified and implemented in a proper way. The research objective of this study is to diagnose the relationship between the company’s orientation towards the implementation of sustainability assumptions, the degree of implementation of the objectives of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy, as well as the creation of value in a sustainable enterprise. The survey was conducted on a sample of 165 FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) sector enterprises. The results indicate the existence of a positive correlation between the variables analysed in the surveyed enterprises. Entrepreneurs guided by sustainable development pursue economic and non-economic values and have a more comprehensive set of appropriate measures necessary to create value in a sustainable enterprise, which consists of achieving economic, ecological, and social goals.

Firm innovation creates an informational asymmetry between the firm and outside stakeholders. Since CSR activities have been shown to reduce asymmetries and risk we surmise that firms use discretionary CSR activities to reduce the asymmetries from innovation. We study an innovation intense industry (technology) and find results that support the hypothesis that firms use CSR to signal long term viability of innovative activities.

This study examines the short- and long-run effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities on the credit risk implied in credit derivative prices. Measuring the different term effects on credit risk by the slope of credit default swap (CDS) spreads with different maturities, we investigate how CSR activities affect credit risk differently in the short and long run. Fama-MacBeth regressions reveal that firms with higher CSR scores tend to have more gently decreasing CDS slopes because, on average, CSR activities reduce credit risk in the long run more than in the short run. An analysis of individual CSR categories shows that while community, diversity and employee relations lead to a lower CDS slope, human rights and product characteristics increase the CDS slope. This finding suggests that not all CSR activities affect short-term and long-term credit risks in the same direction. Therefore, even though CSR activities can reduce credit risk in the long-run, some CSR activities may increase the short-term credit risk and hence increase short-term borrowing costs.

This study explores the extent to which employee turnover, a proxy variable to employee loyalty, helps mediate the relationship between Taiwanese firms’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance and financial outcome. The results show that a firm’s CSR performance is negatively correlated with employee turnover and turnover variability, and moreover, employee turnover is negatively correlated with a firm’s financial performance. The result is especially noteworthy for studies regarding Taiwanese companies since quite a few of them are original equipment manufacturers (hereafter also referred to as OEMs), of intermediate goods. For the sample firms, although the contribution of social responsibility appears to have insignificantly direct benefit on financial performance, we document that the extent to which CSR conducts influence on long-term financial outcomes may be moderated and mediated by employee enthusiasm.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of corporate ethical values on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and work-related outcomes (organizational commitment (OC), organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and in-role job performance) in the case of a Greek port logistics management services organization. Design/methodology/approach The field research was carried out by using a structured questionnaire, which was based on empirically validated scales. Employees’ perception of CSR was measured by two dimensions (i.e. social, environmental). Findings Statistical analysis (PLS-SEM) confirms the conceptual framework of the study. More specifically, results revealed the association of both CSR dimensions with CEV and OCB. However, CEV proved to act as a full mediating variable between CSR and OC. Thus, CSR impact on OC is realized only through the development of concrete corporate ethical values. Similarly, CEV influences in role job performance, only through OC and OCB. Research limitations/implications This study is cross-sectional; thus, causality of the relationships under investigation cannot be justified. The cultural context should also be considered, as field research was conducted in a Greek port logistics organization, at a country suffering from deep financial recession. Originality/value Discussion of the importance of corporate ethical values and the underlying mechanisms of organizational policies and practices guiding CSR impact on crucial job-related outcomes.

The research into Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been prolific in the last years, although few studies have focused their attention on studying its relationship with economic performance within the hotel industry, even less incorporating marketing variables as a result. This work aims to determine the relationship between the implementation of CSR policies and their influence on the Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) in Spanish hotels, through marketing variables. A quantitative methodology was conducted using an online survey, gathering a sample of 230 hotel managers from Spain. The results of the structural model analyzed reveal that CSR has a discreet but significant role for understanding how marketing variables and RevPAR operate. CSR has a direct impact on RevPAR, but it also influences it indirectly through marketing variables. Therefore, CSR arises as a fundamental strategy to improve the results of the hotel sector in the long term.
