The Pyramid of Corporate Social Responsibility: Toward the Moral Management of Organizational Stakeholders
Abstract
I present a structural empirical model of collective household labour supply that includes the non-participation decision. I specify a simultaneous model for hours, participation and wages of husband and wife. I discuss the problems of identification and statistical coherency that arise in the application of the collective household labour supply model. The model includes random effects and it is estimated using a panel data set of Dutch couples. The estimates allow me to check the underlying regularity conditions on individual preferences and to obtain estimates of the sharing rule that governs the division of household income between husband and wife.

... Analyzing CSR shows how organizations interact with their clients, suppliers, retailers, and other stakeholders. According to Carroll [45], CSR comprises the legal, financial, ethical, and philanthropic expectations the society has of organizations at a particular time [45]. Studies addressing how CRS influences HR practices are included [46,47]. ...

Due to increasing concerns and pressure from stakeholders, firms are eager to initiate green initiatives to produce ecofriendly products and services, which are less harmful for the environment. Consumers are willing to pay high prices for ecofriendly products and services. Thus, firms need a motivated workforce to achieve their green objectives. This is only possible if firms adopt their green policies in their green shared vision and start socially responsible activities to gain society’s and stakeholders’ attention, which is possible if firms start CSR activities at regular intervals. The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating role of “Green Human Resource Management” (GHRM) on the relation between corporate social responsibility (CSR), green shared vision (GSV), and voluntary green work behavior (VGWB). Employees of manufacturing companies were the participants of the present study and a non-probability convenience sampling technique was employed to determine the sample size. Data were gathered from manufacturing companies using a cross-sectional survey method. The total number of firms included was 100, and information on the firms included in the study included cement (10), sugar (26), leather (22), steel (8), food (21), beverages (2), furniture (3), construction (2), pharmaceutical (2), plastic (2), and dairy (2). The total number of questionnaires distributed among employees of the above-mentioned manufacturing firms was 700, and 500 completed questionnaires were used in the analysis, thus yielding a response rate of 71.42%. Using the smart PLS partial least square software (Version 4), the structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique was applied for the statistical analysis. It was evident from the results that the measurement model had established convergent and discriminant validities. A structural model for testing hypotheses was established in the second step. Findings of the study revealed that CSR, GSV, and GHRM practices and VGWB were significantly related with each other. CSR, GSV, and GHRM have significant effects on VGWB. Additionally, it can be inferred from the results that GHRM significantly mediated the relationship between corporate social responsibility and green shared vision and VGWB. From Pakistan’s perspective, the research study has applied and validated the natural resource-based view (NRBV) theory, and practitioners and researchers may benefit from its findings. This study has opened doors and paved a path for future studies to use this model and come up with interesting findings by adding more mediating variables. For any organization, it is imperative to have a motivated team which is capable enough to help firms to achieve their green targets. Hiring talented and hardworking employees and initiating socially responsible activities help firms to obtain a competitive advantage and enhance the VGWB of their employees.

