Abstract
In this paper, through the review of corporate social responsibility related research, the concept of corporate social responsibility, impact factors, impact results, action mechanism and other aspects of the integrated analysis. The results show that there is no unified definition of corporate social responsibility at present, but they all emphasize a point of view, that is, enterprises must consider the impact on stakeholders in various business activities. In addition, according to our analysis, we find that most research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) is conducted at the corporate level, but there is a growing interest in the analysis of individual level, especially employee level. However, the existing literature shows that the impact of CSR on potential employees has not been fully studied. In addition, when discussing the impact of corporate social responsibility on enterprises, few studies consider the impact of context. From these findings, we determine the direction of future research.

Summary
Corporate social responsibility has been widely concerned by academia and industry, and some people even regard it as an effective strategy to gain competitive advantage [1]. Existing studies show that the academic circle has carried out extensive studies on the connotation, measurement, antecedent variables, situational factors and outcome variables of corporate social responsibility. Few researches systematically sort out the existing research results, development context and main theoretical perspectives in this field. Based on the above deficiencies, this paper has carried out an integrated analysis of the concept connotation, theoretical basis, measurement, antecedent variables, situational factors and results and effects of corporate social responsibility, sorted out the development of corporate social responsibility research veins, and put forward an integrated research framework of corporate social responsibility research status. In order to provide reference and inspiration for the theoretical research and practical development of corporate social responsibility
