CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: A STUDY ON TELECOMMUNICATION SECTOR OF PAKISTAN

Abstract

The corporate governance mechanisms in Pakistan are not given much importance to enhance the corporate social responsibility activities in business organizations. Organizations are expanding their boundaries and adopting new and innovative ways to show that they care for humanity. This article studies the influence of corporate governance on different corporate social responsibilities activities in Pakistani organizations. Five-point likert scale questionnaire was used to measure the impact of corporate governance on corporate social responsibility activities in the telecommunication sector of Pakistan. Regression analysis was done to test the relationship between corporate governance and corporate social responsibility, along with other correlational and descriptive statistical analysis. The results suggest that the corporate governance dimensions of discipline, social awareness, transparency, fairness and responsibility have a significant effect on corporate social responsibility.
