ABSTRACT

 The study examine the effect of corporate social responsibility on company s performance, The broad objective of this study is to determine the relationship between corporate social responsibility and company's performance, To identify the strategies that affects the relationship between corporate social responsibility and performance, To examine the impact of corporate social responsibility on company's performance, To examine the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility and firm's profitability, The study was guided by four hypothesis, the hypotheses were tested using Chi-square and Z test statistics accordingly. In testing this hypothesis, the one sample Chi-square test statistic. The result presented in Table 4.11 shows that the calculated chi-square value is 56.556. This is greater than the critical value of 9.488. Also, with the p-value (0.00) <0.05, this result is significant. Based on this, the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis accepted. Hence, there is significant relationship between corporate social responsibility and company's performance. The result of the regression analysis summarized in Table 4.13 shows that the model for the relationship between bank performance (BF) and stress management strategies (SMS) is: BF = 1. 792 + 0.660SMS, this reveals that bank performance (BF) has a positive impact on stress management strategies (SMS). Furthermore, as t-value > 1.96 (t-critical) and p-value <0.05, this impact is significant. Also, the regression coefficient (r) of 0.843 indicates a strong relationship between the independent variable (stress management strategies) and the dependent variable (bank performance). The coefficient of determination (r') of 0.710 reveals that 71% of the variation observed the dependent variable is caused by the independent variable. Having a regression sum of square of 58.040 > the residual sum of squares of 23.693, this variation is due to chance. The F-value and corresponding significance value of 215.569 (0.000) shows that these results are significant .Based on this, there are strategies that affect the relationship between CSR and performance. the calculated Z-test result is 3.345. This is greater than the critical value of 1.96. Since the p-value (0.000) <0.05, this result is significant. Hence, the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis accepted accordingly. Therefore, there is impact of corporate social responsibility on company's performance. the calculated Ztest result is 3.205. This is greater than the critical value of 1.96. Since the p-value (0.000) < 0. 05, this result is significant Therefore; there is relationship between corporate social responsibility and firm's profitability. This study recommends that; Organizations operating in Nigeria should improve the social welfare of the host communities where they are operating despite the huge amount of money they are realizing.
