Implications of the corporate social responsibility reputation for organizational commitment: The mediating role of job satisfaction

Abstract

The aim of the study is to analyze the influence of the reputation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on organizational commitment, mediated by job satisfaction. The sample resulting from the survey includes directors and managers of business units from one of the largest cooperative credit systems in Brazil, and the data are analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results suggest a full mediation of job satisfaction between CSR reputation and organizational commitment. The findings contribute to the literature on CSR reputation, job satisfaction and organizational commitment, in addition to providing insights into organizational practice.
