Abstract
Corporate social responsibility (CSR), a competitive tool for organizations, is a key value driver of ethical behavior that influences employee behavior. When organizations embrace CSR initiatives, they signal a commitment to societal and environmental concerns beyond profit maximization. This commitment promotes a culture where employees feel a strong sense of purpose beyond their job roles. This chapter explores the intricate interplay between organizational ethical behavior, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and employee behavior (EB). This chapter utilizes a theoretical framework, supplemented by exploring related publications to drive its discussion. Drawing upon theoretical frameworks such as signaling, social identity, and social exchange theories, this chapter examines how organizations communicate their values and priorities to employees. It also explores how employees' identification with their organizations influences their behaviors. In exploring the link, practical implications such as benefits, challenges, and considerable ideas for implementing CSR practices were discussed.
