Abstract

This study analyses how perceived corporate social responsibility (CSR) influences employees’ perceived performance, considering the role of job satisfaction and organisational commitment as intermediary variables in this relationship. The research is justified by the growing need to understand how responsible organisational practices can translate into tangible benefits in workplace settings, particularly in emerging economies. A quantitative, non-experimental, and cross-sectional approach was adopted, using a structured survey administered to 206 Mexican employees. The results, obtained through structural equation modelling using the partial least squares method (PLS-SEM), reveal that perceived CSR has a positive effect on both job satisfaction and perceived performance, while job satisfaction directly influences organisational commitment. Furthermore, both job satisfaction and organisational commitment were found to act as mechanisms through which perceived CSR affects perceived performance. The study is grounded in social exchange theory and social identity theory, contributing to the understanding of the psychological processes that link responsible practices to work-related outcomes. It concludes with practical recommendations aimed at strengthening business sustainability through strategies that prioritise employee wellbeing and commitment.

Este estudio analiza cómo la responsabilidad social corporativa (RSC) percibida influye en el rendimiento percibido de los empleados, considerando el papel que desempeñan la satisfacción laboral y el compromiso organizacional como variables intermedias en esta relación. La investigación se justifica por la creciente necesidad de comprender cómo las prácticas responsables de las organizaciones pueden traducirse en beneficios concretos en contextos laborales, especialmente en economías emergentes. Para ello, se aplicó un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo no experimental y transversal, mediante una encuesta estructurada a 206 empleados mexicanos. Los resultados, obtenidos a través de un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales (PLS-SEM), revelan que la RSC percibida impacta positivamente en la satisfacción laboral y el rendimiento percibido, mientras que la satisfacción laboral influye directamente en el compromiso organizacional. Asimismo, se encontró que tanto la satisfacción laboral como el compromiso organizacional actúan como mecanismos mediante los cuales la RSC incide en el rendimiento percibido. El estudio se basa en la teoría del intercambio social y la teoría de la identidad social, y contribuye al entendimiento de los procesos psicológicos que conectan las prácticas responsables con los resultados laborales. Se concluye con recomendaciones orientadas a fortalecer la sostenibilidad empresarial mediante estrategias que prioricen el bienestar y el compromiso de los trabajadores.
