Research on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has developed tremendously over the past four decades, especially regarding affective organizational commitment, organizational behavior, and many other variables. However, research on how employee perception on organizational CSR activities and how it relates to job performance are still scant in nature. This study aims to answer these gaps. This study uses quantitative approach using Social Exchange Theory as the underlying argument.

As many as 105 respondents returned the distributed questionnaire, in which only 93 is deemed to be worthy of further analyses.
