Following tables shows that how the customers respond to the questions which use to
get some idea about customer awareness regarding CSR practices.
Question-1 When you choose a store for your shopping, do CSR practices
undertaken by the organizations influence you?
This question has been used to measure do the customers pay their attention towards
the CSR practices when they are making purchasing decisions. Responses for this
question have presented in accordance with the demographic factors of customers
such as occupation, gender, age, marital status and monthly income level.
According to above data, 52.9% of paid employees are in moderate level of opinion
for this question, because they have given their response as neutral while 34.3% of
paid employees are agree to which they have been influenced by CSR practices when
they select a store for shopping. Majority of retired persons which is 55.6% also lie in
the moderate level of concerning CSR practices. 29.6% and 7.4% retired persons are

According to above table and the graph, it is clear that majority of respondents,
68.49% are never read a corporate social responsibility report and specially 18.75%
that means 72 of respondents even do not know what a social responsibility report is.
Only very few respondents that is 49 in number and 12.76% in percentage have read a
social responsibility report related to a company. These data can be expressed as
87.24% (68.49% + 18.75%) of respondents have not read a CSR report while only
12.76% have read. This is a significant difference which is help to identify the
customer awareness level about the CSR practices which are undertaken by the
companies.
Question-3 You will come back to the company regularly if it stops doing good
things
This question is also used to measure how the customers will react if a company stops
their CSR practices. This will help to get some idea about the level of CSR
importance for customers’ purchasing decisions.

Correlation coefficient measures the direction and the strength of the linear
relationship between two variables. Correlation coefficient value and level of
significant is usually written as “r”. The value of r ranges from -1 to +1. The closer
the coefficient is to an absolute value of 1, the greater the degree of relatedness. Value
near to 0 indicates a very weak relationship between two variables. A positive value
indicates that there is a positive association between variables, and likewise a negative
value indicates negative association. The extreme values -1 and 1 indicate perfect
linear relationship. The scales are as follows,

According to the above correlation table, r value is 0.326 and it tells how it has
correlated between the two variables. Then it explains that there is a positive as well
as moderate correlation between the variables. Significant value shows how far this
occurrence is statistically significant and in this case when the significant value takes
0.000, it makes a high statistical significance.
H12: There is a positive relationship between philanthropic responsibilities and
customer trust
r = 0.326
P = 0.000
Therefore as r is 0.326 which in the range of 0.25 – 0.75, it has the positive moderate
relationship. Hence it is true that there is a positive relationship in between
philanthropic responsibilities and customer trust. The change of philanthropic
responsibility affects to moderate change in customer trust. Further when increasing
the philanthropic responsibilities, it is also increasing the customer trust and when
decreasing the philanthropic responsibilities, it causes to decrease the customer trust
in moderately. Since significant value takes the value of 0.000, it indicates that there
is a 100% significant level means that there is a 100% chance to get exact and
