Employee Activism and Corporate Social Responsibility in Government-Owned Organizations: Evidence from Bayelsa State, Nigeria
Abstract
This study investigates the effect of employee activism on corporate social responsibility in government-owned organisations in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Employee activism is operationalized through three dimensions internal advocacy, collective voice, and social media activism and their individual effects on CSR are examined using simple regression analysis. Primary data were collected from 261 employees across five government-owned organisations via a structured questionnaire. Results indicate that internal advocacy (β = 0.483, p < 0.01), collective voice (β = 0.421, p < 0.01), and social media activism (β = 0.397, p < 0.01) each exert significant positive effects on CSR. These findings affirm that employees are not passive beneficiaries of organizational CSR strategies but active agents who shape them. The study contributes novel empirical evidence from the Niger Delta public sector and offers practical guidance for managers, policy-makers, and civil society actors seeking to embed CSR more deeply in government institutions.
