The topic of this study is the relationship between firms' corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance and national culture in African countries. The expansion of the operations of multinational enterprises (MNEs) globally extends their responsibilities further than the economic purpose of profitability to include ecological and social aspects. The interpretation is that the conventional CSR program is mainly determined by the interests and preference of developed nations and hence is apt to be oblivious to emerging nations such as African countries priorities. National culture is a vital factor in an effort to widen the breadth and structure of prevailing CSR strategy and agenda. The problem addressed in this study is the influence of national culture on CSR performance of corporations operating in African countries. Based on GLOBE cultural dimensions, a quantitative correlational method was utilized in this study to examine the correlations between CSR performance of MNEs and measure of national cultural values in six African countries, Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The participants were MNEs operating in the aforementioned six African countries. The findings from regression analyses indicated a positive correlation between CSR performances and assertiveness, humane orientation, in-group collectivism, and power distance while indicated a negative correlation between CSR performances and future orientation, gender egalitarianism, societal collectivism, performance orientation, and uncertainty avoidance. The implications of this outcome revealed that management practices ought to include cultural differences and similarities because they differ from one nation to another as well as within a nation. It was further determined that future leadership training ought to be designed to promote equality as well as non-discriminative issues, which are paramount for the social dimension of managing CSR. Treating people fairly and showing caring can improve performance. Recommendations for future research studies include conducting comparable study to include all the fifty-four countries along with different cultures in Africa as well as how CSR practices through social media could be enhanced and strengthened in African countries.
