Corporate Social Responsibility and Human Resource Management

This innovative book is inspired by ongoing interest among management and organisational scholars and practitioners in capturing the intersection between the fields of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and human resource management (HRM) with a focus on diversity management. The editors explore the macro-contextual, meso-relational and micro-individual aspects of CSR, answering questions such as what are the socio-economic, political, legal and cultural influences shaping CSR and diversity management? What are the institutional practices for linking CSR and HRM and what are the implications on employee and organizational well-being? And, how can the differing needs and expectations of a diverse workforce be fulfilled through CSR? Including both theoretical and empirical chapters, the contributors explore how global organisations with a global workforce could develop concrete activities to leverage their HRM strategies and diversity management in collaboration with stakeholders within their community. They share their knowledge of the management process involved in mainstreaming diversity through effective design and implementation of CSR programmes in organisations. This book will be a valuable resource for students at postgraduate and research level. It will also appeal to international audiences, including academic researchers, policy makers and organisational practitioners interested in the concept of corporate social responsibility and its links to human resource management, in the context of globalization.
