Inspired by the corporate social responsibility perspective, this work devises a hypothesized model for exploring the links among contextual variables and collects data via a questionnaire design. Accordingly, in the conceptual model, corporate social responsibility is conceptualized as a second-order construct comprised of four complementary first-order dimensions: economic responsibility, legal responsibility, ethical responsibility, and discretionary responsibility.
To clarify the relationships among these variables, structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to examine the hypothesized model’s fit and hypotheses. Using data from a study of 330 valid questionnaires sampled from Taiwanese customers, the SEM results clearly demonstrate that corporate social responsibility shows significant effect on brand identification and customer behavior intention. In addition, the result suggests that brand identification influences customer behavior intention.
Moreover, this paper offers a contribution to the current literature by adding empirical evidence from customers on the role of corporate social responsibility in the brand identification and customer behavior intention.
