CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AS THE SOURCE OF TEACHERS' JOB SATISFACTION

Teachers' work performance is frequently the only way how to differentiate among otherwise almost identical outputs of different universities. Thus, teachers' motivation plays a significant role in stipulating university teaching staff work performance, where job satisfaction often plays a mediating role between teachers' needs and their ultimate work behaviour, including work performance. Unfortunately, scholarly literature gives little room to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) functioning as a motivation factor in relation to employees. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to fill in this gap and to examine the link between CSR and job satisfaction (JS) of university teaching staff using regression analysis. Drawing upon Carroll's (2015, 2016) four-dimensional concept of CSR, the results of this paper indicate a significant positive causal relationship between the economic, ethical and philanthropic dimension of CSR and JS. However, a significant positive causal relationship between the legal CSR dimension and JS was not confirmed.
