- Abstract
Many scientific articles have been written about management students' perceptions of corporate social responsibility. Most of these investigations were carried out on small samples, made up of students from a single university. Very few investigations have compared students from different universities and countries. The main objective of this paper is to investigate whether students' countries operate as an explanatory variable for their perceptions of this concept. Fifty-four previous articles were reviewed, identifying some important conceptual problems and a high amount of methodological diversity. The second objective of this paper is to describe and analyze these problems and methodologies, with the aim of contributing to the development of this field of research. A sample of 1992 undergraduate students in management courses who were studying at 18 universities located in three countries (Colombia, Ecuador and Peru) was selected. A definition of corporate social responsibility was adopted. This concept was operationalized through a set of 18 indicators. An exploratory factor analysis showed that these indicators operationalize the main dimensions of social responsibility. It was found that there are statistically significant differences between the perceptions of the students from the 18 universities, but when comparing universities from the same country, these differences disappear. In addition, it was found that the relationship between perception and country is independent of gender, age, work experience and the degree that students are pursuing. This work contributes to our current knowledge in this field of study, because it shows that the university environment of each country operates as an explanatory variable for students' perceptions of social responsibility. Also, this work contributes to the design of appropriate methodological strategies for carrying out comparative studies on the perceptions of social responsibility, both locally and internationally.

- Abstract
Enterprises increasingly publish sustainability reports to address concerns about their environmental and social impact. However, the voluntary nature of these reports and the lack of independent auditing often lead to skepticism regarding their authenticity, with some perceiving them as mere marketing or greenwashing tools. This study aims to investigate whether the publishing of sustainability reports truly reflects transparency and responsible behavior. The relationship between the publishing of sustainability reports, environmental responsibility policies, and transparency policies is analyzed. The research was conducted in Uruguay. A quantitative methodology was used. The sample was made up of a group of companies that evaluate their social and environmental responsibility practices. This is a non-probabilistic sample, which includes companies that publish sustainability reports and companies that do not publish them. The environmental responsibility and transparency of both groups were compared. Thirteen indicators were used to measure environmental responsibility, and eight indicators were used to measure transparency. To evaluate the relationship between the variables, different statistical techniques were used: chi-square, difference of means test, and simple correlations. Our findings reveal that: (1) enterprises publishing sustainability reports tend to have more developed environmental responsibility policies and greater transparency compared to those that do not publish, and (2) interestingly, the choice of reporting standards, particularly the Global Reporting Initiative, does not significantly impact the observed outcomes. Furthermore, the relationship among report publication, environmental responsibility, and transparency is influenced by enterprise size but remains unaffected by public trading status or capital origin (local or international). Despite its methodological limitations, this work contributes to the debate on the sincerity of companies that publish sustainability reports. Its results contribute to reducing the skepticism and distrust that exists about these reports. Also, the work contributes to the study of the relationship between environmental responsibility and the publishing of reports because it included segments of companies that are not considered in most research: medium-sized companies and private companies that are not listed on the stock market.

11. El conocimiento producido por las universidades: un bien común que requiere la responsabilidad social de las revistas académicas latinoamericanas

- Abstract
El término “bienes comunes” (common goods) fue acuñado para referirse a los recursos naturales cuyo uso abusivo y/o descontrolado está causando males a la humanidad: el aire, el agua de los ríos, los bosques, la capa de ozono, etc. Posteriormente, emergieron opiniones que proponen que algunos servicios sociales (la educación, la atención de salud, etc.) y las creaciones colectivas de la humanidad (el arte, el conocimiento científico, etc.) también lo son. Los bienes comunes son “recursos, que más allá de la propiedad o la pertenencia, asumen, por su propia vocación natural y económica, funciones de interés social” (Subirats Humet, 2011, p. 196). Estos bienes se diferencian de los demás tipos de bienes (privados y públicos) porque todas las personas tienen el derecho de acceder a ellos por el solo hecho de ser miembros de la sociedad. Por lo tanto, los académicos y las revistas académicas deberían gestionar el conocimiento producido en las universidades como un bien común, lo cual implica la responsabilidad social de asegurar su calidad, su pertinencia social y su difusión sin restricciones.

14. Definition of Corporate Social Responsibility as a Management Philosophy Oriented towards the Management of Externalities: Proposal and Argumentation.

