CSR as a part of employer branding : A study on the future workforce and their values regarding sustainability (English)
Abstract [sv]

SYFTE: För att bidra med vidare förståelse kring vad som attraherar framtida arbetskraft på en konkurrensutsatt arbetsmarknad är syftet med uppsatsen att utreda hur Corporate social responsibility påverkar arbetsgivarvarumärket och således attraktionskraften hos företag.

TEORI: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) har tidigare visat sig vara en starkt bidragande faktor till attraktivitet hos företag. I denna studie utgår uppsatsförfattarna ifrån att CSR är en integrerad del i företags Employer branding som i sin tur påverkar individers värderingar kopplade till företaget och i slutändan hur attraktivt individen upplever företaget som eventuell arbetsgivare. Person-organisation fit teorin används för att koppla ihop värderingar och attraktivitet.

METOD: Studien nyttjade en kvantitativ metod där data samlades in med hjälp av en enkätundersökning som fylldes i online av gymnasiestudenter samt en dokumentstudie där företags hållbarhetskommunikation analyserades. Enkätstudien nyttjade ett snöbollsurval och besvarades av 91 respondenter. Empirin analyserades med hjälp av programmet SPSS för att fastställa det empiriska underlaget.

RESULTAT: Resultatet i vår studie tyder på att alla tre dimensioner av CSR bidrar till organisatorisk attraktivitet. Samtidigt som det finns skillnader mellan dimensionerna, där den sociala dimensionen visar sig vara den som den undersökta åldersgruppen värderar högst och den miljömässiga dimensionen den som värderas lägst. Det indikeras alltså att organisationer bör anpassa sin hållbarhetskommunikation och lägga fokus på den social och ekonomiska dimensionen framför den ekologiska om de vill attrahera individer från gymnasiet.

Abstract [en]

PURPOSE: In order to contribute to further understanding of what attracts future workforce in a competitive labor market, the purpose of the thesis is to investigate how corporate social responsibility affects the employer brand and thus the attractiveness of companies.

THEORY: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has previously proven to be a major contributing factor to the attractiveness of companies. So, in this study, we assume that CSR is an integral part of corporate Employer branding which in turn influences individuals' valuation linked to the company and ultimately how attractive the individual experiences the company as a potential employer. Person-organization fit theory is used to connect values and attractiveness.

METHOD: The study used a quantitative method where data was collected with the help of a survey that was completed online by high school students and a document study in which corporate sustainability communication was analyzed. The survey used a snowballselection and was answered by 91 respondents. The data was analyzed using the SPSS program to determine the empirical basis.

FINDINGS: The results of our study indicate that all three dimensions of CSR contribute to organizational attractiveness. At the same time, there are differences between the dimensions, where the social dimension turns out to be the one that the age group examined values the highest and the ecological dimension the one that is the lowest value. Thus, it is indicated that organizations should adapt their sustainability communication and focus on the social and economic dimension rather than the ecological if they want to attract individuals from high school.
