Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyze the effect of
corporate social responsibility (CSR) on performance through the
mediating role of job satisfaction and innovation in a sample of
503 Spanish SMEs construction. Developing a partial least squares
structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test our hypotheses,
the results provide evidence that performance is influenced by CSR,
job satisfaction, and innovation. These effects are not only direct
and positive but, indirect effects which allow the positive effects
of CSR to be enhanced are also obtained. This article by empir ically examining the relationship between CSR, job satisfaction,
innovation, and performance provides an essential contribution
to the literature by filling a gap related to the direct effect of
CSR on performance, and the indirect effect by the mediation
of job satisfaction and innovation. The findings show significant
implications for policymakers and managers. The findings can help
managers to invest in CSR, which, by improving the well-being of
their employees and the innovative capacity of their company, will
lead to better performance and the capacity to adapt to the current
changing environment. In addition, our results provide evidence
that SMEs with fewer resources should be able to count on public
support to carry out CSR practices.
