Abstract

The increasing importance of corporate social responsibility programs and initiatives has led to both a micro- and macro-level consideration of the impacts of these programs and initiatives on organizations. Does employees judgment of corporate social responsibility programs have any relationship with corporate social responsibility specific performance and their in/role job performance? Our attempt in this study is to answer this question. For that purpose, a sample including 237 employees of Yazd’s manufacturing-industrial units was chosen. The results of the data analysis using structural equation modeling and AMOS software indicated that employees’ judgment of corporate social responsibility has a relationship with affective commitment and extra/role performance. Results didn’t show any significant relation between extra-role performance and in-role job performance.
