The Relationship between Perceptions of Corporate Citizenship and Organizational Commitment

Dane K. Peterson

Southwest Missouri State University, dkp215f{at}smsu.edu

The results of a survey of business professionals verified a relationship between perceptions of corporate citizenship and organizational commitment. More important, the results demonstrated that the relationship between corporate citizenship and organizational commitment was stronger among employees who believe highly in the importance of the social responsibility of businesses. The results also indicated that the ethical measure of corporate citizenship was a stronger predictor of organization commitment than the economic, legal, and discretionary measures. Last, the results revealed that the discretionary measure was more strongly associated with organizational commitment among female employees.

Key Words: social responsibility of businesses • employee attitudes • corporate citizenship • gender differences
