Abstract
CSR has evolved from a theoretical idea into a complex tool to increase a company’s reputation and strengthen its competitive advantage. Many organizations implement corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in order to prevent a disaster as Rana Plaza in 2013. Although many organizations implement CSR policies, corporate social irresponsibility (CSiR) keeps occurring. Therefore, the perspective of performing good behavior should be changed into avoiding the bad behavior. While CSR is a well-known topic in the academic world, CSiR is under-investigated. Therefore, this paper will focus on a potential root cause of CSiR, namely a tight labor market while investigating a remedy to cure the effect. This paper contributes to the existing literature by investigating a yet unexplored root cause for CSiR. After thoroughly investigating the existing literature, a quantitative analysis is executed in order to provide new knowledge for both managers and academia. The conclusions drawn can be used in business and also suggest new research directions.
