Book Description
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has gained increasing attention and popularity since the last decade. There are many CSR debates arise since then. These debates were shaped by trends and fundamental changes of the political, social, and economic spheres of life. Tracing back, the precursor to CSR was topic of charitable giving, which had been in existence since 1980s. Todate, CSR has evolved to a business concept that had been accepted widely. Business corporations are focusing on CSR due to tremendous pressures from society. Presently, CSR approach has emerged from focusing on the shareholders to stakeholders due to the acknowledgement of the crucial roles of stakeholders in every organisation.Stakeholder management and CSR is a relational affair. Stakeholder theory involves a list of critical stakeholders namely employees, suppliers, customers, media, local communities, NGOs, that could be a source of new competitive advantage. This presents a research agenda to look into internal CSR practices as to how it manifests among the crucial stakeholders of every organisation, i.e. the employees, on their attitudes and behaviours. As Small Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) are gaining its foothold in Malaysia, they also encountered many challenges, one of these is the issue of high employee turnover that lead to substantial costs to the organisations. The findings reveal that internal CSR practices enhanced employee's job satisfaction and also resulted in the reduction of employee's turnover intention. It was interesting to discover that internal CSR practices enhance employee's organisational commitment like job satisfaction, but it failed to reduce employee's turnover intention through enhanced organisation commitment as a result of internal CSR practices. The results also show that perceived ease of movement has an impact on employee's turnover intention.

Book Description
[Enter Abstract BoThe research paper uses Consistent Partial Least Square (PLSc) which emerges as a more robust statistical approach recently, in assessing the influence of Internal Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) among Small Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) employees. A total of 383 responses were collected from SMEs employees located in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. The results for Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR = 0.040) was lower than 0.08 and the Normed Fit Index (NFI = 0.929) was higher than 0.90. Thus, it was deemed that the data fits the model well. The results indicate that Internal CSR could enhance employees' affective commitment, increase job satisfaction and thereby reduce turnover intention with R2 recorded at 0.439, 0.410 and 0.275 respectively. Job satisfaction was found to be mediating the relationship between Internal CSR and turnover intention. The findings offer insights to SMEs in the manifestation of Internal CSR among employees' attitude and behaviour; as well as showcase the predictive utility of PLSc.

Book Description
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has gained its attention and popularity since the last decade. CSR initiated as a topic of charitable giving in the 1980s Thereon, many CSR debates arise which were shaped by trends and fundamental changes of the political, social, and economic spheres of life. Today, CSR has evolved into a business concept that had been accepted widely. Its development has shifted the approach from focusing on the shareholders to stakeholders due to the acknowledgement of the crucial roles of stakeholders in every organisation. In this regards, the present study aims to examine the relationship between internal CSR practices and employees' turnover intention. This study hypothesized that there are possible mediating and moderating effects of organisational commitment and perceived ease of movement in this relationship. This study took place in the Small Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) as SMEs are regarded as the backbone of Malaysia economy. The results revealed that internal CSR practices has a significant negative effect on turnover intention. Internal CSR practices also found to have a significant positive effect on Organisational commitment. A significant negative relationship was found between Organisational commitment and turnover intention. Organisational commitment mediates the relationship between internal CSR practices and turnover intention. However, the moderating effect of perceived ease of movement is insignificant. The results obtained will provide some pointers to the SMEs owners/ managers to capitalize internal CSR practices to retain their valuable workforce.

Book Description
Researchers, corporate leaders, and other stakeholders have shown increasing interest in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)—a company’s discretionary actions and policies that appear to advance societal well-being beyond its immediate financial interests and legal requirements. Spanning decades of research activity, the scholarly literature on CSR has been dominated by meso- and macro-level perspectives, such as studies within corporate strategy that examine relationships between firm-level indicators of social/environmental performance and corporate financial performance. In recent years, however, there has been an explosion of micro-oriented CSR research conducted at the individual-level of analysis, especially with respect to studies on how and why job seekers and employees perceive and react to CSR practices. This micro-level focus is reflected in 12 articles published in this edited volume as a research topic collection in Frontiers in Psychology (Organizational Psychology Specialty Section) titled “Corporate social responsibility and organizational psychology: Quid pro quo.”

Book Description
Diploma Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,0, University of Linz (Institut für Internationales Management), language: English, abstract: Today, ethics gain more and more importance in our economy and the often-heard statement “Global capitalism, local values” underlines the trend to make money with the help of local values. From that aspect, capitalism does not seem to appear that ignoring and barbarous but shows us that in deed that human values and ethical standards are anchored in the acting of huge, successful multinational concerns. The role of values in that case is crucial as they affect our everyday life. Everything we do and the way we think is guided by values which we got communicated from our families, people that seem to be important for us or from institutions that accompanied us for a period of our life. Values and behaviour are some kind of indicators that form generations and decades.When talking about values and ethics, the upcoming importance of corporate socially responsible behaviour in form of CSR projects can not be disregarded. It is definitively the buzzword of the early 21st business century. Nearly every huge company has to face corporate social responsibility activities in order to behave in a way its customers and society in general want them to. So the role of external pressure should not be underestimated. A good example is McDonald’s. The 40 billion US-dollar concern continuously implements CSR programs but does not behave in a socially responsible way when talking about the firm’s employees and working conditions. Work at Mc Donald’s is low-skilled, hard and most of the time unrelenting, as one of the company mottos suggests: “... if there is time to lean there is time to clean” (Royle, 2005, p.45). Bad working conditions like underpayment and endless night shifts make Mc Donald’s to appear in another light in the minds of its employees and customers, after the motto “We sold them a dream and paid them as little as possible”. If participating companies mean these activities really serious is often doubtful. Also the question if these activities really fit to the corporate culture of the organization stays unanswered. So organizations implement projects like that in order to be legitimated by society, but when we take a look behind the organization’s curtain, it can be recognized that the CSR activity is only a facade of legitimating.

Book Description
Does it pay for businesses to act morally? This book attempts to answer this question with regard to different aspects and levels. It takes a positive position to this question and demonstrates that, under certain conditions, organizations can act responsibly and profitably at the same time. It elaborates on these conditions and provides evidence for the assumed positive relation between responsibility and profitability. The author uses analysis of the acceptance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies across Europe, the consequences of CSR on motivation, commitment and absenteeism; and organizational responsibility and the bottom of the pyramid to provide evidence for the assumed positive relationship between responsibility and profitability. Uniquely taking an organizational perspective on CSR, scholars and students of business ethics will find this impressive book to be a invaluable resource. Business professional will also find plenty of important information in this admirable compendium.
