Abstract

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is centered on the idea that organizational leaders have an obligation to make decisions and take actions that are desirable according to the values of society. Nonetheless, a growing corpus of research increasingly focuses on comprehending how individual-level elements, such as managerial engagement and attitudes, influence CSR initiatives within businesses. In that aim, this study examines the impact of managerial commitment to occupational safety and health (OSH) on different dimensions of CSR. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected on the sample sized 33 and analyzed through reliability, factor and regression analysis. The model proved statistically significant relationship between managerial OSH commitment and CSR performance. This paper findings underscore the crucial role that managerial engagement in workplace safety plays important role in CSR plans by showing that higher managerial commitment to OSH improves CSR outcomes. Future research should focus to sample enlargement and structural equations modeling application.
