Drawing upon the Affective Events Theory (AET), we exam how and under what conditions corporate social responsibility (CSR) in gas companies relates to more employee safety citizenship behavior (SCB). In Study 1, a scenario-based experiment involving 481 gas company employees revealed that CSR initiatives positively influenced employee gratitude and SCB. Furthermore, the interaction between CSR and performance pressure significantly enhanced both employee gratitude and SCB. In Study 2, a multi-wave survey study of 370 gas company employees demonstrated that employee gratitude not only directly and positively predicted SCB but also mediated the relationship between CSR and SCB. Notably, the mediating effect of gratitude was more pronounced under conditions of low performance pressure. These findings advance theoretical understanding of the mechanisms linking CSR to safety outcomes and offer actionable insights for gas companies aiming to optimize CSR strategies to foster safer workplace behaviors.
基于情感事件理论（AET），我们研究了燃气公司的企业社会责任（CSR）如何以及在何种条件下与更多的员工安全公民行为（SCB）相关。在研究1中，一项涉及481名燃气公司员工的基于情景的实验表明，企业社会责任倡议对员工感恩和安全公民行为产生了积极影响。此外，企业社会责任与绩效压力之间的相互作用显著增强了员工感恩和安全公民行为。在研究2中，一项对370名燃气公司员工的多波调查研究表明，员工感恩不仅直接且积极地预测了安全公民行为，还介导了企业社会责任与安全公民行为之间的关系。值得注意的是，在低绩效压力条件下，感恩的中介作用更为显著。这些发现推进了对企业社会责任与安全结果之间联系机制的理论理解，并为旨在优化企业社会责任战略以促进更安全工作场所行为的燃气公司提供了可操作的见解。
