The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential effects of various components of CSR focused HRM on employees' satisfaction towards their job. Primary data based on 563 respondents from 204 organisations operating in India have been analysed to test the stated hypotheses. Using regression analysis, this study has revealed that adoption of CSR focused HRM in form of legal compliance HRM and employee-oriented HRM leads to increased job satisfaction among employees working in organisations operating in India. No such relationship has been detected for other CSR focused HRM components i.e. general CSR facilitation HRM and general CSR conduct. The implications for HR practitioners and organisations are also discussed.

Using regression analysis, this study has revealed that adoption of CSR focused HRM in form of legal compliance HRM and employee-oriented HRM leads to increased job satisfaction among employees working in organisations operating in India. No such relationship has been detected for other CSR focused HRM components i.e. general CSR facilitation HRM and general CSR conduct.
