Research proposal on the relationship between corporate social responsibility and strategic human resource management

The purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual framework in order to analyse the relationship between corporate social responsibility and strategic human resource (HR) management. Thus far, both disciplines have advanced in isolation. Therefore, this paper aims to examine if a combination of these research lines can provide competitive advantages for enterprises. Specifically, we will analyse how a socially responsible orientation in the HRs practices can contribute to the achievement of these advantages through performance variables, such as work environment and intellectual capital.
