Understood as a key theme in management literature, social responsibility (CSR) is installed between two frames reflections namely business ethics and sustainable development. Several researchers have invested in the issue of CSR but few who have reconciled with the risk management and prevention modalities. By analyzing the social contribution of CSR, our goal is to highlight the emerging relationship between CSR and management of psychosocial risks (RPS), formulating the following questions: can we reconcile CSR as a tool RPS management? What is the contribution of CSR to PR management issues? What is the effect of CSR on factors psychosocial risks? Based on the theoretical foundations of CSR, we propose to cross the methodology and action of CSR in RPS generators factors while controlling the level of well-being at work. By analyzing the perception of the employees of the CSR approach, we presented the maturity level of CSR through the materiality test, then we evaluated the social aspect of the approach through the score method to finally study the differences between the criticality PHI before and after the CSR deployment in port activity

Increases in fruit weight of cultivated vegetables and fruits accompanied the domestication of these crops. Here we report on the positional cloning of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) controlling fruit weight in tomato. The derived allele of Cell Size Regulator (CSR-D) increases fruit weight predominantly through enlargement of the pericarp areas. The expanded pericarp tissues result from increased mesocarp cell size and not from increased number of cell layers. The effect of CSR on fruit weight and cell size is found across different genetic backgrounds implying a consistent impact of the locus on the trait. In fruits, CSR expression is undetectable early in development from floral meristems to the rapid cell proliferation stage after anthesis. Expression is low but detectable in growing fruit tissues and in or around vascular bundles coinciding with the cell enlargement stage of the fruit maturation process. CSR encodes an uncharacterized protein whose clade has expanded in the Solanaceae family. The mutant allele is predicted to encode a shorter protein due to a 1.4 kb deletion resulting in a 194 amino-acid truncation. Co-expression analyses and GO term enrichment analyses suggest association of CSR with cell differentiation in fruit tissues and vascular bundles. The derived allele arose in Solanum lycopersicum var cerasiforme and appears completely fixed in many cultivated tomato’s market classes. This finding suggests that the selection of this allele was critical to the full domestication of tomato from its intermediate ancestors.

This paper examines the effect of CSR on the media reputation of corporations in crisis periods. As research object the media coverage of the Swiss banking industry before and after the financial crisis 2008 was selected. The method applied was a content analysis of Swiss newspapers between 2004 to 2010. The data shows that the financial crisis 2008 – as one of the major market disruptions in the recent past – fundamentally changed the public perception of CSR in the Swiss banking industry until today. Firstly, CSR got more important in the media coverage of the banks during the crisis and secondly had a negative effect on media reputation. This research therefore strengthens the notion of the relationship of CSR and reputation as a paradox or moral trap.

Effect of CSR on the Overall and Components of Firm-Specific Earnings

While a growing body of research has investigated the relationship between CSR and innovation, the effect of CSR on exploration and exploitation, as ex-ante strategic objectives in pursuing innovation, has been overlooked.Our study therefore provides empirical evidence of the relationship between the adoption of CSR practices and the pursued strategies of exploration and exploitation in SMEs.Based on a survey conducted within 488 French SMEs and on a cluster and discriminant analysis, our study shows that CSR can contribute to ambidexterity, as the intense adoption of a large range of CSR practices is typical of firms that both explore and exploit.We also find that 1.

How does CSR affect workers’ compensation? An approach by the theory of incentives

PurposeCorporate social responsibility (CSR) is a concept with increasing importance for global and local organisations. Despite its importance, there is still lack in the understanding of its complete role, within and outside organisational boundaries. The purpose of this paper is to develop and empirically test a conceptual framework (research model) that examines the antecedents (drivers) and the effects of CSR implementation.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed conceptual framework was tested, using a newly developed structured questionnaire, in a sample of 80 large private Greek organisations. Key respondents were the executive managers of these organisations. The reliability and the validity of the questionnaire were thoroughly examined, while research hypotheses were tested using the “Structural Equation Modelling” technique.FindingsResearch findings suggest that three factors (“CSR awareness”, “relevant cost of CSR”, “appropriateness of CSR strategies”) have a direct effect on CSR implementation, while one factor (“knowledge of CSR”) has an indirect effect, through “CSR awareness”. On the other hand, CSR implementation seems to have a positive effect on “employee commitment”, “customer satisfaction” and “company reputation”. It should be underlined that these results reflect the opinions expressed by the top management of the companies that participated in the study.Originality/valueThe present study proposes an original, three-dimensional, conceptual framework that examines both the antecedents and the effects of ERP implementation. Such a multidimensional approach has randomly been attempted in the existing literature. Second, the present study examines the subject of CSR in an economy under crisis. This approach is rather unique among previous empirical studies of the same field. Third, the results of the present study may be generalised in other countries with similar economic realities and characteristics (e.g. Cyprus, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Ireland). Finally, the study offers specific managerial implications to business executives.

