Abstract

The issues surrounding corporate sustainability (CS), which have gained importance in organizational theory and practice that could help in gaining a competitive advantage, are becoming complex and far-reaching. Competitive advantage could decline if CS will not be maintained. Various factors affect CS. Among those, corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices, organizational culture (OC), and reputation (R) are important factors to consider for improving corporate sustainability. Therefore, the current study objective was to investigate the impact of OC on CSR in the hospitality industry. In addition, the mediating role of R between CSR and CS has been analyzed. The data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire from 350 managers, who were working in the hospitality industry across the country, by using a convenient sampling technique to test the proposed hypotheses empirically and validate the findings. Using a cross-research design and a quantitative-research approach, the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) findings indicated a positive impact by OC, CSR, and R on CS. Based on these findings, the study has practical and theoretical implications for researchers and practitioners. Moreover, the current study is also considered to be a pioneer study, contributing to the related findings in the previous literature specifically in the context of Pakistan.
