利益相关者压力和企业不确定性对中小企业社会责任与组织绩效相关性的影响尚处于研究阶段。本研究旨在得出企业社会责任的前因，企业社会责任的做法，利益相关者的压力，业务的不确定性，在阿联酋的中小企业的组织绩效的相关性。数据是通过对阿联酋117家中小企业的调查收集的，并使用结构方程模型进行分析。研究表明，中小企业重视企业社会责任的前提条件的程度，积极影响中小企业参与企业社会责任的做法，而这些，反过来，转化为显着的业绩成果的中小企业。企业的不确定性被证明是调节这两个关系（企业社会责任的先决条件，企业社会责任的做法;和企业社会责任的做法，中小企业的业绩），而利益相关者的压力被发现没有调节作用的企业社会责任的先决条件，企业社会责任的做法关系。任何经济体系都可采用拟议的框架，通过企业社会责任提高业绩。
The impact of stakeholders' pressure and business uncertainties on the correlation between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and organizational performance within small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) is under researched. This study aims to derive the correlation of CSR antecedents, CSR practices, stakeholders' pressures, business uncertainties, and organizational performance of SMEs in the UAE. The data was collected through a survey from 117 SMEs in the UAE, and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The study reveals that the level of importance SMEs attach to CSR antecedents influences positively the extent of SMEs involvement with CSR practices; and these, in turn, translate into significant performance outcomes for SMEs. Business uncertainties are proved to moderate both relationships (CSR antecedents-CSR practices; and CSR practices-SMEs performance); while stakeholders' pressure is found to have no moderating effect on CSR antecedent-CSR practices relationship. The proposed framework could be adopted in any economy for enhancing performance through CSR.
