The Influence of Corporate Social Responsibility Efforts on the Moral Behavior of Consumers

Little is known about how corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts affect consumer’s moral behavior. We demonstrate that antisocial (prosocial) firm behavior leads consumers who use the firm to self-expand to conduct prosocial (antisocial) behavior. Licensing effects are reversed if consumers are hypocritical about their own behavior within the CSR domain.
