Empirical research was carried out, and data were gathered using a questionnaire from 402 owners/managers of SMEs in Eritrea, a country in East Africa. Smart-Partial Least Squares structural equation modelling was employed. The results showed that CSR significantly influences the performance of SMEs, and this relationship is partially mediated by firm reputation. This research contributes to the knowledge of how CSR activities lead to SMEs’ financial performance. This strengthens prior evidence on the impact of CSR on business performance while also contributing significantly to the literature on the mediating role of reputation between social and financial performance. The application of the relationship to SMEs in developing nations reinforces the originality of this study. It makes substantial contributions to the literature in terms of theory, practice, and policy. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
