Abstract: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a phenomenon that links business and society. It is considered a key strategic concern for businesses, as it may help companies in building a positive image and attaining loyal customers. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of the corporate image between perceived corporate social responsibility (economic, social, legal and philanthropic) and customer commitment in the banking industry of Pakistan. This study is based on quantitative research, and the nature of the study is cross-sectional. Data was collected from 250 banking customers. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted for the validity and reliability analysis and bootstrapping technique used for mediation analysis. Results revealed that perceived CSR (economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic) have a positive impact on customer commitment. Further suggested that corporate image mediates this relationship. Hence, all proposed hypotheses were accepted.
