One of the fundamental struggles in corporate social responsibility (CSR) is the uncertainty and inherent contradictions that stem from a company being an individual legal entity and a community of persons. The authors contend that CSR has departed from the essence of “social responsibility.” The paper is a commentary on CSR, presented as two frameworks rooted in individualism—The Merchant Trade (the strategic view of CSR) and The White Man’s Burden (self-righteous CSR heroism that assumes the shackles of responsibility normally offered by others). Both, however, contradict the essence of “social responsibility” pitting individual against community, business against society, and economic needs and realities versus ethical reflection. The authors present a model that advocates a more moderate and realistic approach to CSR that goes back to the essence of social responsibility. 相似文献

The aim of this research is to develop and validate a measurement scale for consumer’s perceptions of corporate social responsibility (CSRConsPerScale) using the three-dimensional social, environmental and economic conceptual approach as a theoretical basis. Based on the stages of measurement scale creation and validation suggested by DeVellis (Scale development: theory and applications, 1991) and supported by Churchill Jr.’s (J Mark Res 16(1):64–73, 1979) suggestions, five different empirical studies are developed expressly and applied to consumers of tourist services. This research involves 1147 real tourists from 24 countries in two different cultural and geographical contexts. A three-dimensional 18-item scale is proposed for measuring consumer perceptions of corporate social, environmental and economic responsibilities. This paper presents the complete development of the scale, as well as the implications and limitations of the main findings and the managerial implications. 相似文献

ABSTRACTCorporate social responsibility (CSR) generates benefits for companies and society. However, CSR exposes a company to potential damage when a critical event, such as a crisis, disconfirms the CSR of a corporate reputation. The present article introduces to the crisis management literature the notion of consumer-perceived incongruence (CPI) between corporate reputation and crises. Our first experimental study demonstrates that a high CPI – compared to a low CPI – worsens consumer responses in terms of attitude towards the corporation (ATC), word of mouth (WOM) and purchase intention (PI). The second study shows that these effects are mediated by the perception of a state of discomfort on the part of the consumer. The third study suggests that, in cases of high CPI, the corporate crisis response strategy of apology outperforms that of compensation in reducing the negative effects of discomfort on consumer responses. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed. 相似文献

AbstractThe present study intends to examine environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR) disclosure on official corporate websites within and across a collection of companies. Through an automated content analysis, the findings suggest two broad themes underlying corporate disclosure, and significant associations between personal pronoun usage/lexical diversity and corporate CSR performance were found. In addition, text reuse analysis illuminated certain communication patterns across different industries. Overall, the present study implicates not only theoretical research on ECSR disclosure, but also practical ECSR reporting on corporate websites. 相似文献

Relationships between the environmental and economic dimensions of sustainability have been solidly specified, but relatively
little attention has been given to the social sphere. The current study attempts to fill this gap by integrating corporate
environmentalism more fully with concepts of corporate sustainability. This investigation draws specifically from neo-Habermasian
critical environmental theory research and brings three concepts together for closer empirical examination: the public sphere, the communicative rationality, and discursive design with the goal of capturing whether critical and reflective organizational systems (CROS) among the selected sample of business
participants are in fact developing. Using content analysis on corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports, the study reveals
that some business organizations appear to be on the brink of developing a type of learning environment consistent with CROS
thinking. The empirical findings also suggest that there is a transformative effect on citizenship that can result from the
teaching and learning that is facilitated by voluntary CSR initiatives. 相似文献

Facing increased competition, universities are driven to project a positive image to their internal and external stakeholders.
Therefore some of these institutions have begun to develop and implement corporate identity programs as part of their corporate
strategies. This study describes a Turkish higher education institution’s social responsibility initiatives. Along with this
example, the study also analyzes a specific case using concepts from the Corporate Identity and Corporate Social Responsibility
literature. The motives leading the university to manage its corporate identity, the social responsibility initiatives in
the local and national communities, and the possible benefits of these initiatives for the parties involved are all identified.
The major finding is that philanthropy is one of the main elements of Istanbul Bilgi University’s corporate identity program
and that the university has altruistic motives for its social responsibility initiatives.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the changes in Finnish managers' corporate responsibility perceptions from 1994 to 2004. Following earlier research, the concept of corporate responsibility is operationalised using the stakeholder approach. Empirically, we ask how managers' views on stakeholder issues have changed during the 10‐year research period, and how managers' stakeholder orientation compares with their economic orientation. The data were collected using a survey research instrument in the years 1994, 1999 and 2004. The research results show a positive change in managers' corporate responsibility perceptions during this time period. In addition, managers' stakeholder orientation seems to be in balance with their economic orientation. However, the economic context – in terms of both their own company's economic position and the general economic situation – has an effect on managers' stakeholder orientation. 相似文献