Licandro, Oscar, Vázquez-Burguete, José Luis, Ortigueira, Luis, and Correa, Patricia
- Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the theoretical discussion on the best way to define Corporate Social Responsibility. The methodology used is a bibliographic review through a search for articles in different catalogues (Redalyc, Ebsco, JStor, SAGE, Science Direct, and Springer), focusing on articles that addressed the study of definitions of this concept. The different ways of defining it are identified and analysed in order to find a definition can encompass all the others. The paper also proposes that locating this concept at the level of management philosophy (and not simply as a desirable or expected behaviour) facilitates the construction of agreements around a consensual definition, unlike under the predominant behavioural approach of its conceptualisation as corporate behaviour. The paper concludes by proposing to define Corporate Social Responsibility as a management philosophy based on the responsible management of the company's operational externalities on stakeholders, society, and the environment. It is concluded that this definition contributes to the theoretical discussion, strengthens empirical research, and improves the application of Corporate Social Responsibility in the corporate world.

En este documento se aborda el problema de la posible influencia del género del director ejecutivo sobre la incorporación de la responsabilidad social empresarial. El objetivo fue estudiar si existe relación entre estas variables. Se utilizó una metodología de tipo cuantitativo, aplicada a una base de datos con información sobre el uso de prácticas generales de gestión. Se trata de una base de 107 prácticas específicas de la responsabilidad social empresarial. Para estudiar la relación entre el género del director ejecutivo y estas variables se utilizaron las pruebas estadísticas chi cuadrado y diferencia de medias. Se encontró que, en general, el género del director ejecutivo no influye en la aplicación de la responsabilidad social empresarial, a excepción de algunas acciones de esta última de carácter filantrópico y del uso del voluntariado corporativo.

- Abstract
The knowledge of the motivations of the volunteers is a critical input for the design of recruitment and retention strategies in corporate volunteering programs. Despite its importance, empirical research on the motivation in this type of volunteering is only incipient and isolated. The objective of the research was to identify the structure of motivations of corporate volunteers and to study whether that structure depends on socio-demographic and cultural factors of volunteers and the practice of personal volunteering in social institutions. It is a correlational type study supported by a quantitative type methodology. A self-administered questionnaire was applied to volunteers from 13 companies that implement corporate volunteering programs in Uruguay. The motivations were measured based on the Volunteer Functions Inventory, which is a validated and widely applied tool to measure the volunteering in social organizations The results are consistent with research conducted in other countries, with the difference that the reasons related to the interest in acquiring knowledge registered a higher relative weight than strictly altruistic motives. It was also found that the structure of motivations was independent of most of the variables that characterize the volunteers, while significant differences were recorded between volunteers comparing different companies. Among the main conclusions, it stands out that the motivation of corporate volunteers combines altruistic and egocentric motives, that the structure of motivations of each volunteer does not seem to depend on personal factors and that there are factors related to the company that impact on that structure., El conocimiento de las motivaciones de los voluntarios es un insumo crítico para el diseño de estrategias de captación y retención en los programas de voluntariado corporativo. No obstante, su importancia, la investigación empírica sobre la motivación en este tipo de voluntariado es apenas incipiente y aislada. El objetivo de la investigación fue identificar la estructura de motivaciones de los voluntarios corporativos y estudiar si esa estructura depende de factores sociodemográficos y culturales de los voluntarios y de la práctica del voluntariado personal en instituciones sociales. Es un estudio de tipo correlacional apoyado en una metodología de tipo cuantitativo. Se aplicó un cuestionario auto-administrado a voluntarios de 13 empresas que en Uruguay implementan programas de voluntariado corporativo. Las motivaciones se midieron en base al Volunteer Functions Inventory, que es una herramienta validada y ampliamente aplicada para medir las motivaciones del voluntariado en organizaciones sociales. Los resultados obtenidos son consistentes con los de investigaciones realizadas en otros países, con la diferencia de que los motivos relacionados con el interés por adquirir conocimientos registraron un mayor peso relativo que los estrictamente altruistas. También se encontró que la estructura de motivaciones resultó ser independiente de la mayoría de las variables que caracterizan a los voluntarios, al tiempo que se registraron diferencias significativas al comparar entre voluntarios de distintas empresas. Entre las principales conclusiones se destaca que la motivación de los voluntarios corporativos combina motivos altruistas y egocéntricos, que la estructura de motivaciones de cada voluntario no parece depender de factores personales y que existen factores relacionados con la empresa que impactan sobre esa estructura.

