The relationship between corporate social responsibility and employees´ attitudes and behaviours in Nigeria
| Resumo: | The relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and employees’ attitudes and behaviours has been an important issue globally. The objective of this study is to ascertain the relationship between CSR and employees’ attitudes and behaviours in Nigeria. The subject of CSR has drawn the attention of many scholars and practitioners in this field. However, few studies have been carried on how CSR affects employees’ attitudes and behaviour in Nigeria and understanding employees’ perspectives on CSR. This study aims to better understand the relationship between CSR activities and employees’ reactions in Nigeria through a quantitative survey on both male and female employees in Nigeria. This study used several theories as a framework to explain how CSR activities stimulate employee perceptions which in turn trigger workplace attitudes and behaviour. At the end of this study, two hypotheses tested were ascertained thus, the correlation of employee perception of CSR activities (overall variable) with employee engagement (which returned positive) and turnover intent (which returned negative). The hypotheses were predicated on the social exchange theory. Additionally, the overall variable is broken down into six specific variables in order to determine their respective relationships with work engagement and turnover intent. These variables are community-oriented CSR, environment-oriented CSR, employee-oriented CSR, supplier-oriented CSR and customer-oriented CSR and shareholder-oriented CSR. |