Tokenistic short-term economic success is not good indicia of long-term success. Sustainable business success requires sustained
existence in a corporation’s political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental contexts. Far beyond the
traditional economic focus, consumers, governments and public interest groups alike increasingly expect the business sector
to take on more social and environmental responsibilities. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is the model in which economic,
social and environmental responsibilities are fulfilled simultaneously. However, there is insufficient empirical evidence
that demonstrates genuine widespread adoption of CSR in practice, and its underlying reasons. Though research in CSR has been
rapidly growing, its commercial reality and implications need to be further improved if it is to inspire corporations to voluntarily
adopt CSR. In the literature, Carroll’s four-dimensional (economic, legal, ethical and discretionary) CSR framework offers
a theoretical basis for developing an empirically based model to explain why and how profit-motivated managers take up CSR
voluntarily. Our study has developed a structural equation model to identify the key factors and their interactions that influence
economically motivated managers to take on voluntary CSR, and validate Carroll’s four-dimensional construct. The results support
Carroll’s four-dimensional CSR framework, with the exception of the link pertaining to the relationship between economic
and discretionary/voluntary responsibility. This characterises the economic reality that financial market-driven economic
responsibility does not automatically translate into social responsibility. Nevertheless, the empirical results demonstrate
that corporations can be led to engage in more voluntary CSR activities to achieve social good when appropriate legal and
ethical controls are in place. 相似文献

In this paper we open up the topic of ethical corporate identity: what we believe to be a new, as well as highly salient,
field of inquiry for scholarship in ethics and corporate social responsibility. Taking as our starting point Balmer’s (in
Balmer and Greyser, 2002) AC2ID test model of corporate identity – a pragmatic tool of identity management – we explore the specificities of an ethical
form of corporate identity. We draw key insights from conceptualizations of corporate social responsibility and stakeholder
theory. We argue ethical identity potentially takes us beyond the personification of the corporation. Instead, ethical identity
is seen to be formed relationally, between parties, within a community of business and social exchange. Extending the AC2ID test model, we suggest the management of ethical identity requires a more socially, dialogically embedded kind of corporate
practice and greater levels of critical reflexivity.

The notion of corporate social responsibility has evolved into a fairly complex concept that can influence the very world we live in. Today's society is interested not only in companies' financial results but also in the way they conduct their businesses. Corporations everywhere try to respond to new environmental challenges by actively engaging in the life of the community and by developing relationships based on mutual trust with consumers. This article introduces the corporate social responsibility domain by underlining the importance of this concept to the later development of a company. The article denounces the results of research conducted on Romanian consumers regarding corporate social responsibility campaigns undergone by firms in Romania. Its purpose is to bring insight into Romanian consumers' perceptions of recent social campaigns, reviewing the extent to which these consumers are willing to become involved in society's well-being. The survey conducted here attempts to provide answers to issues that concern the companies' involvement type, their purview, the reasons for participating in society's welfare, as well as the social campaigns' most common action areas. The results gathered show that corporate social responsibility is not only a promotion method, but a method that implies the effective involvement in the life of the community and in its subsequent issues, therefore representing a real means of support for the economic development of the community in question. In conclusion, companies must put their social conscience into use when dealing with their clients and stakeholders, by offering solutions to environmental concerns, resource management, mutual aid, and welfare rising from corporate support. 相似文献

The importance of communicating corporate social responsibility (CSR) not only to socially responsible investors but also to the mainstream of the financial community is gaining importance in a more competitive capital market environment. This article looks at how equity analysts at the German stock exchange in Frankfurt – individuals who are not particularly involved in socially responsible investment (SRI) research – perceive economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic responsibility strategies. The evidence obtained in our interviews suggests that responsibility issues are increasingly becoming part of mainstream investment analysis. However, for them to play a larger part in the future, investor relations personnel must frame responsibility strategies in a way that is more consistent with the financial community's perspective. In particular, the impact of CSR measures on strategic development, competitive anticipation and creating trust with stakeholders are key in leveraging CSR in financial communications. 相似文献

AbstractIn this article we examine the interplay between the severity of a brand transgression, consumers’ prior awareness of the firm’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, and the firm’s response (apology vs. apologia) on the rates of forgiveness among consumers. Results of two experiments show that consumers’ prior awareness of the firm’s CSR initiatives significantly differentiates apologia from apology, with the effect of apology on consumer forgiveness being more apparent when brand transgression severity is mild. Results also show that consumer forgiveness mediates the effect of brand transgression severity, firm response, and consumer awareness on repurchase intentions. In this way, the study enables managers to determine whether or not an apology or apologia will be sufficient to solicit consumer forgiveness, using information about the levels of awareness of CSR among consumers. 相似文献

The relationship of corporate social responsibility to risk management has been treated sporadically in the business society literature. Using real options theory, I develop the notion of corporate social responsibility as a real option its implications for risk management. Real options theory allows for a strategic view of corporate social responsibility. Specifically, real options theory suggests that corporate social responsibility should be negatively related to the firm’s ex ante downside business risk. 相似文献

