ABSTRACT: In this research, we addressed the following questions that are becoming increasingly important to managers in the banking industry of Ghana: is there a relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) awareness, firm commitment and organizational performance? If yes, how is the relationship between these three variables? The study adopted both qualitative (case study) and quantitative methods respectively. Banks were selected to gather data, which was acquired from answers obtained from our administered questionnaire and also through interviews. The population of the survey constituted the management and non-management staff and customers of UT Bank Ghana and Barclays Bank Ghana Ltd in Ghana. Hypotheses of the study will be analyzed using correlation and regression. Results of the study show that there are high positive correlations between the constructs of corporate social responsibility (CSR) awareness, firm commitment and organizational performance.
