A structural equation model of corporate performance of bottling companies in Davao Region

Abstract

The study determined the level of corporate performance of bottling companies in the organizational values, corporate social responsibility and leadership in Region XI, Mindanao, Philippines. Using descriptive-correlation and Structural Equation Modeling, the researcher selected 400 personnel in bottling companies in the region through stratified proportionate sampling. Findings revealed very high levels of organizational values, corporate social responsibility, leadership and corporate performance. A significant relationship was shown between all latent exogenous variables and corporate performance; all the latent exogenous variables significantly influenced the endogenous variable corporate performance. The most parsimonious model 4 conveyed a generalized new concept that bottling companies’ corporate performance was primarily grounded on the financial performance and process. Corporate performance, defined from the nature of corporate social responsibility was influenced by environmental and community and highly strengthened with leadership style assessment of bottling companies. Model 4, which was depicted the direct causal relationships of corporate social responsibility and leadership to the corporate performance of bottling companies, was founded to be the best fit and most parsimonious model.
