This paper proposes a quantitative approach with statistical techniques for identifying the relationship between Internal Corporate Social Responsibility (ICSR) and Affective Commitment (AC) and clarifying the mediating effects of job satisfaction of employee. Five factors of ICSR including human rights, training and education, health and safety, work-life balance, and workplace diversity were examined. The major method in this paper is based on the quantitative approach, in which statistical techniques including Factor Analysis, Multiple Regression, and Path Analyses were performed. The unit of analysis was at individual level with the sample size of 233 employees who are working in different departments. The findings of this study showed that the higher levels of human rights, health and safety, job satisfaction and work-life balance employees were perceived at the higher level of AC. Based on the results of the path analysis, this study argued that to achieve high employee AC, employers should reach higher level of employee job satisfaction and improve human rights, health and safety and work-life balance. Although there were limitations, this study is expected to highlight several implications for small and medium companies in building ICSR.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays an important role on creating a good image for business owners especially in banking industry. In this paper, we present an empirical survey to measure the impact of CSR on increasing reputation as well as creating brand equity through customer satisfaction. There are five hypotheses in our survey where we examine whether positive perception on bank’s customers on CSR activities influences customer satisfaction, brand equity and firm’s reputation. In addition, we examine whether customer satisfaction, as in intermediate variable, influences the relationship between CSR and bank’s reputation as well as CSR and firm’s brand equity. The proposed study of this paper designs a questionnaire and distributes it among 384 experts who work for an Iranian bank located in city of Tehran, Iran. According to our results, there is a positive impact of CSR on customer satisfaction (B=0.84). In addition, there is a positive relationship between customer satisfaction and firm reputation (B=0.70), and between customer satisfaction and brand equity (B=0.98). However, our survey did not confirm that CSR had any positive impact on corporate reputation or brand equity.