En este documento se presentan los resultados de una investigación sobre la relación entre motivación y satisfacción en el voluntariado corporativo. La investigación se basó en una muestra no probabilística de voluntarios de 13 empresas que poseen programas de voluntariado corporativo en Uruguay. La satisfacción se dividió en cinco dimensiones tomadas de la literatura, una de las cuales refiere a la satisfacción de las motivaciones y las otras cuatro aluden a aspectos controlables por las empresas (satisfacción con la organización, oferta de actividades, tareas y apoyo que reciben los voluntarios). Para medir la motivación se utilizó el marco conceptual y los indicadores del Volunteer Functions Inventory. Se encontró que existe correlación positiva entre la motivación y cada una de las cinco dimensiones de la satisfacción. Los resultados de esta investigación contribuyen al desarrollo teórico y metodológico sobre el estudio de la satisfacción en el ámbito específico del voluntariado corporativo. Además, son un aporte para los gestores de las actividades de voluntario corporativo, para mejorar la satisfacción en las dimensiones que son controlables ellos.

Los contenidos sobre la Responsabilidad Social que se enseñan en las universidades impactan indirectamente sobre su aplicación en las empresas, porque esos contenidos influyen en la forma como los futuros líderes empresariales interpretan y aplican este concepto. La investigación se diseñó con el objetivo de evaluar si coinciden o divergen los conocimientos y opiniones sobre la Responsabilidad Social Interna adquiridos por estudiantes de diferentes universidades. Se aplicó, en forma auto-administrada, un cuestionario estructurado a una muestra no probabilística de estudiantes de tres universidades radicadas en: Colombia, España y Uruguay. Se utilizaron baterías de indicadores que miden: 1) la forma como los estudiantes interpretan el concepto de Responsabilidad Social Interna, 2) su conocimiento sobre las funciones que debe cumplir el área de recursos humanos cuando se aplica la Responsabilidad Social y 3) sus opiniones sobre los beneficios que genera la Responsabilidad Social Interna para la relación de las empresas con sus empleados. En este documento se presentan resultados basados en información preliminar. Se encontró que existen, entre los estudiantes de las tres universidades, diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la forma de interpretar la Responsabilidad Social Interna, pero no ocurre lo mismo con su conocimiento sobre las funciones del área de Recursos y Humanos y en su opinión sobre los beneficios que ella genera.

To measure motivation, the conceptual framework and indicators of the Volunteer Functions Inventory were used. It was found that there is a positive correlation between motivation and each of the five dimensions of satisfaction. The results of this research contribute to the theoretical and methodological development on the study of satisfaction in the specific field of corporate volunteering. In addition, they are a contribution to the managers of corporate volunteer activities, to improve satisfaction in the dimensions that are controllable by them.

La identificación de los factores personales y contextuales que determinan la satisfacción de los voluntarios constituye un insumo crítico de información para la toma de decisiones en la gestión del Voluntariado Corporativo. Se presentan aquí los resultados de una investigación que tuvo como objetivo estudiar la influencia de esos factores sobre la satisfacción de los voluntarios corporativos. Se aplicó un cuestionario auto-administrado a los voluntarios de una muestra no probabilística de empresas que en Uruguay aplican el Voluntariado Corporativo en forma sistemática. La investigación reveló que la satisfacción en este tipo de voluntariado se asocia con el género, con la tenencia de hijos, la adhesión a una religión, practicar voluntariado personal fuera de la empresa, la posición en la empresa y la antigüedad en ella. Se encontró también la existencia de correlación entre la satisfacción y el tipo de tareas que realizan los voluntarios, así como con las causas sociales donde se canaliza su participación. Se concluye que la satisfacción de los voluntarios corporativos depende de un mix de factores personales y contextuales que cada empresa necesita identificar a los efectos de fortalecer el reclutamiento y permanencia de los voluntarios.

