Human Resource Training and Development as Facilitators of Corporate Social Responsibility

Abstract:Recent corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature has emphasized the impor- tance of labor practices in the CSR implementation. The research presented in this paper explores how employees respond to human resource training and development of CSR in the context of a developing country. Based on primary data collected via a self-administered survey in Vietnam, we provide evidence of the perceptions of employees of CSR and conclude that CSR can be an effective way for firms to main- tain positive relationships with their employees.
