Background of the study:
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives have become central to modern organizational strategies, extending benefits to both communities and internal stakeholders. In Enugu South, Enugu State, organizations are increasingly implementing CSR programs aimed at enhancing employee engagement and social impact (Adams, 2023). This study examines how CSR initiatives influence employee morale, commitment, and productivity. Companies adopting robust CSR practices tend to experience higher levels of employee engagement, as workers feel more connected to their organization’s values and social mission (Brown, 2024). The research investigates diverse CSR activities, ranging from community outreach and environmental sustainability to employee volunteerism, and their effects on the workforce. The study further explores the underlying mechanisms through which CSR initiatives foster a positive work culture and enhance job satisfaction (Clark, 2025). By correlating CSR efforts with employee engagement metrics, the research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how socially responsible practices translate into tangible organizational benefits. This investigation also highlights potential challenges, such as the risk of superficial CSR efforts that fail to resonate with employees.
Statement of the problem:
Organizations in Enugu South struggle with low employee engagement despite numerous CSR initiatives. The disconnect between CSR activities and employee perceptions has led to suboptimal internal outcomes (Adams, 2023). This study seeks to identify the gaps in current CSR strategies and assess their effectiveness in enhancing employee engagement. The research focuses on understanding how CSR initiatives can be better aligned with employee expectations to foster greater commitment and productivity (Brown, 2024; Clark, 2025).
