Abstract: This research tests the role that organizational commitment plays in the relation between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and organizational identification. Furthermore, the research assesses civic, ethical and moral ideals pertinent to leadership, as the above relation’s potential moderators, in the Southern Cement State Company of Iraq. Correlation analysis and linear regression help assess the relations among the study’s constructs and variables. Grounded in the data collected from 262 employees, the results affirm that CSR is associated positively with organizational identification. Organizational commitment plays a partial mediating role between CSR and organizational identification, while the civic, ethical and moral ideals pertinent to leadership, often used as a band aid in business enterprises and other societal organizations, do not seem significant. The generalizability of our results might be limited because we surveyed people from a single economic sector; this calls for future studies to verify the stability of our findings across another sectors and firms.
