    Is corporate social responsibility a determinant of purchase intention? : a case study of Ncell Nepal
    ( 2015) Sharma, Sumit ; Thongdee Kijboonchoo
    This study investigates the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities performed by a company and its behavioral effects on customer behavior indicators namely: brand image, perceived price fairness, awareness of CSR, and purchase intention. This study also takes into account perceived service quality and its influence on customer purchase intention. The researcher surveyed about 401 respondents of generation Y in Nepal. Structural Equation Modeling was applied for the data analysis. The results showed that there exists a relationship between corporate social responsibility, perceived price fairness, brand image and purchase intention. However, the research uncovered that there exists a negative relationship between awareness of CSR and purchase intention, and that perceived service quality affects purchase intention in a positive manner.
