Brand identity management and corporate social responsibility have increased importance in both managerial practice and academic research. However, only a small number of studies have examined how these strategic tools influence employees’ attitudes and behaviours. The aim of this paper is, therefore, to analyse how employees’ perceptions of brand identity management and corporate social responsibility affect their attitudes and behaviours. An empirical study was undertaken among a sample of 297 front line employees working in the UK banking sector. Hypotheses were tested using partial least square regression. The results show that employees’ perceptions of brand identity management and corporate social responsibility determine their commitment towards their organisations, both directly and indirectly through perceived external prestige. Organisational commitment explains employees’ brand performance and brand citizenship behaviour. Age differences indicate higher impact of brand identity management on older employees, and higher effects of perceived corporate social responsibility in younger employees. The results extend existing knowledge and are informative for bank managers.

To achieve this objective, the factors were extracted from the literature and described along with trusteeship theory of Mahatma Gandhi, and an exploratory study was conducted and data were collected using structured questionnaire based on pretested scale from 158 SMEs and tested using partial least square regression (PLSR). The statistics shows the overall model fit, and the findings indicate a significant relationship with effective CSR. The results of the study are in accordance with the previous research work, and we also find that environment-related CSR and partnership are crucial for the effectiveness of CSR in SMEs, stakeholders’ role are important and SMEs’ CSR practice is still informal. The variables identified from study will help SMEs in establishing a formal approach towards CSR and meeting the needs of business and society in the twenty-first century.

Economic dimension of corporate social responsibility (CSR) represent the main aim of establishing all forms of business organizations. The outcome from all transactions translate into the process of attaining continuity, growth, satisfactory returns, maximization of shareholders wealth and provision of goods and services to the community. Achievement of all these goals depends on how managers are able to perfect the profit motive objective and satisfy the needs of all stakeholders. A total of 164 respondents who are the managers responsible for decision making on all corporate social responsibility activities were engaged in answering the questionnaire for this study. The managers were representing different sub sectors of the Nigerian financial sector. A statistical analysis on the data was done by using the partial least square approach (PLS-SEM). Results from the analysis revealed that both profit motive and stakeholder needs are positively related with the economic dimension of CSR. Religiosity of managers is also positively related with ability of managers to attain economic responsibilities they were employed to achieve. With the role of religiosity as a significant moderating factor managers are expected to align CSR activities with accepted religious values that instills hard work, trust and assistance to stakeholders to fulfill the overall economic dimension of corporate social responsibility.

This study consolidates internal and external viewpoints to look at the heralds of corporate social irresponsible behavior. As far as internal elements are concerned, we concentrate on the degree to which a firm joins corporate social responsibility (CSR) into its corporate strategy and the level to which companies commit resources into R&D for consumer oriented product development. As for external determinants, we concentrate on market sector costs forces and government agencies responsible for local governance on corrupt practices. The hypothesis we developed for the study are tested, utilizing unique survey data of 120 companies spanning a period of five years. The outcome demonstrates that consolidating corporate social responsibility into business strategy and putting resources into R&D both foresee less socially irresponsible behaviors by companies. Conversely, pressures from costs and corrupt practices within governmental setting associates directly with incremental probability of irresponsible social and behaviors of companies in Ghana.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to better understand the brand identity management process from the employees’ perspective. Specifically, it explores how the different dimensions of brand identity management influence employees’ attitudinal and behavioural responses. Design/methodology/approach An empirical study was carried out to test the proposed model. The sample consisted of 297 employees in the UK financial services sector. Hypothesis testing was conducted using partial least square regression. Findings Results indicate that effective brand identity management can increase employees’ identification with their organisations. Specifically, the most influential dimension is the employee-client focus. Results also show that organisational identification is a key variable to explain job satisfaction, word-of-mouth and brand citizenship behaviour. Research limitations/implications This study focusses on the UK financial sector. To explore the generalisability of results, replication studies among other sectors and countries would be useful. The cross-sectional nature of the study also limits its causal inference. Practical implications This study shows the importance of brand identity management to foster positive employee attitudes and actions that go beyond their job responsibilities. The model developed may help organisations analyse the impact of managerial actions, monitoring the potential effects of changes in brand identity management amongst employees. Originality/value Although numerous conceptual frameworks highlight the importance of brand identity management, empirical studies in this area are scarce. The current work extends previous research by empirically analysing the effects of the dimensions of brand identity management from the employees’ perspective.
