Natural disasters can generate millions of tons of debris and waste, which has an impact on the environment and poses direct risks to the health of the population, hence the need to analyze public policy and its consequences following the 2016 earthquake in Ecuador. Several in-depth interviews were conducted with individuals active in public service during the post-earthquake management period, together with fieldwork analysis of debris management and the institutional strategies for its recycling and reuse in three of the most affected cities: Pedernales, Portoviejo, and Manta. The environmental impact was examined, including its taxonomy of inconsistencies within public administration, alongside the processes of decentralization and shared decision-making. Similarly, the links between corporate social responsibility (CSR), public policy, and sustainability were analyzed at both the national and local level for their wider implications and ramifications. The study highlighted the gaps in the management of such a crisis, exposing a lack of ethics and the shortcomings of social (ir-)responsibility in the distorted processes of public welfare in the country, aspects that should rather work in concert to achieve full sustainable development.

Discussions about State Social Responsibility and Public Value are not recent. When linked to each other there is not an incremental theoretical sequence that shows the evolution of responsibility in public organizations. This essay aims to elaborate a framework for public administration, based on the Creating Shared Value (CSV). The use of CSV is justified because it allows the conceptual comparison between public and private perspectives. This framework was called State Creation of Shared Public Value and the operational structure of the CSV was maintained with the levels and the evaluation mechanism, but the original definitions were re-specified for the context of Public Value. The CSV based structure through levels and stages guarantees a gradual increase in the scope of benefits from public services that can be framed in the same perspective, with no restrictions of areas or segments for their use through Public Value.

The commitment of public employees to organisations is an imperative deliberation that affects the efficiency of public services organisations. The objective of this study is to investigate whether the social responsibility among local public administrators raises organisational commitment. This study subsequently explores the moderating role of citizenship behaviour and social bonding (permanent vs temporary employees) of public employees in the relationship between social responsibility and organisational commitment. In this study, empirical data are collected from local officials working in local public administration services organisations in Pakistan (n = 308). The statistical analysis is used to test the relationship between social responsibility and commitment and the moderating effect of citizenship behaviour and social bonding on social responsibility-organisational commitment relationship.The results show that social responsibility is a determinant to organisational commitment and citizenship behaviour and social bonding moderate the social responsibility-commitment relationship. The effect of social responsibility on organisational commitment is stronger in permanent public administrators having high perspective of organisational citizenship behaviours than in temporary public administrators having low perspective of organisational citizenship behaviours. This study contributes to knowledge of the effect of social responsibility on organisational commitment in local public employees and proves that citizenship behaviour and social bonding affect the social responsibility-commitment relationship in local public administrators.

Further development of consolidated democracy in the modern world involves the implementation of the concept of responsible, socially significant and law-compliant behaviour of public servants. This urges the issue of defining social responsibility as a qualitatively new performance indicator of public authorities in public discourse. The research aims at analysing the relevance of the use of social responsibility as a criterion for evaluating the work of public authorities. The relationship of the social responsibility and professionalism development processes is analysed from the angle of public administration, and their impact on ensuring the effective implementation of competencies by public authorities is determined. The article analyses professionalism styles, substantiates the reasonability of wider application of professionalism as a factor capable of ensuring the introduction of social responsibility by public authorities for the effective implementation of their competencies. The theoretical approaches of New Public Management and Good Governance for the development of a socially responsible approach in the work of public authorities are analysed. Emphasis is placed on the practical significance of Good Governance in ensuring the sustainable development of public sector organizations and their transparency as an important factor and consequence of the realization of social responsibility principles. It is concluded that the ongoing implementation of social responsibility approaches in the work of public authorities in the 10’s of the 21st century has been re-actualized.

The article aims to show that, currently, the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) shall not be associated solely with business, but has been successfully absorbed in public administration. Theoreticians' views as to the possibility (or even necessity) of applying the concept of social responsibility in public administration are confirmed by the activities of public administration institutions at the central level in Poland. The subjects of the study were manifestations of the implementation of the CSR concept on two levels: 1) policy planning (based on the example of selected key strategic documents in the field of development policy from the last decade) and 2) operational activities of public administration. The article analyses the database on Good CSR Practices of Public Administration, gathered at the forum of the Working Group on Corporate Social Responsibility of Public Administration, operating at the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy since 2018. The article also presents pioneering CSR reports published by three central public administrative institutions, whose representatives participated in the work of the group. The results of the analysis of the database and reports lead to the conclusion that, in Poland, the concept of CSR at the central administration level is implemented by institutions, although only occasionally reported. CSR should be considered an inherent part of modern public governance models constituting the paradigm of public administration activity.

The Implementation of CSR in Indonesia, most of them are not run in accordance with the existing theory because the government and society in CSR activities are not fully authorised to engage in these activities, due to the fact that private sector directly manages the CSR fund. Thus, the theory of governance puts three pillars as a principal provider of public service life, those are, (1) the state, (2) the civil society and (3) the private sector.  CSR has to involve all parts or elements which know about CSR, with a focus on the implementation of CSR has to be published and transparent;  the CSR Fund is administered by a forum / team through a memorandum of understanding facilitated by the government in accordance with its role as mandating, facilitating, partnering, and endorsing; the CSR forum consists of government, private sector, and society; the form of regional regulation on CSR by reference to Constitution Number 40 of 2007 on the Limited Liability Private sectors and Government Regulation Number 47 of 2012 on Corporate Social Responsibility so that CSR is considered as one of the important instruments in public administration.

The purpose of the paper is twofold. Firstly, to formulate a definition of University social responsibility (which takes into account social expectations towards this institution and its internal determinants as well). The final result of this research is the definition built on two concepts. On one hand, it is a stakeholder policy, on the other hand, a whistleblower policy. These are the criteria of responsibility, that is to say, rules which make the institution transparent and open to social criticism. Secondly, the article tends to establish whether a university in Poland (treated as a dominant institution of knowledge) is rightly seen as an irresponsible partner of civil society. Form the business ethics perspective the university is the more responsible, the more intensive are its relations with the social environment represented by stakeholders and whistleblowers. When they do not play their parts properly, the relations must be considered dysfunctional. Additional explanation of this problem is provided by the theory of management. In a use of the concept of the final customer, public opinion can find out if it—really—is the main interlocutor of the university. Social partners of this institution focus their attention on politicians and public administration taken as the alternative final customer of the academic product.
