Research problems: In recent years, the importance of CSR has gained significant attention due to its potential to provide organizations with a competitive advantage (Porter and Kramer, 2006; Asiaci and Bontis, 2019). CSR represents an avenue through which organizations can contribute to sustainability, encompassing the involvement of all societal actors (Lassala et al.
Instead of solely focusing on profit maximization, organizations now recognize the significance of the Triple Bottom Line, which emphasizes the simultaneous pursuit of economic prosperity, environmental quality, and social equity (Elkington, 1997). Consequently, companies face increasing pressures regarding their CSR management, as it has become crucial for associated activities to be fully integrated into strategic processes to translate social and environmental improvements into long-term shareholder value (Arjalies and Mundy, 2013). To effectively manage CSR or sustainability practices and align them with an organization's core strategies and operations, a comprehensive understanding of the internal processes and underlying mechanisms is required. This understanding is vital for synthesizing CSR engagement with corporate goals and ultimately gaining a competitive advantage.
Management control systems play a critical role in supporting the management of CSR, and investigating their impact on SCP is essential (Gond et al. However, the mediating role of GSCM and CR in the relationship between CSR and SCP remains relatively unexplored. Therefore, this research paper aims to examine the impact of CSR on SCP, with a specific focus on the mediating role of GSCM and CR. By investigating these mediating factors, this study seeks to provide insights into how CSR initiatives can be effectively integrated into an organization's supply chain management practices, as well as how they can contribute to enhancing the firm's reputation.
Understanding the mechanisms through which CSR influences SCP will enable organizations to develop more strategic and effective approaches to CSR implementation. Additionally, this research will contribute to the existing body of 2 knowledge on CSR and sustainable business practices, providing valuable insights for both academics and practitioners in the field. Overall objectives: The impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Sustainable Corporate Performance through the mediating role of Green Supply Chain Management and Corporate Reputation. Detailed objectives: From the general objective, the specific objectives set out in the study are as follows: - The first objective is to identify factors affecting SCP of companies around Vietnam.
- The second objective is to measure the impact of factors affecting the SCP of companies around Vietnam. - The final objective is to suggest some recommendations to Vietnamese companies in order to develop SCP in the future. Research questions: - Which factors affect SCP of companies around Vietnam? - What is the role of CSR practices, GSCM, CR in SCP? - What are the supporting solutions for the SCP of companies around Vietnam? 1. Research scope: Time: The investigation, survey and data collection will be carried out from 06/01/2024 to 07/02/2024.
Subjects of the survey: Businesses operating within the Vietnamese market and demonstrably engaged in CSR activities. Research significance: This research aims to investigate the factors influencing the impact of CSR activities on SCP through GSCM and reputation of the company. To achieve this objective, we shall develop a comprehensive research model utilizing established theoretical frameworks. By analyzing the chosen elements and their interactions, the model will illuminate the mechanisms through which CSR activities influence a firm's sustainable performance.
Firstly, this study makes several valuable contributions to the existing literature in the understanding of CSR and its impact on SCP. We lend strong support to the stakeholder theory, demonstrating that CSR activities indeed have a positive influence on a company's success. More importantly, our research delves deeper, illuminating the crucial role of reputation as a mediator between social and financial performance. By identifying the significant mediation effects of reputation, we highlight its essential nature in translating CSR efforts into concrete business benefits.
Additionally, our findings resonate with the resource-based view (RBV) theory, underscoring how a positive reputation serves as a valuable resource, ultimately boosting overall business performance. The positive impact of reputation on corporate performance underscores the importance of cultivating and managing a favorable reputation in today's competitive business landscape. Secondly, the influence of CSR on business performance remains a heated topic within academic discourse, despite extensive research analyzing their association. While some studies suggest a positive correlation between CSR and corporate performance (Oeyono el al., 2011), others indicate a negative relationship (W.
Yang & Yang, 2016) or no significant link at all (Chenggen, 2011; Liping et al. This lack of consensus raises concerns about measurement inconsistencies in both CSR and performance assessment, as highlighted by Galant and Cadez (2017). As long as the theoretical and practical connection between CSR and performance remains a subject of debate, further research in this domain is crucial to resolving the true nature of their potential 4 interaction.can leverage CSR to achieve long-term economic and environmental sustainability. Thirdly, this research delves into the impact of CSR practices on sustainable business performance within the Vietnamese context.
Furthermore, the study investigates the mediating role of CR and GSCM in the relationship between these diverse CSR practices and sustainable business performance. By analyzing these intricate dynamics, the research aims to shed light on how companies that operate in the Vietnamese market. Data source: Primary data sources are the responses to survey questions that enterprises have completed and submitted. Research methods: This study practices quantitative research including preliminary and formal quantitative research through a direct sample survey of 423 enterprises in Vietnam that have concerns about SCP.0 and PLS-SEM were used to analyze collected data.
Chapter summary The first chapter outlines research problems, research objectives, and research methods. Our team has opted to investigate the impact of CSR on SCP. To maximize the effectiveness of the research results, this study combines preliminary and formal quantitative research. 5 CHAPTER 02: LITERATURE REVIEW 2.
Sustainable Corporate Performance Stakeholders are starting to place more and more importance on the idea of business sustainability, although it's still hard to define exactly (Madaleno and Vieira, 2020). Aiming to meet stakeholder expectations while meeting sustainable development goals related to the environment, social issues, and governance, the concept of SCP in today's dynamic business environment extends beyond traditional financially-focused metrics to encompass both non-financial and financial aspects (Khaled et al., 2021; Jha and Rangarajan, 2020; Lc cl al. SCP encompasses various criteria, including environmental performance, financial performance, social performance within the context of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (Habib et al. By incorporating these dimensions, SCP aims to sustain market performance and financial outcomes.
In the research context, SCP places a priority on measuring business performance’s main indicator - CSR, following up with the mediating role of GSCM and CR. This approach ensures that enterprises maximize their benefits practicing CSR under the influence umbrella of the two mentioned mediators. Summary of previous studies The research group opted to exclude 15 quantitative studies, linked to the SCP of enterprises in Vietnam after going through and selecting from more than 40 newspapers, as indicated in the Table 1 below.
