Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become as an important topic
of research as it has ramifications for practitioners. Therefore, this study aims at
examining organizational commitment and employee engagement as consequent
of perceived CSR with the mediating role of job satisfaction. A questionnaire
based survey was used to collect data from 736 faculty members of higher
education institutions. Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling.
Results reveal that, perceived CSR positively influence employees level of
engagement and commitment towards their organization, whereas, this mechanism
is partially supported considering job satisfaction as a mediating variable. This
study is novel and has implications for the higher education institutions.
