Abstract:

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) emerged as an important component for companies in the past two decades. CSR attained a distinctive position among researchers and practitioners. CSR is well explored in developed countries with less contribution from developing countries. This empirical study focuses on the mediating role of investment inefficiency (INV) in CSR and firm performance (FP) relationship. Data is collected from the non-financial sector. The panel regression technique is employed for data analysis. The fixed-effect model is used in the study as indicated by the probability of the Hausman test. This study results reveal that CSR and FP relationship is fully mediated by INV.
