The aim of the current research is to foster the economic performance of a hotel enterprise
through employee-level corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities with the mediating effect of
work engagement (W.E) and quality of work-life (QWL). A hypothesized model was developed for
this purpose. The data were collected from the hotel employees of a developing economy (n = 396).
The hypothesized relations were tested by employing the structural equation modeling technique.
The current work’s statistical outcomes validated CSR’s seminal role to influence W.E and QWL
perceptions of hotel employees, which eventually contribute to the economic performance of a hotel
enterprise. The findings of the current analysis have different theoretical and practical implications.
To the extent of theory, the current work advances the fields of enterprise management and employee
wellbeing from an individual-level perspective of CSR. Practically, the current study helps the
hotel management to realize that a carefully planned CSR strategy not only improves the economic
performance of a hotel enterprise through employees but also helps to fulfill its social responsibility,
hence leading a hotel enterprise towards a win-win situation
