CSR beyond symbolism: The importance of substantive attributions for employee CSR engagement

Original language description

Despite acknowledging employees&apos; significance in implementing CSR strategies, a common deficiency lies in comprehending the fundamental incentives driving their participation in CSR initiatives. Drawing from cognitive consistency theory, this research strives to construct a moderated mediation framework elucidating the mechanisms and circumstances through which employees&apos; perceptions of CSR as either substantial or symbolic can shape their involvement in CSR endeavors. To empirically validate the study framework, the research collects primary data, gathered through two time -lagged surveys from 820 employees to assess employee -level variables. This data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in AMOS. The study&apos;s intriguing findings revealed that how CSR is perceived plays a pivotal role: when seen as substantive, it remarkably enhances CSR engagement, whereas a symbolic interpretation has an adverse effect and even triggers employee cynicism which further entailing a counterproductive connection with CSR engagement. More interesting findings came to light - CSR attribution, when combined with employees&apos; communal values, remarkably predicts CSR engagement, either substantive or symbolic. Our study has important implications for organizations seeking to enhance their CSR engagement efforts.