- Abstract
This document identifies the benefits of Corporate Volunteering for the management of Human Resources present in the scientific literature, they are organized into three categories (development of skills in employees, strengthening the link between them and the company, creating conditions that improve its performance) and the results of an investigation are presented, which had as objectives: a) to verify the occurrence of these benefits; b) determine if it depends on structural factors of the companies (size, sector of activity and origin of capital) and on factors related to volunteer management. It worked with a non-probabilistic sample of companies that apply volunteering in Uruguay, to which a structured questionnaire was applied that included eight indicators on benefits. It was found, through statistical tests, that the eight benefits are present in the experience of the companies studied and that their occurrence is independent of the profile of the companies, the way in which volunteering is managed in them and the alignment of volunteer activities with Human Resources policies., En este documento se identifican los beneficios del Voluntariado Corporativo para la gestión de Recursos Humanos presentes en la literatura científica, se los organiza en tres categorías (desarrollo de habilidades en los empleados, fortalecimiento del vínculo entre ellos y la empresa, creación de condiciones que mejoran su desempeño) y se presentan los resultados de una investigación que tuvo como objetivos: a) comprobar la ocurrencia de esos beneficios; b) determinar si la misma depende de factores estructurales de las empresas (tamaño, sector de actividad y origen del capital) y de factores relacionados con la gestión del voluntariado. Se trabajó con una muestra no probabilística de empresas que aplican el voluntariado en Uruguay, a las que se aplicó un cuestionario estructurado que incluyó ocho indicadores sobre beneficios. Se encontró, mediante test estadísticos, que los ocho beneficios están presentes en la experiencia de las empresas estudiadas y que su ocurrencia es independiente del perfil de las empresas, de la forma como se gestiona en ellas el voluntariado y del alineamiento de las actividades de voluntariado con las políticas de Recursos Humanos.

A range of research has found a positive relationship between Internal Social Responsibility and the organizational commitment of employees, but the possible participation of other variables that mediate in this relationship needs to be studied in greater depth. The purpose of this paper is to assess whether this relationship is mediated by two widely studied factors in organizational management: employee satisfaction and organizational climate. Information provided by a nonprobabilistic sample of companies that have incorporated Social Responsibility into their operations in Uruguay was analyzed. A questionnaire was used that includes indicators on: specific Internal Social Responsibility practices, three dimensions of organizational commitment (identification, engagement, and membership) and the two control variables (job satisfaction and organizational climate). It was found that Internal Social Responsibility correlates positively with two aspects of organizational commitment (identification and engagement), that this relationship is independent of the two control variables in the case of identification, but that it is mediated by them in the case of engagement. These results suggest that the relationship between Social Responsibility and organizational commitment is complex and that other factors intervene, therefore, in research and management, the role of these factors should be taken into account.

- Abstract
Traditionally the death of companies has been conceived as the failure in the management of resources by managers and / or owners. From that perspective, managers have become a fundamental asset for survival; representing the articulating entity between the financial capabilities of the company and the conditions of the business environment. In this sense, this article has as main objective to determine, from the organizational studies, the external factors that determine the survival of a population-based business group, in specific supply micro businesses (miscellaneous) established in the City of Chetumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico. A correlational investigation was carried out, through the application of a factor analysis. To obtain data, 221 microenterprises were analyzed, during the period from January to December 2018. The results obtained indicate that the factors that affect the survival of this type of companies are: The age of business, density of organizational populations and The characteristics of the environment. It was concluded that business survival is conditioned by the age of the company, the experience of the entrepreneur in the sector, population density, competition and regulation established in the State of Quintana Roo, Mexico., Tradicionalmente la mortandad de empresas ha sido concebida como el fracaso en la gestión de recursos por parte de gerentes y/o propietarios. Desde esa perspectiva, los directivos se han constituido activo fundamental para la sobrevivencia; representando el ente articulador entre las capacidades financieras de la empresa y las condiciones del entorno de negocios. En ese sentido, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo principal determinar, desde los estudios organizacionales, los factores externos que determinan la sobrevivencia de un grupo poblacional de negocios, en específico microempresas de abasto (misceláneas) establecidas en la Ciudad de Chetumal, Quintana Roo, México. Se realizó una investigación de tipo correlacional, mediante la aplicación de un análisis factorial. Para obtener datos se analizaron 221 microempresas, durante el período comprendido de enero a diciembre de 2018. Los resultados obtenidos indican que los factores que inciden en la sobrevivencia de este tipo de empresas son: La edad de los negocios, densidad de las poblaciones organizacionales y las características del entorno. Se concluyó que la sobrevivencia empresarial se encuentra condicionada por la antigüedad de la empresa, la experiencia del empresario en el sector, la densidad de la población, la competencia y la regulación establecida en el Estado de Quintana Roo, México.

