THE PHENOMENON OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND FIRM PERFORMANCE: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

For the past forty years, research on corporate social responsibility and its connection to business success has dominated the field of corporate social responsibility studies. Over time, the area has experienced tremendous advancements and changes. The growing spike in research articles in this area, particularly after 2010, indicates that scholars are very interested in examining the connection between corporate social responsibility and firm performance. The goal of this study is to draw attention to the growing body of information and research on corporate social responsibility and its impact on firm performance. In order to conduct a bibliometric study, research publications published in the Scopus database between 1990 and 2022—a span of 32 years—were chosen for this purpose.
