Abstract: This research paper aims to study employees’ perceptions of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives adopted by two oil and gas companies in the UAE. Its purpose is to compare the perception about CSR dimensions between employees of these two organizations and to identify the differences in perception about CSR based on the demographic profile and the influence of CSR dimensions on CSR satisfaction of employees. Purposive sampling and questionnaire were applied to collect information from 450 employees in management and supervisory cadre in two oil companies in the UAE. The results showed that the dimensions of environmental initiatives does have a strong impact on satisfaction of employees though demographic variables failed to show a significant difference in perception levels. It also showed that CSR is interpreted differently by employees of both the companies depending on what their companies focus areas are. Responses were analyzed using statistical tools such as Pearson’s correlation, regression, Kruskal-Wallis and chi-square test with the aid of SPSS software.
