    Do socially responsible companies foster more engaged employees?
    2025-12-26 - Gomes, Sofia; Lopes, João Miguel; Pacheco, Rossalyn
    Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an innovative approach to creating value for stakeholders by fostering strong relationships. There has been increasing interest in exploring the impact of CSR on employee attitudes and behavior. This paper evaluates the influence of CSR on employee commitment and performance in Portuguese companies through the lens of Social Identity Theory. A questionnaire survey of 278 Portuguese employees was conducted, and the Partial Least Squares method was used for analysis. The findings suggest that CSR practices positively affect both employee commitment and performance. Moreover, employee commitment is positively linked to performance. Therefore, organizations that adopt more CSR practices are likely to see increased employee commitment, which in turn enhances performance. This study contributes to CSR and social identity theory literature and offers practical recommendations for companies, policymakers, and HR professionals, urging organizations to reassess their CSR practices.

Academic scholars and marketing professionals have studying this new media consumer and the way it interacts with the brand universe. Continuing this line of research, this article develops a systematic literature review focused on brand storytelling and transmedia applied in the marketing process, targeting Generation Z consumers. Based on a sample of 125 articles on these topics, the results demonstrate the importance of transmedia storytelling as a strategy that allows brands to expand their narratives across different platforms, creating immersive experiences for Generation Z consumers, who value authenticity and interactivity. The social interaction generated through online storytelling strengthens the emotional connection with the brand and promotes the development of communities, which are essential for co-creating content. Based on these results, an interaction model based on the Transmedia Brand Storytelling strategy is proposed.
