  The devastating impact of COVID-19 extends beyond health concerns; the coronavirus outbreak has rapidly transformed into an environmental, social and economic emergency. The global pandemic has prompted businesses to adopt innovative business models and re-strategize corporate social responsibility (CSR) in order to cope with the global challenges triggered by COVID-19. Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) are hit the hardest as they lack adequate resources to strive in these difficult times. This paper is a review article that uses secondary data to analysis COVID-19 pandemic and the CSR of MSMEs' in Nigeria. The study concludes that COVID-19 has a significant effect on MSMEs' CSR. Therefore, the study recommends that CSR projects should be compatible with government policies and plans to have a wider and even more sustainable effect. CSR engagement would be more fruitful if MSMEs embrace collective corporate social responsibility.

  Our research aims to reveal the expectations of employees towards their organization about CSR initiatives, and also to map out what attitudes characterize them in connection with volunteerism that looks back on old traditions.

  With the involvement of more than 300 people in our research - mostly employees of large companies - we mapped the employee attitudes by analysing statistical and spontaneous mentions.

  Based on our results, it became clear that the employees consider it important that their employer also carries out socially responsible activities, and that their most important task is to achieve economic efficiency. They are also happy to participate in volunteer activities for a good cause.
