Fußnoten
1
Hereafter, we refer to this employee-focused research literature using ‘micro-CSR research/literature’ while omitting the ‘employee-focused’ qualifier, unless otherwise noted.
 
2
We recognize that tacit causal assumptions are implied by characterizing the job attitudes and behaviors linked to CSR as ‘reactions’ or ‘responses.’ We acknowledge the near absence of causal evidence in this literature, and we use this language only to reflect how we, and most other micro-CSR researchers, conceptualize these relationships.
