Furthermore, the mediating character that both variables play in the relationship between CSR and organisational commitment is confirmed. Ecuadorian managers can infer from this study the positive effects that CSR practices have on various attitudes and behaviors of employees, such as their motivation at work, their confidence in the company and their commitment to it.Research limitations/implicationsthe scant generalisation of its results to the Ecuadorian reality given that the firms are located in a single zone of the country and belong to a specific activity.Practical implicationsnew determinant factors of the relations between the endogenous and exogenous variables could be included.Social implicationsthe consideration of other variables which could condition the relations studies: sex, age, etc.Originality/valuethe work increases the already existing knowledge about the relationship between CSR and different attitudes and behaviours of employees within formal work organisations.
