An Analysis of the Elements Affecting Corporate Social Responsibility in Nigerian Manufacturing Organizations

Abstract

In a world where competition is fierce, corporate social responsibility has been acknowledged as a tool for survival. 
This study examined the variables that affect corporate social responsibility in Nigerian manufacturing firms. All 
employees of the chosen manufacturing businesses in Ibadan (Nigerian Breweries, Nigerian Bottling Company, Procter 
and Gamble, Yale Nigeria Limited, and Eagle Flour Mill) were included in the study's population. Ten (10) respondents 
from each business were chosen using the purposeful sampling approach, for a total of fifty respondents. The data was 
analyzed using multiple regression using SPSS version 20. Competition, employee demand, government policy, 
corporate culture, and consumer demand were shown to have an impact on CSR activities (β = 0.547, 0.34, 0.044, 
0.017, and 0.008, respectively). According to the research, corporations should treat social performance with great care 
since it is an enlightened self-interest.
