The purpose of this study was to expand the knowledge about the limited economic view of responsible leadership theory by examining whether CSR performance dictates corporate strategies (Miles, 2012; Miska et al., 2014). While extant research literature concluded that enhanced CSR engagements can increase a firm's competitive advantage and performance (Carroll & Shabana, 2010), little is known about how a firm's CSR commitments affect the pricing of its services and products in a densely competitive market (McWilliams & Siegel, 2011). This quantitative, nonexperimental, explanatory research addressed the gap in the current literature that has not examined whether the firms' CSR performance in community, employee, environment, and governance categories explains the variance in prices for products and services in a highly competitive market, taking into account moderating effect of firm size. Multiple regression analyses were conducted on a census sample of 272 financial firms from the U.S. commercial banking sector using CSRHub database rating scores as the measure of CSR performance in four categories and pricing data provided in account disclosure guide as a measure of the pricing for fee-based financial services to answer the research questions. The results of this study did not support the assertion of limited economic view that corporate leaders pursue profit maximization through the use of CSR performance to compete exclusively on price by using differentiation as an outcome of customer value creation strategies. Moreover, the results indicated that moderating effect of firm size on the relationship between CSR ratings the variance in pricing for retail fee-based financial services was negligible. This research advanced current knowledge in responsible leadership theory about economic-based social behaviors of corporate leaders at firm level by implicating that differentiation strategy based on CSR performance does not necessary translate into price premiums in intensely competitive and highly regulated markets.
