Abstract

The psychology of micro-corporate social responsibility (micro-CSR) and employee outcome has emerged in the contemporary literature of interdisciplinary management science. Previous studies have ignored the testing of mediating effects and boundary conditions in the association between micro-CSR and employee outcomes. Drawing on social identity theory (SIT) and social information processing theory (SIPT), this research aims to investigate how, why, and when the perceived CSR community (PCSRc; a micro-CSR activity) affects employee societal behavior (ESB; a voluntary behavior) accounting the mediating role of perceived external prestige (PEP) and moderating role of organizational identification (OI). Our research recruited 452 employees in Bangladesh via questionnaire and tested the proposed measurement model and structural relationships in AMOS. The results report a significant and positive relationship between PCSRc and ESB. It also reveals that PEP mediates PCSRc and ESB link, and OI regulates the straight association of PCSRc and PEP and ancillary links of PCSRc and ESB (via PEP). Finally, we recorded the research implications and future research directions.
