Main Article Content
Abstract
This study was conducted to assess students' perceptions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the impacts of those perceptions on their thinking and behavior. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to examine the proposed correlations by analysing the data collected from 787 students at Nong Lam University. Results showed that there were positive correlations from relatives, social activity participation, demographics, and self perception of students' perception of CSR. Besides, we also found that perception would positively affect students' thinking and behavior.
