Abstract
Management science research presents a body of work on the topic of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and organisational behaviour. Corporate Social Responsibility is a concept that first emerged in the business world by questioning organisational transformation and the role of human resource management (HRM). In this thesis, we have opted for a social approach to CSR by asking the following research question: Does the perception of CSR by employees condition their organisational involvement behaviours? To answer this question, we mobilised various theories, in particular the theory of organisational trust. From a methodological point of view, we conducted twenty-eight interviews for the quali- tative investigation and a quantitative questionnaire distributed via LimeSurvey to 120 companies. The construction of these field data, allow us to enrich the understanding of the impact of CSR perceptions on the behaviour and attitudes of employees in terms of organisational involve- ment. In this thesis, CSR appears to be the result of a social construct within organisations in search of meaning. The weight of wage perceptions is at the heart of the issues that determine change and employee involvement in modern organisations. CSR is at the heart of HRM. For us, it is a process that accelerates the mechanisms of incentives and employee involvement.
