Education ：
From 2004 to 2008, I studied for Bachelor Degree at Nanjing University of Financial and Economics.
From 2008 to 2011, I studied for Master Degree at Nanjing Normal University
From 2011, I joined the PhD program at Antai college of Management and Economics,
SJTU.

Research on Corporate social responsibility has received an increasing amount of attention from practitioner and scholars in recent years (Bauman & Skitka,2012). A large number of research focused on the relationship between CSR/CSP and
Corporate financial performance (Aguinis & Glavas, 2012;Margolis & Walsh,2001), scholars applied meta-analysis method to analyze previous empirical results, and suggested that CSR has a positive relationship with firm reputation and financial performance(Margolis & Walsh,2001, 2003; Orlitzky et. al.,2003). However, some scholars figured out some methodological limitations from these researches (Margolis
& Walsh,2003; Peloza,2009;Waddock & Graves,1997). The limitations include that large companies are overrepresented in samples, key control variables are neglected by some papers, and different understanding and measurement on CSR. Thus, we cannot infer that CSR may improve CFP from past researches or vice versa. Bauman
& Skitka(2012) propose that existing theories and data do not provide inconclusive answers to some pivotal questions about CSR.
Recently, much more researches addresses how CSR influence stakeholders: investors (Graves & Waddock,1994); government (Compbell,2007); consumers (Sen
& Bhattacharya,2001), communities(Marquis et. al.2007). However employees haven’t received the same attention as other stakeholders. Scholars have called for more research account the impact of CSR on employee (Aguilera et al.,2007; Aguinis
& Glavas, 2012; Bauman & Skitka,2012), since employee plays a crucial role toward the corporate competence as well as corporate social behavior, if CSR can attract

talent prospective employees, increase organizational commitment, decrease workplace withdrawal behavior, arouse extra-role behavior and creativity, then firms that engage in CSR should perform more proactively that those that do not(Bauman &
Skitka,2012). This paper will try to clarify the effect of employee’s perceived corporate social responsibility on employees’ creativity, which applies micro-level construct of CSR to explain whether CSR enhance employees’ creativity.
H1: Employees’ perceived corporate social responsibility is positively related to organizational identification.
H2: Employees’ perceived corporate social responsibility is positively related to affective commitment.
H3: The relationship between employees’ perceived corporate social responsibility and affective commitment is mediated by organizational identification.
H4: The relationship between employees’ perceived corporate social responsibility and employees’ creativity is mediated by organizational identification and affective commitment.
The Moderating Effect of Prosocial Motivation.
H5: Prosocial motivation strengthens the association between employees’ perceived
CSR and organizational identification
H6: Prosocial motivation strengthens the association between affective commitment and creativity.
