The concept of corporate citizenship has been growing progressively in the business field\nfor decades. Our research has developed a structural equation model to examine the\nprimary factors and their interactions that influence economically motivated administrators\nto observe legal citizenship as an essential element to exhibit an excellent social\nresponsibility position in front of their stakeholders. The four-factor model of Corporate\nCitizenship (CC) proposed by Maignan, Ferrell and Hult, (1999) has been validated,\nsupporting that profit-oriented managers should obey the countryâ??s legal system to create\nsocial acceptance. This study scrutinizes the influence of economic citizenship on legal\ncitizenship utilizing ethical and discretionary citizenship as a mediator. The results\ndemonstrate the direct and indirect positive effect of economic citizenship on legal\ncitizenship. Structural model and regression-based approach by SPSS and PROCESS were\nused to analyze the mediation effect. Empirical testing using a survey of 319 college\nstudents in the area of International Business confirms the effects of the included\nhypotheses. This study discusses theoretical and managerial implications of its findings.
