The authors aim to identify the key components of CSR for smart cities based on the perspective of consumers, namely responsibility toward consumers, environment and community and validate their relationship.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>The authors exploit data collected by questionnaire surveys to estimate the effects of CSR for smart cities on consumers' purchase intentions and to investigate the statistical causality between them. The multilinear regression model is used to figure out the different impact levels of the three dimensions of CSR for smart cities on consumers' purchase intention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Findings<\/jats:title>The results illustrate that CSR for smart cities and its three dimensions all have significant positive impacts on consumers' purchase intentions. Besides, consumer\u2013corporate identity (CCI) exerts a partial mediation effect on this influence mechanism.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>This research is based on a rather small sample size. Besides, due to the time limitation and other factors, some other control variables are neglected in the regression model. Therefore, the impact level could be distorted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Practical implications<\/jats:title>The authors put forward management implications according to research conclusions. Corporates should actively fulfill the CSR in the field of consumer responsibility to boost consumers' purchase intention. Corporate should strengthen the interaction with consumers to improve their corporate identity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>The main contribution of this paper is to provide convincing evidence of the impacts of CSR for smart cities on consumer purchase intention (CPI), thus proposing effective measures for corporates to win more consumers by taking on social responsibility for smart cities. This paper takes CCI as mediating variable to deepen the understanding of the impacts of CSR for smart cities on CPI, which is innovative and beneficial to enriching literature in related fields.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/lht-11-2020-0290","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,3]],"date-time":"2021-04-03T03:45:50Z","timestamp":1617421550000},"page":"1147-1158","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["Research of influence mechanism of corporate social responsibility for smart cities on consumers' purchasing intention"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0154-6462","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meier","family":"Zhuang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Wenzhong","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Lihui","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Wen-Tsao","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,5]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"key2022112909400163200_ref025","first-page":"475","article-title":"Effects of corporate social responsibility on consumer retention in cellular industry of Pakistan","volume":"4","year":"2010","journal-title":"African Journal of Business Management"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2022112909400163200_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"166","DOI":"10.1002\/csr.1781","article-title":"How corporate social responsibility boosts firm financial performance: the mediating role of corporate image and customer satisfaction","volume":"27","year":"2020","journal-title":"Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management"},{"key":"key2022112909400163200_ref002","article-title":"An ethical framework for big data and smart cities","volume":"165","year":"2021","journal-title":"Technological Forecasting and Social Change"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2022112909400163200_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"225","DOI":"10.1108\/IDD-07-2018-0023","article-title":"Dynamic interaction between higher education and economic progress: a comparative analysis of BRICS countries","volume":"46","year":"2018","journal-title":"Information Discovery and Delivery"},{"key":"key2022112909400163200_ref004","first-page":"139","article-title":"Privacy and ethical issues of big data in the airline industry","year":"2019"},{"key":"key2022112909400163200_ref005","first-page":"121","article-title":"Ethical problems of smart wearable devices","year":"2019"},{"key":"key2022112909400163200_ref006","first-page":"53","article-title":"Smart healthcare and ethical issues","year":"2019"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2022112909400163200_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105","DOI":"10.4018\/IJSDS.2019010107","article-title":"The strategic view and development of corporate social responsibility: the case study of Samsung","volume":"10","year":"2019","journal-title":"International Journal of Strategic Decision Sciences"},{"key":"key2022112909400163200_ref008","article-title":"Research investigations on the use or non-use of hearing aids in the smart cities","volume":"153","year":"2020","journal-title":"Technological Forecasting and Social Change"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2022112909400163200_ref009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"289","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brq.2016.02.002","article-title":"Investigating the relationship between corporate social responsibility and earnings management: evidence from Spain","volume":"19","year":"2016","journal-title":"Bro-Business Research Quarterly"},{"issue":"7","key":"key2022112909400163200_ref010","article-title":"Philanthropic corporate social responsibility, consumer attitudes, brand preference, and customer citizenship behavior: older adult employment as a moderator","volume":"47","year":"2019","journal-title":"Social Behaviour and Personality"},{"issue":"7","key":"key2022112909400163200_ref011","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1130","DOI":"10.1177\/1096348017727057","article-title":"The effect of corporate social responsibility on brand equity and the moderating role of ethical consumerism: the case of starbucks","volume":"42","year":"2018","journal-title":"Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Research"},{"key":"key2022112909400163200_ref012","first-page":"64","article-title":"Using corporate social responsibility to strengthen employee and customer relationships","volume":"8","year":"2009","journal-title":"Advances in Consumer Research"},{"key":"key2022112909400163200_ref013","first-page":"595","article-title":"Corporate social responsibility practices incomes and outcomes: stakeholders' pressure, culture, employee commitment, corporate reputation, and brand performance.