This paper raises a challenge for those who assume that corporate social responsibility and good corporate governance naturally go hand-in-hand. The recent spate of corporate scandals in the United States and elsewhere has dramatized, once again, the severity of the agency problems that may arise between managers and shareholders. These scandals remind us that even if we adopt an extremely narrow concept of managerial responsibility – such that we recognize no social responsibility beyond the obligation to maximize shareholder value – there may still be very serious difficulties associated with the effective institutionalization of this obligation. It also suggests that if we broaden managerial responsibility, in order to include extensive responsibilities to various other stakeholder groups, we may seriously exacerbate these agency problems, making it even more difficult to impose effective discipline upon managers. Hence, our central question: is a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility institutionally feasible? In searching for an answer, we revisit the history of public management, and in particular, the experience of social-democratic governments during the 1960s and 1970s, and their attempts to impose social responsibility upon the managers of nationalized industries. The results of this inquiry are less than encouraging for proponents of corporate social responsibility. In fact, the history of public-sector management presents a number of stark warnings, which we would do well to heed if we wish to reconcile robust social responsibility with effective corporate governance. 相似文献

Proactive corporate social responsibility (CSR) involves business practices adopted voluntarily by firms that go beyond regulatory requirements in order to actively support sustainable economic, social and environmental development, and thereby contribute broadly and positively to society. This empirical study examines the role of the economic, social and environmental dimensions of proactive CSR on the association between three specific capabilities—shared vision, stakeholder management and strategic proactivity—and financial performance in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Using quantitative data collected from a sample of 171 Australian SMEs in the machinery and equipment manufacturing sector and employing structural equation modelling, we find that the adoption of practices in each CSR dimension by SMEs is influenced slightly differently by each capability, and affects financial performance differentially. The study also demonstrates the importance of the interaction between the three dimensions of proactive CSR in positively moderating the deployment of each individual CSR dimension to generate financial performance. Paying primary attention to the economic dimension of proactive CSR and selectively focusing on social and environmental elements of proactive CSR that drive and support the economic dimension are of key importance to sustainable long-term financial success for SMEs. 相似文献

The corporate responsibility (CR) discussion has so far been rather fragmented as academics tackle it from their own areas
of expertise, which guarantees in-depth analyses, but leaves room for broader syntheses. This research is a synthetic, interdisciplinary
exercise: it integrates philosophical, psychological and managerial perspectives of corporate responsibility into a more holistic
CR-model for the benefit of academics, companies and their interest groups. CR usually comprises three areas: environmental,
social and economic responsibilities. In all these areas there should be a match between corporate values, discourses and
actions. The aim of this multidisciplinary research is to build a CR-model by integrating (1) utilitarian/egoistic, duty/rights/justice
and virtue ethical corporate values with (2) increased consciousness of psychological defences in corporate discourses, in order to achieve (3) responsible environmental, social and economic corporate actions. The resulting CR-model can be tested in companies and executed through corporate strategic and operational management.

The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been the subject of several academic contributions, but in the health sector the development of an interest in this subject is very recent. Although many practices in healthcare are already socially responsible, progressing from a series of socially responsible behaviours to a socially responsible organization entails a more consolidated awareness of the health sector’s mission and the needs of its participants. In this paper, we will review the different studies published that address the relationship between the healthcare sector’s corporate responsibility and society, with the aims of individuating the prevailing foci that are emerging and categorizing the proposed contributions according to these foci: social responsibility and organization; social responsibility and social impact; social responsibility and competitiveness. Finally, the paper finishes with a personal definition of CSR and its correlated ethical roots. 相似文献

Reconciling Corporate Citizenship and Competitive Strategy: Insights
from Economic Theory 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Sylvia Maxfield 《Journal of Business Ethics》2008,80(2):367-377
Neoclassical and Austrian/evolutionary economic paradigms have different implications for integrating corporate social responsibility
(corporate citizenship) and competitive strategy. Porter’s “Five Forces” model implicitly rests on neoclassical theory of
the firm and is not easily reconciled with corporate social responsibility. Resource-based models of competitive strategy
do not explicitly embrace a particular economic paradigm, but to the extent their conceptualization rests on neoclassical
assumptions such as imperfect factor markets and profits as rents, these models also imply a trade-off between competitive
advantage and corporate social responsibility. Differences in Austrian/evolutionary economic model’s assumptions about equilibrium,
profits, and other economic concepts allow this paradigm to embrace alternative views of strategy such as the activities or
dynamic capabilities views. These alternative views of strategy focus on learning and adaptation; they align more easily with
corporate social responsibility. In practice this alignment comes about because social engagement facilitates the learning
and adaptation that are a source of competitive advantage. Among the many business arguments for CSR such as improved employee
morale/productivity or brand differentiation, this view prioritizes innovation. 相似文献
