CSR refers to an organization’s commitment to contribute positively to society through ethical practices, environmental sustainability, and community engagement. The study assessed the relationship between (i) frequency of CSR engagement and employees’ job satisfaction and (ii) type of CSR activity and employees’ job satisfaction. A descriptive and correlational research design was used to collect data from 50 teachers purposively selected from 6 secondary schools Kampala. SPSS software was used to analyse the data. The study findings showed a strong positive correlation between CSR engagement and employee job satisfaction (r = 0.65, p < 0.01). In addition, the regression analysis conducted showed community outreach as the predictive power of CSR engagement on job satisfaction (R² = 0.45, p < 0.01). It is therefore concluded that CSR engagement has a statistically significant relationship with job satisfaction. Employers are therefore urged to promote CSR activities in their institutions, align CSR with employees’ values, encourage employee involvement in CSR and recognise employees that actively engage in CSR.
