| Abstract | Both corporate social responsibility (CSR) and employee engagement have become increasingly important to businesses today. The two are related: CSR affects a company’s employee engagement.; The purpose of this study is to explore those effects; the degree to which they take place and circumstances in which they occur; it also compared CSR’s influence to other well-recognized drivers of employee engagement to determine the significance of it.; This thesis will help corporations better understand the role of CSR when it relates to employee engagement, so they can design their CSR efforts accordingly and maximize the outcomes. |
