The objective of this study to examine the effect of relationship marketing orientation (RMO) as a mediator between CSR activities and customer value co-creation behaviour in banking industry of Pakistan. For this purpose, a set of data was collected from 453 banking customers from Islamabad/Rawalpindi through questionnaires. PLS-SEM was employed to analyse the data while measurement model and structure equation modelling were evaluated for model fitness.
