The Impact

Studies are being conducted to measure the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on different dimensions of performance of the firm. Therefore, it becomes imperative to measure CSR activities undertaken by the firms. The measures used to assess CSR range from quantitative to perceptual; hence, the study proposes to present an analytical profile of various methods used to measure CSR. The article reviews studies that span over the time period from the 1980s to 2016 to determine the relationship between CSR and performance of the firm. Various measures of CSR used in studies are broadly categorized as rating-based measures, financial measures, perceptual measures, and disclosure-based measures. The study revealed that perceptual and rating-based measures are the most commonly used measures. Also, it has been found that the operationalization of CSR using these two measures has been used in the studies that are conducted mainly in developed countries. However, disclosure of CSR and expenditure made on social responsibility can be more comprehensive measures as they are more objective in nature and are not influenced by the biases. Also, expenditure on CSR can be a useful measure while conducting a cost-benefit analysis of CSR activities performed by the organizations.

(1) Although numerous articles have been published to address the drivers or barriers of corporate social responsibility (CSR), some parts of the world have received less attention. In this study, I reviewed the literature from 2010 to 2021 to identify drivers and barriers of CSR in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and compare them with the findings in Western countries. (2) Methods: For this study, I used a structured literature review method. By setting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 28 articles remained from the selected database. (3) Results: The findings revealed that some CSR drivers, such as leadership styles, profitability, reputation, moral commitment, and environmental conservation, are common in both regions. There are also some differences between CSR drivers, for example, religious beliefs, low concentration of ownership, and company characteristics are some of the drivers in the MENA region. Maintaining social license to operate, and avoiding the risks of community opposition, pressure from the government, and consumer demand tend to be more important in Western countries. Common barriers in both regions are lack of financial resources, cost, lack of CSR knowledge and awareness, and ownership concentration. This review also highlighted that lack of law enforcement, lack of stakeholder communication, lack of management commitment, lack of interests, corruption, and financial debts are some of the barriers of CSR addressed in the MENA region, whereas cost/benefit ratio, lack of customer interest, and lack of scientific frameworks are special barriers in Western countries. (4) Conclusions: Although researchers in Western countries have more focus on the energy sector, there is a lack of research about the drivers and barriers of CSR in the MENA region in several industries, including oil and gas.

The society faces a period of changes that have occurred since the beginning of the crisis and revealing weaknesses in the economy. We become witnesses of rapid changes and challenges posed by globalization, lack of resources, demographic structure and innovation. Objective necessity becomes a corporate social responsibility (CSR) already at the companies’ level, which is supported by the approach of the EU institutions and the Slovak Republic. One of the possible appliance through which we can contribute to the sustainability of CSR are sustainable ergonomic programs. When we want to talk about sustainable ergonomic program is important to focus on three key areas. The first area is the Impact of technic and technology to employees at work, the second area is the Importance and impact of socially responsible HR in ergonomics and last area is the Creation of the work environment in relation to environmental sustainability. Ergonomic programs sustainability requires to apply appropriate methods for evaluation of their cost benefit and health effect.
