As such most organizations have in the past undertaken CSR as per what the law dictates. In most cases focus on CSR is directed to the external shareholders but not those that implement them, i.e. the employees. This study was 4ndertaken to determine employee's attitudes towards CSR programs, their involvement, and the obstacles that hinder their involvement in such programs and what effects CSR programs have on the employee's job satisfaction.
