A Research on the Relationship between the Dimensions of Corporate Social Responsibility
Abstract
Conscious societies closely monitor the activities of the businesses and the results of their activities and show their reactions on an activity they do not find correct or sufficient. This not only leads to intensification of competition among businesses, but also urges governments to make some legal arrangements for the activities of businesses. All these developments form the basis of corporate social responsibility practices. CSR consists of economic, legal, ethical and voluntary responsibilities and these dimensions are interrelated. The fulfillment of one responsibility by the business managers depend on the fulfillment of another responsibility. In other words, investing in a responsibility can facilitate the fulfillment of other responsibilities. With this study, in the province of Şırnak, it was aimed to determine the importance given to the CSR dimensions by SME managers and to reveal the relations between these dimensions. In the hierarchical regression analysis, it was determined that voluntary responsibility partially mediated the relationship between economic and ethical responsibility. It was also found that legal responsibility has a moderating effect on the relationship between economic and ethical responsibility.
