Abstract

This master’s thesis researches occupational groups and internal and external CSR activities, in order to contribute to existing knowledge about CSR and occupational groups. The focal point of this research is how the occupational group an employee belongs to, influences to employee’s view on the employer’s CSR activities. This study contributes to the literature by looking into the differences between occupational groups and how this influences their view on the CSR activities from the organization they work for, which is an area that lacks broad existing literature. In total, fifteen employees were interviewed to gain insight in the relationship between occupational groups and CSR activities. This study found that the higher within an organization the occupational group is, the more positive they tend to be on internal CSR activities, which can be described as a positive relationship. For occupational groups and external CSR activities, no specific relationship was found within this study.
