20.500.12556/RUL-184411 Corporate social responsibility as a stakeholder signal fairness and belonging as pathways to job satisfaction and commitment Existing research shows that corporate social responsibility (CSR) benefits firms in terms of return on investment, customer satisfaction, and reputation; however, limited attention is given to employees as internal stakeholders. Drawing on Stakeholder Theory, Social Exchange Theory, and Social Identity Theory, this study investigates how CSR perceptions influence job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Using survey data from 385 valid employee responses collected across CSR-engaged organizations, we find that CSR is indirectly related to job satisfaction and organizational commitment through both organizational identification and overall justice. In addition, distributive justice strengthens the indirect relationship between CSR and job satisfaction via overall justice, indicating that the fairness signal conveyed by CSR is more consequential when employees also perceive outcome allocations as fair. By integrating exchange and identity perspectives, this study advances CSR research by connecting organizational and psychological levels. Moreover, it offers practical implications for HR policies that align CSR initiatives with employee well-being rather than shifting costs onto staff. corporations work organization workforce social responsibility CSR distributive justice employees organizational identification overall justice working attitudes korporacije delovna organizacija delovna sila družbena odgovornost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-07-06 15:33:21 2026-07-06 15:36:15 2026-07-07 04:17:51 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 [in press] 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova VTisku NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 331.108 1535-3958 10.1002/csr.70688 279322371 Corp_Soc_Responsibility_Env_-_2026_-_Zhang_-_Corporate_Social_Responsibility_as_a_Stakeholder_Signal__Fairness_and.pdf Corp_Soc_Responsibility_Env_-_2026_-_Zhang_-_Corporate_Social_Responsibility_as_a_Stakeholder_Signal__Fairness_and.pdf 1 8F00BD3E33119AFF2BD12DE9D9AA5E8F 2c9858b6ae24bf3d57fdd0852632db25a41cea9afe475c841a4526f82c11aa2b 7bc8702d-793f-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=237179 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/csr.70688 0 7eca3be4-793f-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=237180 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
