Abstract: | The results of a survey of 272 practicing accountants and 374 accounting students enrolled in six universities are analyzed.
Differences and similarities between the two groups with regard to their attitudes toward corporate social responsibility
are examined. The results indicate that the students exhibit greater concern about the ethical and discretionary components
of corporate responsibility and a weaker orientation toward economic performance. No significant differences between the two
groups were observed with respect to the legal dimension of corporate social responsibility. Some explanations as well as
limited generalizations and implications are developed.