30. Relationship between general CSR management practices and the development of internal social responsibility

Licandro, Oscar and Licandro, Oscar
- Abstract
Companies that embrace corporate social responsibility (CSR) tend to adopt certain general practices, such as: establishing social responsibility areas, preparing codes of ethics, publishing social or sustainability reports, joining organizations that promote social responsibility, or starting their own foundations. The question then arises as to whether these general practices actually influence the responsible behavior of companies. This article explores the relationship between the application of these general CSR practices and the level of development of internal social responsibility (ISR). To study this relationship, information was drawn from the system of CSR indicators (CSRI) overseen by the Cristian Association of Business Managers (Asociación Cristiana de Dirigentes de Empresas, a self-evaluation system in which Uruguayan companies participate annually. The CSRI uses 25 indicators to measure the level of ISR development and record the application of eight general CSR practices. After carrying out a review of the literature, the 25 indicators were organized into nine dimensions of ISR: employees’ human rights; informing employees about issues that affect them; occupational health and safety; internal environment; personal and professional development; employment protection; voluntary provision of benefits; union relations; and fair pay. After analyzing the statistical correlation between the application of general CSR practices and the level of development of social responsibility across the nine dimensions, the results indicate the following: three general practices positively correlate with the development of ISR in all its dimensions (including CSR in strategic planning, involving the management team in CSR issues, and joining an organization that promotes CSR); one practice (preparing a code of ethics) correlates with half of the dimensions; and the other four practices (publishing a social or sustainability report, assigning a full-time employee to CS

The number of companies that create management (high or middle) to lead Corporate Social Responsibility issues is growing. Despite the importance of this organizational innovation, there is a lack of evidence about whether these managements effectively contribute to the application of social responsibility. The objective of this document is to study this problem. It is studies whether companies with Social Responsibility Managers have more developed their social responsibility than those without them. A database of Uruguayan companies was used, which includes information on 107 practices related to the different dimensions of social responsibility and on the use of five management support tools (strategic planning, code of ethics, sustainability report, volunteering and intersectoral alliances). Through statistical tests, it was found that the application of responsibility differs in few aspects between companies with and without a manager. This result questions the usefulness of these managers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumen El objetivo de la investigación fue identificar las motivaciones de los voluntarios corporativos y analizar si las mismas dependen de factores personales o contextuales. A diferencia de la mayoría de las investigaciones sobre este tema, realizadas mediante cuestionarios estructurados, las motivaciones se estudiaron mediante preguntas abiertas. Se aplicó una encuesta auto-administrada a 185 voluntarios de 8 empresas que en Uruguay implementan programas de voluntariado corporativo. Los resultados ratificaron algunas de las conclusiones de investigaciones realizadas mediante preguntas cerradas, cuestionaron otras y aportaron evidencia sobre motivaciones no identificadas en ellas. Se encontró además que las motivaciones son independientes entre sí, que no se asocian con factores personales de los voluntarios y que se registran diferencias importantes entre voluntarios de distintas empresas. Abstract The objective of the research was to identify the motivations of corporate volunteers and analyze whether they depend on personal or contextual factors. Unlike most of the research on this topic, conducted through structured questionnaires, the motivations were studied through open-ended questions. A self-administered survey was applied to 185 volunteers from 8 companies that in Uruguay implement corporate volunteering programs. The results ratified some of the conclusions of the research carried out by closed-ended questions, questioned some others, and provided evidence on motivations not identified in them. It was also found that the motivations are independent of each other, that they are not associated with personal factors of the volunteers, and that significant differences are registered between volunteers from different companies. Resumo O objetivo da pesquisa foi identificar as motivações dos voluntários corporativos e analisar se eles dependem de fatores pessoais ou contextuais. Ao contrário da maioria das pesquisas sobre o tema, realizadas por meio de questionários estruturados, as motivações foram estudadas através de questões abertas. Uma pesquisa auto-administrada foi aplicada a 185 voluntários de 8 empresas que no Uruguay implementam programas de voluntariado corporativo. Os resultados ratificaram algumas das conclusões de investigações realizadas por questões fechadas, questionaram outras e forneceram evidências sobre motivações não identificadas nelas. Constatou-se também que as motivações são independentes umas das outras, que não estão associadas a fatores pessoais dos voluntários e registram-se diferenças importantes entre voluntários de diferentes empresas.

