摘要
尽管世界各地许多组织都参与了企业社会责任（CSR）计划，但几乎没有证据表明其具有社会影响力。这是一个有问题的遗漏，因为许多计划都带有用于提升组织形象或减少消费者怀疑的营销策略的耻辱。为了解决这个问题并在现有奖学金的基础上，本研究的目的是评估英国一项具有社会责任感的青年就业能力计划。该计划是通过英国职业足球队的基金会开发的，旨在提高伦敦边缘化青年的就业能力和生活技能。作为企业社会责任议程的一部分，该计划资金由一家大型跨国银行提供。进行此项评估是为了了解与计划部署相关的受益人影响。干预前/干预后、序贯混合方法评估的结果显示，几种“软”受益人结果（例如自尊、自我效能和感知市场性）之间存在统计显着差异。然而，关于项目参与者是否实现了就业的“硬”结果，结果好坏参半。定性研究结果支持了这些结果，表明工作动机高、态度增强以及对项目交付的满意度。
Abstract
Although many organizations around the world have engaged in corporate social responsibility (CSR) programing, there is little evidence of social impact. This is a problematic omission since many programs carry the stigma of marketing ploys used to bolster organizational image or reduce consumer skepticism. To address this issue and build on existing scholarship, the purpose of this study was to evaluate a socially responsible youth employability program in the United Kingdom. The program was developed through the foundation of a professional British soccer team to bolster employability and life skills for marginalized London youth. Program funding was provided by a large multinational bank as part of their CSR agenda. This evaluation was undertaken to understand the beneficiary impacts associated with program deployment. Results from the pre-intervention/post-intervention, sequential mixed-method evaluation show statistically significant differences among several “soft” beneficiary outcomes (e.g., self-esteem, self-efficacy, and perceived marketability). However, results are mixed regarding whether the “hard” outcome of employment was achieved by program participants. Qualitative findings buttress these results, indicating a high level of motivation for work, attitude enhancement, and satisfaction with program delivery.
