Abstract :
In recent years, the widespread impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities on stakeholders has led managers and experts to pay attention to the discussion (CSR) and employee behavior and attitudes. The purpose of this study is to identify the consequences (CSR) on employees, using the meta-analysis approach. The present study is descriptive in terms of purpose, quantitative in terms of applied use, and quantitative in terms of data. The study population was research, master's theses, and researches published in scientific-research journals conducted during the years (2010-2020) inside and outside the country. Having entered the meta-analysis process as a sample, the data were analyzed using CMA2 software. Among the 18 variables identified, 3 variables (%17) had an effect size below 0.3 and 8 variables (%44) had an effect size between 0.3 to 0.5 and also 7 variables (%39) have an effect size above 0.5. The results show that organizational social responsibility (CSR) has a significant relationship with all 18 identified variables, except (organizational pessimism, gender, and age).
