The Contribution of Corporate Social Responsibility and Organizational Behavior in the Development of Human Resources of Companies: Case Study in Greece

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the link between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and organizational behavior with human resource management. The methodological tool used was based on bibliographic research in the analysis of texts and secondary sources. A literature review and a case study were carried out to study the topic. The literature review enabled the collection of secondary data. These data provide information for other researchers. The case study was conducted in a Greek company that operates throughout Greece in the catering industry and which has many branches. Through the case study, the researcher collected data on the dimensions of CSR and the company’s organizational behavior. The research question that will concern us refers to Corporate Social Responsibility and organizational behavior and whether they contribute to the evolution and development of human resources in companies. We assume that CSR and organizational behavior contribute significantly to the fuller utilization of business staff and we will try to verify this hypothesis. The research results showed a correlation between Corporate Social Responsibility, organizational behavior and human resources. They also showed that CSR is implemented to a satisfactory degree, while the levels of organizational behavior of employees in the company were also satisfactory. The above findings are considered important because they provide us with new data on the situation in the business world. At the same time, they lead us to the conclusion that it is necessary to strengthen CSR through actions aimed at creating a business culture that will contribute to the staff development and evolution.