36. El aporte de la Teoría de la Economía Civil a la argumentación de la RSE

- Abstract
In spite the growing legitimacy of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), its theoretical argumentation presents great weaknesses. These weaknesses are explained, in part, because the argument is not based on a framework of economic theory, alternative to Neoclassical Economics, whose postulates and ideas support the main criticisms of the existence of CSR. The concept of CSR contradicts ideas such as: the end of the company consists exclusively on maximizing profits, the economic sphere is independent of the social sphere, the market is morally neutral, and economic relations are based exclusively in equivalent exchange without allowing reciprocity. This article argues that the school of Civil Economy provides a theoretical framework from which it is possible to respond to these criticisms and offer an argument for CSR based on its theories. The document was constructed using a bibliographic review and theoretical reflection by the author. It identifies five dimensions that characterize the concept of CSR. It then analyzes the neoclassical arguments that invalidate those dimensions. Finally, it presents the arguments from Civil Economy that legitimize., Pese a la creciente legitimidad que está adquiriendo la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE), la argumentación teórica de esa legitimidad presenta fuertes debilidades. Estas debilidades se explican, en parte, porque esa argumentación no está basada en un marco de teoría económica alternativo a la Economía Neoclásica, en cuyos postulados e ideas se apoyan las principales críticas a la existencia de la RSE. Para esta escuela el concepto de RSE entra en contradicción con ideas como la que el fin de la empresa consiste exclusivamente en la maximización de las ganancias, la esfera económica es independiente de la social, el mercado es moralmente neutro y que las relaciones económicas se basan exclusivamente en el intercambio de equivalentes sin dejar espacio para la reciprocidad. El presente artículo tiene la intención de argumentar que la escuela denominada «Economía Civil» aporta un marco teórico desde el cual es posible responder a esas críticas y ofrecer una argumentación de la RSE basada en esa teoría. El documento fue construido mediante revisión bibliográfica y reflexión teórica del autor. Se identifican cinco dimensiones que caracterizan el concepto de RSE, luego se analizan los argumentos neoclásicos que invalidan esas dimensiones y finalmente, se exponen los argumentos de la Economía Civil que los legitiman.

- Abstract
The 2015 UNESCO’s call for the conceptualization of Higher Education (HE) as a common good opens doors to a new perspective for the understanding and search of a solution to a set of problems stemming from its increasing privatization. For this call not to remain as a mere speech and be able to produce a real transforming impact, it needs to reflect on the theoretical and practical implications of this new way of conceptualizing HE. A new theoretical framework and practical tools need to be built so as to migrate from the current forms of HE governance, designed to manage a public good, towards the specific forms of governance of common goods. This document discusses UNESCO’s call as having a solid theoretical foundation, for which a bibliographical review on the theory of the common goods is performed, demonstrating that Higher Education can be, indeed, considered as such. This work reflects, also, on the impact of this re-conceptualization on the governance of HE and on the changes to be introduced to it. This work concludes suggesting that the theoretical and methodological framework of University Social Responsibility contributes a base on which to build those changes., A convocação da UNESCO de 2015 para conceitualizar o ensino superior como um bem comum abre as portas para uma nova perspectiva de entendimento e busca de uma solução para um conjunto de problemas decorrentes de sua crescente privatização.

É necessário construir um arcabouço teórico e ferramentas práticas que permitam migrar das atuais formas de governança do ES, projetadas para gerir um bem público, até as formas específicas de governança dos bens comuns. Neste documento, argumenta-se que a convocação da UNESCO tem uma sólida base teórica, para a qual é feita uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a teoria dos bens comuns e é demonstrado que o ES se qualifica para ser considerada como tal. Além disso, reflete sobre os impactos que essa re-conceitualização tem sobre a governança do ES e sobre as mudanças que precisam ser introduzidas no mesmo.

41. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IDEOLOGICAL PREJUDICES ABOUT PRIVATE ENTERPRISE AND CUSTOMERS' PERCEPTION OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: A STUDY IN PERU.

This work explores the impact of ideological biases about private enterprise as an economic actor on customers' perceptions of socially responsible behavior directed towards them, on an individual level. The aim is to answer the question: do these biases hinder or limit customers' ability to accurately perceive socially responsible behavior by their service providers towards them? Research on the relationship between perception of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and consumer behavior has generally focused on the impact of this perception on issues such as corporate reputation, brand image, propensity to purchase certain brands, or customer loyalty. However, little research has been done on whether such perception is influenced by negative ideological biases that exist in contemporary societies about private enterprise as an economic actor. To answer this question, information was gathered from a database resulting from a survey of a representative sample of citizens in Peru (n=1524). The survey was conducted through in-person interviews in the participants' homes. The questionnaire included eight indicators of CSR practices directed towards customers and two indicators of ideological biases. The first eight indicators were used to evaluate customers' perception of the 13 service companies in Peru. These companies belong to four sectors: banking (4), department stores (3), hypermarkets (3), and telecommunications (3). The first eight indicators refer to different aspects of social responsibility towards customers. The indicators of ideological biases evaluate the degree of agreement with the following statements: 1) this company influences the government to create laws only for its benefit and 2) this company is more interested in making money than in offering a good quality product or service. Both sets of indicators were measured using five-point Likert scales. Factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha were used to verify that the eight indicators represent a single dimension. Therefore, the construction of an index that measures the perception of CSR towards customers was validated, resulting from the combination of the eight indicators. Using ANOVA analysis, it was found that the correlation between perception of CSR towards customers and ideological biases is non-existent or very low. These results are important for companies because, if confirmed in further research, they would indicate that customers can identify their CSR practices towards them independently of their ideological biases about the company as an economic actor.

The literature analysis on Corporate Social Responsibility reveals that no consensus exists on the definition of this concept. Therefore, it becomes necessary to inquire whether the different ways of defining this concept exist in the education that students in management-related degree programs (such as administration, accounting, economics, marketing, etc.) receive. The importance of this issue arises from the fact that the theoretical education on Corporate Social Responsibility that these students receive will influence the attitude that the companies they will lead in the future adopt towards this important topic. The question can be answered from two different and complementary angles: by analyzing the content of the subjects' programs that include Corporate Social Responsibility or by studying how students in these degree programs interpret this concept. In this study, the second approach was chosen, studying the interpretation of university students in these degree programs in Latin American universities from 12 countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. A structured questionnaire was applied, which students self-completed through an online survey. The questionnaire contained a battery of 18 indicators on specific practices corresponding to three dimensions of social responsibility: internal, in the value chain, and towards the environment (community and environment). The way in which students interpret Corporate Social Responsibility was measured by their degree of agreement on whether these practices represent actions of Corporate Social Responsibility, for which a Likert scale was used. First, through factorial analysis and Cronbach's alpha, it was demonstrated that the indicators grouped into three factors, corresponding to each of the three dimensions. Then, through a test of difference in means, we analyzed whether a relationship exists between students' interpretation of social responsibility and a set of segmentation variables: country, gender, age, degree program they are taking, and other variables related to where they learned about this topic. We found that only a statistically significant difference exists in each of the three dimensions between students from different countries. Their opinion was independent of the other segmentation variables. These results suggest that the teaching of Corporate Social Responsibility presents important nuances between countries: some countries emphasize more than others the responsibilities towards employees, others focus more on the relationship with the environment, and others focus on the relationship of the company with the actors in its value chain.

