How Employees Response to Corporate Social Responsibility: A Review and Future Research Agenda

Abstract

This paper reviews the employee perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature based on 25 articles. I conclude the current researches in this area into four perspectives, including leadership style, organizational identification, underlying psychological mechanisms and values and firms’ CSR behaviors. Definitions are discussed in the paper. Future research directions, which I encourage to borrow theories and constructs from justice literatures, underlying mechanisms and organizational identification are also mentioned in the last part to fill in the research gaps mentioned in the paper. The paper ends with a conclusion.
