They have a risk of losing their stakeholder’s support if they would not engage themselves in corporate social responsibility activities which could ultimately affect their financial as well non-financial position in the market place. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between corporate social responsibility and different ownership structure (managerial, institutional and foreign ownership), and to determine the influence of corporate social responsibility and firm performance. The data is taken from non-financial listed PSX-100 index firms over the period 2013 to 2017. Logistic regression and panel data regression models applied to achieve the objectives of the study. The study found that corporate social responsibility is influenced greatly by institutional ownership, foreign ownership and firm size, whereas there is no significant association between managerial ownership and corporate social responsibility. Furthermore, the empirical findings show that firm performance (ROA, ROE, and EBIT) has a statistically significant and positive relation with corporate social responsibility, firm size and leverage. The study helps the management in their management decision making process that whether they should involve in CSR activities or not, and up to what extent they should engage in different types of ownership structure. The research also helps the government agencies concerning with environmental pollution to control the organizations by bringing out some new legislation regarding CSR in the firms.enThesis
