An Empirical Investigation Into The Effects of CSR on Employee Loyalty
Abstract
This empirical study examines how employee loyalty is affected by Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, providing insight into how moral business practices affect employees' dedication and retention. CSR efforts, which include projects like community involvement, environmental sustainability, and moral labour practices, are becoming more widely acknowledged as both a moral requirement and a tactical instrument for boosting employee loyalty. Using quantitative data gathered from various industries and geographical areas, this study explores the connection between CSR and employee loyalty. According to the research, workers who believe their companies are socially conscious are more likely to show greater levels of loyalty, which lowers turnover and improves overall performance. The analysis goes on to show that employee perceptions are significantly influenced by the type and level of visibility of CSR activities. When workers feel that their company is truly committed to corporate social responsibility, they are more likely to feel appreciated and motivated, which strengthens their emotional bonds and increases their desire to stay with the company. Nonetheless, the research also highlights certain constraints, including possible partialities in self-reported information and the requirement for additional investigation in various settings and periods. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the study emphasizes how crucial it is to incorporate CSR into fundamental business plans in order to develop a devoted and enthusiastic workforce. This provides insightful information for companies looking to use CSR as a long-term competitive advantage.
