The Effects of SSNIT Corporate Social Responsibility on Organizational Performance: The Pensioners Perspective

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to understand how Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) as an institution regards the concept of CSR activities and how the Ghanaian Pensioner assesses this understanding and its impact. Two sets of Twenty (20) outline interview questions were used to interview three (3) SSNIT managers by the researcher. Ten (10) pensioners were randomly picked at the head office (Pension House) and interviewed face to face in a comfortable setting. The interviews were recorded and transcribed and used for the general analysis or the research. It is also important to mention that. Most workers are roped into a social security scheme not necessarily by their choice because the Law enforces it: and so by the time they have become pensioners are relying on the outcome of their contributions: they are left with not much of a choice than to accept whatever it is: however it may come. CSR however moves any institution even one like SSNIT further in achieving their main goals thereby attracting without compulsion the needed contributors and adequate investment capital to secure the future for survivors. aged and invalid. It suggests that further study could he conducted to establish the actual value in monetary terms as to how much CSRs contribute to the organizations effectiveness and success. Also further research could he conducted to find what degree these CSR programmes have impacted the society. its relevance and its corresponding value generation for organizations backed by law.
