In this study, we analyze the influence of the social responsibility on organizational citizenship behavior in food enterprises. By using reliability analysis and multiple regression analysis, we make empirical analysis to test the effect of social responsibility on organizational performance; the result shows that corporate social responsibility will have positive effect on organizational performance.
