Abstract

This study examines how the organizational corporate social responsibility climate (OCSRC) influences employees’ innovative job performance through the mediating roles of job satisfaction, work motivation, and employee creativity. Using a quantitative design, data were collected from 153 full-time employees in Malaysia. Regression analyses revealed that OCSRC significantly enhances job satisfaction (? = 0.896, p 0.001), work motivation (? = 0.276, p 0.001), and employee creativity (? = 0.213, p 0.01). Job satisfaction positively affects work motivation (? = 0.607, p 0.001) and creativity (? = 0.217, p 0.01), while work motivation influences both creativity (? = 0.429, p 0.001) and innovative job performance (? = 0.176, p 0.05). Employee creativity emerges as the strongest determinant of innovation (? = 0.880, p 0.001). The model explains 83.5% of the variance in innovative job performance (R² = 0.835). These results confirm that CSR climate indirectly drives innovation through satisfaction, motivation, and creativity, aligning with Social Exchange and Self-Determination theories. The study contributes by positioning CSR as an internal strategic resource that enhances psychological engagement and innovation in Malaysian organizations

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between work-life balance (WLB), job satisfaction, and in-role job performance among Malaysian employees. WLB is conceptualized as a multidimensional construct encompassing six factors: nature of work, work flexibility, workload, compensation, organizational support, and personal life. Using a quantitative explanatory design, data were collected from 96 full-time employees across various industries in Malaysia through an online survey. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The results show that work flexibility (? = 0.122, p .05), workload (? = 0.145, p .01), organizational support (? = 0.148, p .01), and personal life (? = 0.325, p .001) significantly enhance job performance, while compensation (? = 0.251, p .01), organizational support (? = 0.186, p .05), and personal life (? = 0.567, p .001) significantly improve job satisfaction. Job satisfaction also positively influences job performance (? = 0.850, p .001). The models explained 53.3% of the variance in job satisfaction and 77.7% in job performance. These findings validate the mediating role of job satisfaction and highlight the importance of supportive and flexible work environments for improving employee outcomes within Malaysia’s evolving workplace context
