| Abstract | Purpose: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) when integrated with the business model resulted in the holistic development of the organisation and the community. Many firms have found that CSR initiatives have a positive influence on performance. However, results indicating the contrary have also been noted during the review of literature. Research dealing with the relationship between the adoption of CSR initiatives and market, cost and environmental performance was scant. This research was directed towards finding the relationship between the adoption of CSR initiatives by the organisation and the different types of performance related to market, cost and environment. Design/methodology/approach: This study made use of 527 cleaned responses collected from employees belonging to various organisations. Measurement and structural models were developed using analysis of moment structure (AMOS) to analyse the data. The models were also tested using income as a moderator. Findings/results: Composite reliability, discriminant validity and average variance extracted revealed that the models were acceptable and the model fit indices for both measurement and structural models were within acceptable limits. The accepted hypotheses, namely, adoption of CSR initiatives, have a significant positive effect on the market, costand environmental performance. Practical implications: Organisations can use CSR as a strategic tool to enhance their market, cost and environmental performance for meeting the global competitiveness. Originality/value: The results reveal that when organisations adopt CSR initiatives, the result is a chain reaction with developments being witnessed in several areas. This highlights the need for organisations to adopt CSR initiatives within their business model. A longitudinal study is required to find the extent of the influence of CSR initiatives on market, cost and environmental performance. |
