Summary:This study used structural equation modelling to analyse and investigate the adoption of corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies by the Spanish technology industry and the impacts of these strategies on technology companies’ performance and competitiveness. The research was conducted using a survey of companies located in Spanish science and technology parks.

In addition, the results show that competitiveness is a mediating variable in the relationship between CSR strategies and technology companies’ performance.