A presente pesquisa aborda a Responsabilidade Social Corporativa na Indústria Alimentícia de Carnes e Derivados por meio de análise sobre os reflexos dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentáveis (ODS) e das demandas dos stakeholders em projetos de natureza socioambiental. A pesquisa é classificada como exploratória e de abordagem qualitativa. Foram analisadas as quatro indústrias alimentícias que se encontravam classificadas no Novo Mercado, pela Bolsa Brasil Balcão (B3), a bolsa de valores de São Paulo. Foi realizada análise de conteúdo da etapa documental da pesquisa e das respostas obtidas dos gestores participantes. Pode-se concluir a existência de diversas ações de responsabilidade social dessas indústrias no período observado (2016 a 2020), muitas delas relacionadas aos ODS, sendo contemplados alguns dos stakeholders por elas identificados. Constata-se que os ODS estão sendo parcialmente considerados pelas empresas estudadas, podendo ser mais enfatizados, assim como o fortalecimento no relacionamento com os stakeholders.
... One of the most used and quoted model of corporate social responsibility is Carroll's (1991) [3] pyramid. It indicates that CSR constitutes of four kinds of social responsibilities; economic, legal, ethical welfare (philanthropic).Carroll considers CSR to be framed in such a way that the entire ranges of business responsibilities are embraced. ...
... Corporate social responsibility is a multidisciplinary umbrella concept encompassing fundamental corporate management domains such as business ethics, corporate citizenship, corporate sustainability, stakeholder management, environmental management, and corporate social performance (Brunner, 2019;Carroll, 1991;Freeman & McVea, 2005;Garriga & Melé, 2004). ...
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has consistently received the attention of scholars and practitioners in various academic disciplines, including economics, politics, society, and public relations. In this context, the nature of CSR in developing countries becomes an emerging question because of the business expansion of multinational corporations (MNCs) in these countries. Vietnam is a country with a unique political, economic, and sociocultural context, experiencing rapid economic growth despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this paper explores the CSR approaches, government cooperation, and CSR activities of “big-six” enterprises from different industries between 2018 to 2022 using a content analysis to capture and analyze the CSR initiatives. Our research is the first to highlight some theoretical frameworks in the Vietnamese context that contribute to developing global CSR debates.
In this chapter, we propose a critical analysis of the development of organisational models, discussing the implications of the business culture and the new role of the entrepreneur, the economic and social metamorphosis, and the development of new cultural and organisational models, flexible capitalism, and the overcoming of Taylor-Fordism, the perspective of the Olivetti Model and strategic role of culture, lifelong learning, research and innovation, the integral enterprise, community, and territory between ethical, economic-social, and civil dimensions.
Purpose
This study aims to develop and validate a scale to measure stakeholders' perception of mandatory corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities in the hotel industry in India.
Design/methodology/approach
CSR items were generated based on a qualitative approach. The underlying factorial structure of the scale is determined using exploratory factor analysis. The measurement model is verified through confirmatory factor analysis with validity checks. Additionally, the nomological and predictive validity of the proposed scale is confirmed through correlation and regression analysis.
Findings
This study proposed a three-dimensional 17-item scale comprising the environment, social and cultural domains to measure stakeholders' perception of mandatory CSR in the Indian hotel industry.
Research limitations/implications
This study adds to the literature by providing a comprehensive approach incorporating CSR activities specified by law on CSR measurement. Validated CSR scales are recommended for future studies to measure CSR in India. This study may also serve as a blueprint for other countries to develop context-specific CSR measurement approaches.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first scale development study on mandatory CSR in India. The inclusion of CSR activities prescribed by law on the standardized CSR scale development is a novel outlook.
The ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 disrupts everyday life and has severe consequences on global business. Within this critical context, this chapter examines the impact of COVID-19 on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities in Cyprus. By using a thematic analysis, the study conducted an in-depth examination of twenty-three companies in Cyprus before and during the pandemic, across nine sectors: retail, hospitality and travel, information technology, professional service and service providers, professional education, manufacturing, banking and pharmaceutical. Published CSR activities concern mostly large businesses, with established CSR strategies. The majority of them adopts a cyclical matrix of CSR, and has adapted their CSR activities in order to alleviate the negative consequences of the pandemic on their staff, customers and the broader society. Also, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) without clear CSR strategies had an opportunity to join a network of companies, namely ‘Support CY’ to participate in a number of activities amidst the pandemic. In most of the organisations participating in the study, the crisis has encouraged rather than discouraged CSR activities, whereas long-term CSR initiatives had a great impact on firms’ reputation, brand, and long-lasting relationships with their stakeholders.
To study the impact of implementing social responsibility on the engagement of workers in garment enterprises in Vietnam, the research team collected opinions through a survey of 414 people who are current workers working at garment enterprises in Vietnam, of which the number of valid votes included in the analysis are 409 votes. Data was cleaned and processed using SMARTPLS software. Research results have shown that among the 4 factors considered at a 5% significance level, the factor "Moral Responsibility" (TNDD) has the strongest impact on employee engagement in Vietnamese garment enterprises with an impact level of 0.265; next is the factor "Legal Responsibility " (TNPL) with an impact level of 0.230; the factor "Charity/Humanistic Responsibility" (TNTT) has an impact level of 0.202 and the factor "Economic Responsibility" (TNTT) has an impact level of 0.094. Based on the analysis results, the research team has some discussions to propose measures to help Vietnamese garment enterprises retain skilled workers and improve satisfaction and engagement with the workers' businesses.
В статті узагальнені наукові підходи до визначення сутності поняття «соціальна відповідальність», запропоновано її авторське трактування. Досліджені теоретико-методологічні підходи до формулювання поняття «відповідальність» та похідного від нього – «соціальна відповідальність». Проведено історичну ретроспективу поглядів вчених на розуміння сутності цього феномену. Зазначено, що соціальна відповідальність базується на особистісній відповідальності людини та в процесі її суспільної діяльності набуває певної спрямованості на досягнення господарських цілей, які постають практично-конкретним уточненням базових цінностей щодо господарсько-функціонального призначення колективного суб’єкта соціальної дії. Доведено, що соціальна відповідальність відіграє ключову роль у сучасному світі, де бізнес, громадянське суспільство і держава взаємодіють для досягнення сталого розвитку. Поняття соціальної відповідальності в економічній теорії розглянуто також з точки зору важливості балансу між прибутковістю підприємства та його внеском у соціальний та екологічний розвиток. Доведено, що розвиток цієї концепції сприяє створенню більш стійких і справедливих економічних систем, які користуються підтримкою споживачів, інвесторів та суспільства в цілому.
Offered here is a conceptual model that comprehensively describes essential aspects of corporate social performance. The three aspects of the model address major questions of concern to academics and managers alike: (1) What is included in corporate social responsibility? (2) What are the social issues the organization must address? and (3) What is the organization's philosophy or mode of social responsiveness?
Because the business landscape is cluttered with amoral and immoral managers, moral managers are hard to find. What can be done to develop moral judgment in managers so that the good forces out the bad and the indifferent?
Business for business' sake? Or must businessmen act as "social godfathers?" This article answers these questions and suggests ways that social responsibilities can be appraised objectively and met squarely.
Corporate social responsibility is an elusive concept, but it can be measured and compared within a structural framework and within the cultural context of each organization. Thus, corporate behavior can be analyzed in three specific stages: social obligation, or response to market or legal constraints; social responsibility, or congruence with current social norms and values; and social responsiveness, or anticipation of social change and problems, with development of appropriate policies to meet these needs
