Abstract:This study suggests two identification cuing factors, CSR associations and CSR participation, to comprehend how corporate social responsibility (CSR) relates to identification of employees with their companies. The results show that CSR initiatives of a company increase employee–company identification (E–C identification). Yet, CSR associations do not directly affect employees’ identification with a company, but rather affect their identification through perceived external prestige (PEP). Unlike CSR associations, CSR participation influences E–C identification directly. It is argued that CSR performance is an effective means of maintaining a positive relationship with employees in a company.
