Abstract
The objective of this dissertation is to investigate why companies engage in corporate socially responsible initiatives and to analyse how much there is an internal focus with regards to its impact on motivation and commitment of employees to the company, from management’s perspective in Ireland, taking into consideration the theory of Social Identity.
A qualitative methodological approach was used and the analysis is based on semi-structured interviews conducted with senior management in three companies in Ireland, one Irish owned SME and two MNCs. The findings are analysed and discussed in depth and highlight the strong ethical beliefs which management have in relation to the reasons their companies engage in CSR activities, and that they consider there to be beneficial effects on employees attitudes in respect of trust, commitment and motivation.
