Journal of Economics and Development 88 Vol. 14, No.3, December 2012 Human Resource Training and Development as Facilitators of Corporate Social Responsibility Abstract Recent corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature has emphasized the impor- tance of labor practices in the CSR implementation. The research presented in this paper explores how employees respond to human resource training and development of CSR in the context of a developing country. Based on primary data collected via a self-administered survey in Vietnam, we provide evidence of the perceptions of employees of CSR and conclude that CSR can be an effective way for firms to main- tain positive relationships with their employees.
