Abstract:
In this study, we delve into the multifaceted landscape of CSR and its diverse impacts on
sustainable performance within project-based organizations. CSR, reflecting an organization's
responsibility towards the community and social environment, constitutes a significant and
evolving dimension in contemporary corporate strategies. The activities undertaken to
enhance CSR manifest varying effects on the sustainable performance of firms.
Our investigation focuses on key factors of sustainable performance, including firm
reputation, financial performance, individual work performance, firm sustainability
performance, and organizational culture, and their effect on CSR, with a particular emphasis
on the moderating role of organizational learning. Drawing on theoretical support from
Stakeholder Theory (ST), Resource-based Theory (RBV) and Organizational Learning
Theory (OLT), we aim to unravel the intricate relationships among these CSR and sustainable
variables. Our primary objective is to identify which of these variables exerts the most
substantial influence on sustainable performance.
We employ a comprehensive research methodology that encompasses both quantitative and
qualitative analyses to examine these relationships analytically. By sourcing data from
diverse firms, we allow for a detailed and nuanced exploration of the subject matter. The
findings promise to provide valuable insights into the interplay between CSR and sustainable
performance in project-based organizations. These insights are intended to inform strategic
decision-making, enabling organizations to enhance their CSR initiatives and contribute to
societal well-being and long-term business success.