An extensive work has been done on corporate social responsibly practices (CSRPs) that mainly emphasized the larger firms within developed nations. Nonetheless, still work is needed to observe the importance of CSRPs’ and ethical cultural practices (ECL) in terms of sustainable competitive performance (SACP) that garnered far less attention by the existing literature. This study explores the impact of CSRPs on SACP with the mediating role of ECL from SMEs of two emerging nations, i.e., China and Pakistan based on stakeholders’ theory and practices. The results using SEM affirmed the positive linkages of CSRPs—environment responsibility (EnvR), community responsibility (ComuR), customers' responsibility (CustR), suppliers responsibility (SupR), employee responsibility (EmpR), and Govt. rules & regulations’ responsibility (GRulR)—on SACP. It found that CSRPs have positive relationships with ECL whereas ECL further positively correlated with SACP in the context of both countries. The findings revealed the positive mediating influence of ECL between CSRPs and SACP, respectively. This study furnishes insightful information for management on how firms may achieve sustainable performance by incorporating ethical cultural practices and corporate social responsibility practices as the strategic tools. The study reports numerous implications for management together with lines for future directions.

This is a preliminary study on the relationship between the awareness of corporate social responsibility dimensions on organizational performance of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in Sana’a Yemen. This paper particularly focuses on two dimensions of CSR- Economic and Philanthropy. The effects of CSR on the growth and maintenance of SMEs has made CSR an important element in businesses. Using quantitative research method, data was collected via questionnaires from 30 Entrepreneurs as respondents. Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) was used for the analysis of the data collected. The reliability Cronbach’s coefficient of the instruments alpha Cronbach’s value of 7.0 was met for the two CSR dimensions tested in the hypothesis in which internal consistency coefficients indicates an acceptable reliability. Regression analysis findings show that there is no significant relationship between economic and philanthropic dimensions of social responsibility and organizational performance. This implies that the two dimensions of CSR are not the predictors of the organizational performance of the small and medium size enterprises in Sana’a-Yemen.

The implications of CSR for consumer behavior have represented a quite common topic in recent literature, main conclusions remarking that, while it is true that socially responsible initiatives may induce some consumer goodwill towards the organization, the effects of CSR are more complex than expected. From this setting, this paper aims to analyze university students’ consumer responses and motives attributed to CSR practices in business settings, just as the useful ness of academic background as segmentation variable. A survey study was conducted from a total sample of 400 Spanish undergraduates. Factor, descriptive and multivariate analysis revealed the coexistence of different CSR dimensions and attributions when defining participants’ consumer behavior, some differences existing between students with different academic background. Implications of the study are discussed.

This research aimed to analyze the effect of corporate social responsibility in improving the company's reputation, both directly and through the company's intellectual capital.The population of this study were the annual reports of banking sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.The researcher used purposive sampling method in this study.The total of research samples were 123 annual financial reports.To analyze the data, the researchers used Partial Lease Square (PLS) with the PLS warp application.The research findings indicated that Corporate Social Responsibility Practice positively and significantly affected to Intellectual Capital, Corporate Social Responsibility Practice positively and significantly affected to the company's reputation, Intellectual Capital positively and significantly affected to the company's reputation, and intellectual capital can be a partial mediating variable (partial mediation) among the CSR influence and the company reputation.

This research is one of the first studies to examine the effects of CSR disclosures on a firm’s decision to purchase back their own shares of stocks. Additionally, the authors examine whether the effect of CSR disclosures is stronger than the effect of CSR performance on the decision to repurchase shares. Examining firms in the United States, the authors find that total CSR disclosures and the CSR disclosures related to the dimensions of social, environmental, and governance are significantly and positively related to the number of shares that a firm buys back. Additionally, the authors find that the effects of CSR disclosures are stronger for total and the CSR dimensions of social and governance than for CSR performance. For the environmental dimension of CSR, both disclosure and performance scores are significant. This research expands our understanding of the impact of CSR disclosure by showing the importance it plays in the decision to buy back stock and implies that firms that repurchase their stock are more socially responsive than firms that do not. Finally, it contributes to the growing literature on how CSR disclosure has a different impact than CSR performance on firm decisions and outcomes.
