Purpose: To provide methodologically sound method of measurement of one SDG at t-th year of
a country for the j-th SDG () and enabling computation of global SDG facilitating comparisons
across time and space
Method: The paper suggests multiplicative aggregation of indicators of i-th target of the j-th
SDG for a country at t-th year) (), which are similarly combined across the targets to find index
of SDG status of the country SDG ( and further aggregation of across countries to find .
Findings: Each proposed index gives absolute measure satisfying desired properties and
facilitates measure to indicate how far the country is from the and testing hypothesis =Log for a
country or for at a given year by t-tests. Similarity of path of progress of for i-th and j-th
countries can be quantified meaningfully.
Conclusions: The proposed method is applicable for SDG indicators expressed in proportions,
percentages, averages, rates, count data, etc. satisfying translation invariance and consistency in
aggregation. Future empirical investigations may be undertaken to estimate distribution of and
inter-linkages of various SDGs to prepare a comprehensive plan for achieving the 2030 Agenda.
Keywords: Sustainable development goals, SDG indicators and targets, Geometric mean,
Progress path, Cosine similarity, Statistical testing of hypothesis.

ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE MEDIATION EFFECT IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND EMPLOYEE BEHAVIOR: A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONS

Esam Al-Seifawi Amro Farfara — 2025-01-19

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has gained prominence as a pivotal factor in shaping organizational identity and stakeholder relations. Concurrently, the behavior of employees in a corporate setting is fundamentally influenced by how they perceive their organization’s ethical practices. While considerable research has highlighted the benefits of CSR initiatives on organizational performance and employee satisfaction, the mechanisms through which these benefits are realized remain underexplored. Literature review shows the intricate relationships between corporate social responsibility, organizational justice, and employee Behavior. By exploring organizational justice as a critical variable, this paper aims to clarify how CSR initiatives can lead to improved employee behavior, including job satisfaction, commitment, and performance. This paper posits that organizational justice acts as a mediator in the relationship between CSR and employee behavior which implicitly impact employees’ engagement and behaviour. Accordingly, this paper proposes a conceptual framework that underscores the role of organizational justice as a mediator in the relationship between CSR and employees’ behavior. The paper provides a foundational understanding of the intricate dynamics between CSR, organizational justice, and employee behavior, offering implications to top management and a pathway for future exploration and practical application in organizational settings. Further empirical research is needed to validate the proposed relationships and deepen the understanding of how organizations can link CSR initiatives for enhanced employees’ behaviour through fairness in the workplace.
