    Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) significantly transforms the global agricultural sector, thereby boosting the foreign economy. Primarily, the study focuses on the social practices of Agro-companies operating in Pakistan, thus influencing consumer buying intention. The study presents the extended theoretical contribution to the theory of planned behavior. However, it provides a fundamental framework for integrating CSR orientation with consumer buying behavior. The data of 587 respondents has been collected through questionnaires by adopting a quantitative research approach and simple random sampling technique. Results reveal that consumers prefer brands and are unwilling to pay the higher price for products involved in CSR activities. Both emotional and purchasing factors affect purchasing intentions. Consumers are willing to support CSR cause and intend to buy their products without compromising on elements of purchase intentions.

    (Ios Press, 2022) Sarfraz, Muddassar; Hafeez, Hira; Abdullah, Muhammad Ibrahim; Ivascu, Larisa; Ozturk, Ilknur
    BACKGROUND: The ravages of COVID-19 have created a worldwide emergency in healthcare units. Under these circumstances, the perception of an infection threat is primarily affecting the employees' performance in reducing contagion effects. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to develop substantial measures of support for healthcare employees to maintain adequacy in job performance. METHODS: Data were collected from state-owned hospitals in Pakistan to test the current study's proposed model. We applied structural equation modeling through a partial least square regression in addition to the blindfolding approach in Smart-PLS. Confirmatory factor analysis was also employed to measure the study's validity. RESULTS: The current study's findings show that the perception of a threat from COVID-19 and the inadequate protective measures have influenced frontline healthcare workers' performance levels. The mediating path of depression symptoms indicated the threat of COVID-19 and the absence of protective measures as potential determinants of poor performance. However, an employee's ability to feel obligated toward their job duties reduces the effect of depression on employee performance. CONCLUSION: The current model highlights an individual's feelings of obligation to maintain their performance level by minimizing the effect of depression and professional anxiety. The present study extensively described the psychological constraints healthcare workers are facing during the current pandemic. Current research addressing healthcare employees' mental health is vital for better prevention and control during pandemic circumstances. The current study's findings extend the emerging understanding of employee psychology in such circumstances.
