Abstract:
CSR initiatives in Agri Tourism Farm Sites have demonstrated a significant improvement in employee intrinsic motivation and organizational commitment, leading to increased job satisfaction and loyalty without reducing extrinsic motivation. This beneficial effect is especially noticeable when employees willingly participate in CSR activities that align with the organization’s ethical and sustainable practices. This study focused on the assessment of CSR practices of Agri-Tourism Farm Sites in CALABARZON REGION. It also assessed the employee’s level of involvement as well as their commitment towards the CSR Practices of the selected Agri-Tourism Farm Sites which served as the foundation of the proposed framework on Corporate Social Responsibility. A quantitative-descriptive research design utilizing descriptive correlation and regression analysis was used in the study, with 201 employees from Agri-Tourism Farm serving as participants. Independent Comparison of groups or T-Test and Analysis of Variance, together with Post Hoc Analysis was also used to test for differences in the variables of the study when compared according to profile. Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to establish possible relationships between the variables of the study, and Regression Analysis to determine which is the best predictor for CSR practices. The results revealed that there is a significant relationship between the level of involvement and CSR practices, however, there is no significant relationship between legal and philanthropic practices and the environmental effort of the respondents. The results also revealed that there is a significant relationship between employee commitment and CSR Practices. Analysis showed that employee commitment is the best predictor of CSR. Agri-Tourism Framework on CSR in the CALABARZON Region was proposed.
