Corporate Social Responsibility and Organizational ‎Commitment in Educational Environment With Perceived Organizational Support as a Moderator

As the world becomes increasingly globalized, higher education institutions are expected by ‎society to embrace new and more intricate social responsibilities that go beyond their ‎traditional academic functions, emphasizing commitments to economic development and ‎sustainability. In this respect, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become crucial for ‎higher education as it boosts social impact, improves community ties, and aligns ‎institutional objectives with global development goals. ‎The sample size for this research consists of 367 academic staff members, selected through ‎simple random sampling. The study's findings indicated that the components of Corporate ‎Social Responsibility (CSR), namely discretionary/philanthropic, legal, and ethical ‎responsibilities, had a significant impact on organizational commitment. ‎Furthermore, perceived organizational support positively moderated the link between CSR ‎and commitment. This study's results illuminate how the adoption of suitable CSR practices ‎can affect employees' attitudes and behaviours toward their organization.‎