45. El Voluntariado corporativo como práctica de responsabilidad social empresaria hacia los empleados y la comunidad

Licandro, Oscar Daniel and Licandro, Oscar Daniel
- Abstract
There is some consensus that the Corporate Volunteer (CV) has evolved from a philanthropic activity practice towards Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This consensus is based primarily on the fact that, generally, companies frame their activities and volunteer programs in the framework of their social actions, managed from their areas of CSR and inform on them in their social or sustainability reports. Since CSR is a business philosophy based on the management of impacts on stakeholders, all conceptualization of CV as a tool for CSR implementation requires associating their application with stakeholders on which seeks to generate positive impacts through it. The review of the literature on VC shows that this activity is associated almost exclusively with two stakeholders: the employees and the community. This article presents the preliminary results of a quantitative study that correlates the application of CV activities with the incorporation of CSR practices towards these stakeholders. To measure this incorporation a questionnaire designed based on the orientations of the ISO 26000 Social Responsibility guide was used. The questionnaire was applied to a group of 96 companies, performing one comparative analysis between companies that practice corporate volunteering and those who do not practice. The results obtained support the hypothesis that the application of corporate volunteering is positively associated with the incorporation of CSR policies towards both stakeholders., Existe cierto consenso acerca de que el Voluntariado Corporativo (VC) ha evolucionado de una práctica filantrópica hacia una actividad de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE). Este consenso se apoya principalmente en el hecho de que, por lo general, las empresas encuadran sus actividades y programas de voluntariado en el marco de sus acciones sociales, los gestionan desde sus áreas de RSE e informan sobre ellos en sus reportes sociales o de sustentabilidad. Dado que la RSE es una filosofía empresarial basada en la gestión de los impactos sobre los stakeholders, toda conceptualización del VC como herramienta de RSE requiere asociar su aplicación con los stakeholders sobre los que se procura generar impactos positivos mediante ella. La revisión de la literatura sobre VC pone de manifiesto que esta actividad se relaciona casi exclusivamente con dos stakeholders: los empleados y la comunidad. En este artículo se presentan los resultados preliminares de un estudio cuantitativo que correlaciona la aplicación de actividades de VC con la incorporación prácticas de RSE hacia estos stakeholders. Para medir esta incorporación se utilizó un cuestionario diseñado en base a las orientaciones de la guía ISO 26.000 de Responsabilidad Social. El cuestionario se aplicó a un conjunto de 96 empresas, realizándose una análisis comparativo entre las empresas que practican el voluntariado corporativo y las que no lo practican. Los resultados obtenidos permiten sostener la hipótesis de que la aplicación del voluntariado corporativo se asocia positivamente con la incorporación de políticas de RSE hacia ambos stakeholders.

- Abstract
[EN] The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the theoretical discussion on the best way to define Corporate Social Responsibility. The methodology used is a bibliographic review through a search for articles in different catalogues (Redalyc, Ebsco, JStor, SAGE, Science Direct, and Springer), focusing on articles that addressed the study of definitions of this concept. The different ways of defining it are identified and analysed in order to find a definition can encompass all the others. The paper also proposes that locating this concept at the level of management philosophy (and not simply as a desirable or expected behaviour) facilitates the construction of agreements around a consensual definition, unlike under the predominant behavioural approach of its conceptualisation as corporate behaviour. The paper concludes by proposing to define Corporate Social Responsibility as a management philosophy based on the responsible management of the company’s operational externalities on stakeholders, society, and the environment. It is concluded that this definition contributes to the theoretical discussion, strengthens empirical research, and improves the application of Corporate Social Responsibility in the corporate world.

- Abstract
[EN] Research work on the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility and financial performance has been going on for seven decades. Even when the prevailing studies are those that found a positive influence of social responsibility on financial performance, strong conclusive results are still unavailable. Some explanations for this situation are based, among other reasons, on the fact that the variables have a relation mediated by multiple factors. Additionally, it is still unknown whether the results obtained can be extrapolated to all types of companies since the majority of studies have focused on large companies listed on the stock exchange. This research studied how one of those factors (stakeholder satisfaction) mediated in companies of different sizes (including SMEs) and different types of companies (publicly listed companies or private ownership companies). A questionnaire was used, including indices relative to (1) the degree of development of the company’s social responsibility policies, (2) the changes in the satisfaction of four key stakeholders (employees, customers, suppliers, and shareholders) and financial performance (sales and profitability). Findings show the existence of a correlation between social responsibility and financial performance and also that such a relationship is mediated by the satisfaction of stakeholders. That relationship was also found to be independent of company sizes and the type of company This research work is intended to be a contribution towards that field of study, as it has detected a relationship between variables in medium-sized and private ownership companies.
