Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was applied to analyse the hypothesised relationships.FindingsThe study found that both economic and philanthropic CSR dimensions significantly influence employee performance, with organisational commitment acting as a partial mediator. The economic dimension of CSR had a slightly stronger impact on performance compared to the philanthropic dimension.Originality/valueThis research enhances understanding of CSR’s internal impacts within higher education, highlighting the crucial mediating role of organisational commitment. It offers valuable insights for policy formulation and strategic CSR implementation in educational contexts.
