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
