Rationale Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a concept that has been mentioned a lot in governance research and practice in developed countries in the past decades.
This term is known in Vietnamese businesses in the last 10 years through international organizations, multinational companies, some joint-venture companies, directly or indirectly investing in Vietnam. In recent years, due to the requirements of foreign partners, along with the awareness of society, the need for international integration and sustainable development, CSR has been increasingly concerned. CSR is no longer a new concept for Vietnamese firms. However, activities on CSR in most companies are merely interpreted as charitable contributions, community sharing, environment or voluntary social work of enterprises.
CSR has not received adequate attention in the strategy and operation of many firms. World Business Council (1998) define CSR "continuing commitment by business to contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the community and society at large”. Today CSR is not only a charity or a respect for environmental protection but also involves many aspects, which are specifically concretized in ISO26000 including: Organizational governance, human rights concern, labor practices, environmental protection, fair operation practices, consumer issues, community involvement and development. Thus CSR not only expresses the external responsibility of the firms but also the elements that express the internal activities and internal responsibilities of the firms.
As a firm in the field of telecommunications, information technology, R&D and manufacturing telecom equipment, VNPT Technology Joint Stock Company, from inception, has determined the core value of the company as human resource. Therefore, human resource management are particularly concerned by the leaders, (LUAN.company 1 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.company that including the commitment of employees to the organization. Many studies show the impact of employee commitment on business performance. The commitment of employees directly affects the operation and implementation of the business strategy.
Employees committed to work will help increase the efficiency of employees, businesses achieve goals faster, create professionalism, building the culture and brand. From the fact of the company, there are some limitations: There is no clear content about CSR in the development strategy. The implementation of corporate social responsibility for employees who are following state regulations; paying attention to the training and person, however, the company has not paid attention to the employees' feelings about activities. Many employees have not their commitment to organization, work inefficient.
The company still has high turnover rate, especially highly specialized staff. So how does the implementation of CSR at VNPT Technology Company and the perception of employees of internal CSR affect the employee's commitment? Up to now, there is a lack of researches to answer this question and to solve the above mentioned shortcomings for the Company. From the reality situation, the author chooses topic “A study of employee perception of internal CSR and employee commitment in VNPT Technology Company” as the master thesis. The study desires to point out the impact, the relationship between employee perception of internal CSR factors and employee commitment at the company.
Thereby advising the Board of Directors of the Company to better implement CSR within the Company. Literature review Studies from Vietnam and foreign on CSR in general and employee's perception of CSR are seen on many different perspectives, fields and names. Several studies show that companies that carry out social responsibilities bring many benefits such as improving customer satisfaction (Luo & Bhattacharya, 2006), customer- organization fit (Sen& Bhattacharya, 2001), and customer trust (Vlachos, Tsamakos, Vrechopoulus, & Avramidis, 2009) (Herman Aguinis, Ante 2 (LUAN.company TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail. However, the effectiveness of CSR activities for internal stakeholders, such as company employees, has not been taken into consideration.
Some studies address the relationship between CSR and employee commitment to the organization, some typical studies such as below. Brammer, Millington, & Rayton, (2007) studied the impact of three aspects of socially responsible behavior on organizational commitment: employee perceptions of external CSR and in particular CSR in the community, procedural justice in the organization and the provision of employee training. The research was investigated within a model which discriminates by gender and draws on social identity theory., and Soh Keng Lin (2010) attempts to investigate the relationship between internal CSR practices and organizational commitment based on the social exchange theory (SET) in banking system in Jordan. The research found the impact of five dimensions of internal CSR practices on organizational commitment: health and safety, human rights, training and education, work life balance and workplace diversity.
Results showed that all internal CSR dimensions are significantly and positively related to affective and normative commitment. In addition, the findings of this study indicate that all internal CSR dimensions did not have a significant relationship with continuance commitment. Roudaki J and Arslan M (2017) studied the Impact of Perceived CSR on Organizational Commitment: A Perspective of Service Employees. This study investigated the relationship between perceived CSR and Organizational Commitment (OC) in the service sector of Pakistan.
The four dimensions of CSR employed in the study include economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic. Data were collected through survey method from employees of hotels of Pakistan. The findings of the study reveal that perceived CSR has a significant and positive correlation with organizational commitment. The economic and philanthropic aspects have more influence on organizational commitment of employees.company TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.company The study from Nguyen Ngoc Thang and Yves Fassin (2017) investigates the impact of internal CSR on the organizational commitment evidence from Vietnam service firms.
The study addresses the internal factors of CSR such as labor relations, life balance, social dialogue, health and safety, training and development.
