Background of the Study
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to a company's commitment to contribute positively to society through ethical practices, environmental sustainability, community development, and philanthropy. CSR has evolved from a peripheral concern to a core aspect of business strategy, as organizations realize its potential in enhancing brand reputation and stakeholder relationships. In Nigeria, CSR is increasingly seen as essential for promoting corporate citizenship, attracting talent, and fostering employee loyalty. Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, one of the leading construction companies in the country, is a prime example of a firm that has integrated CSR into its business operations.

The company has long been committed to community development initiatives, environmental sustainability, and philanthropic activities, particularly in regions where its projects are located. In Benue State, where Julius Berger has substantial infrastructural projects, the company has engaged in various CSR programs aimed at improving local communities’ living standards, such as building schools, providing healthcare services, and supporting agricultural development. This focus on CSR has implications not only for the communities served but also for the company’s internal stakeholders—its employees.

There is evidence suggesting that CSR activities can influence employee commitment by enhancing job satisfaction, organizational trust, and emotional attachment to the company. Employees who perceive their organization as socially responsible tend to identify more strongly with its values, which, in turn, can lead to higher levels of organizational commitment (Akinboade & Moyo, 2023). However, the direct impact of CSR on employee commitment in the context of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, particularly in Benue State, remains under-explored. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining how the company’s CSR activities influence employee commitment within the region.

This study seeks to explore the relationship between CSR and employee commitment at Julius Berger in Benue State.
