Abstract

The study is aimed at analyzing the relationship of corporate social responsibility and financial performance by using structural equation modeling (SEM). This relationship is defined both directly and indirectly; it also examines the complex relationship between research concepts: social responsibility, performance, leadership, and business benefits.  The results show that corporate social responsibility has a positive impact on business benefits and business benefits positively impact on financial performance. However, leadership has a negative impact on financial performance when using transformational leadership.
Keywords: Business benefit, corporate social responsibility, financial performance, leadership

Tóm tắt

Nghiên cứu nhằm xây dựng và kiểm định mối quan hệ giữa trách nhiệm xã hội và hiệu quả hoạt động của doanh nghiệp bằng cách sử dụng phương pháp kiểm định mô hình kết cấu trúc tuyến tính (structural equation modeling - SEM). Mối liên hệ này được xác định cả trực tiếp và gián tiếp, đồng thời kiểm định mối quan hệ phức hợp giữa các khái niệm nghiên cứu: trách nhiệm xã hội, hiệu quả hoạt động, lãnh đạo và lợi ích kinh doanh của doanh nghiệp. Kết quả cho thấy trách nhiệm xã hội doanh nghiệp có tác động tích cực đến lợi ích kinh doanh, lợi ích kinh doanh có tác động tích cực đến hiệu quả hoạt động. Tuy nhiên, lãnh đạo có ảnh hưởng tiêu cực đến hiệu quả hoạt động khi sử dụng phong cách lãnh đạo chuyển đổi.
