PurposeDrawing from the theory of how relevant items are processed in memory when making judgements, this study aims to test for recency effects between CSR advertising and related, negative news on how a company is perceived and the explanatory roles of environmentalism, attribution and both feelings and attitudes towards the advertising itself.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses between-subjects experimental design with pretests.FindingsOrder effects exist, which, when ads and news are similarly influential, evidence a recency effect. The process is explained by both the mediating influence of attribution of blame and the moderation of this influence by attitude towards the environment. Differences between the effectiveness of ads are explained by the mediating influence of attitudes towards and feelings about the ad together with the moderation of this influence by involvement in the ad context.Practical implicationsCorporate social responsibility (CSR) ads should be pretested in the context of related but negative news, and not just on their own, to ensure they can buffer such news. CSR ads can be more effective when following rather than preceding such news and should not be withdrawn if such a crisis occurs.Originality/valueThe research first attempts to explain recency effects theoretically from the influence of CSR ads on negative CSR-related news. It also shows the determining factors in how such effects influence consumers by considering attribution, environmentalism, attitude to the context and attitude and feelings towards CSR ads.

The present article tackles the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the educational field, from the perspective of the projects achieved in collaboration with the educational institutions and companies and projects focused on the improvement and updating the background of the school units. The necessity to implement projects in the field of education by private companies and public firms is justified by the existence of certain financial deficits in the educational system. The study of documents and of national and international specialised materials in the CSR field reveals the requirement to consult schools in establishing the action directions but also the involvement of the business environment in the adaptation of the educational programs to the needs of the labour market. By means of an inquiry-based questionnaire, applied online to a number of 50 representatives having different levels and profiles within educational institutions in the Western area, both from the rural and the urban environment, we have gathered examples of good practice in assuming the implementation of the social responsibility projects in the field of education, in the Western area of Romania.

Subject Outlook for corporate social responsibility. Significance Through regulation or incentives, the public sector encourages private companies to channel resources into programmes with a societal benefit. These programmes reflect the company's value system as a social actor and are encompassed under the umbrella of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Traditionally, the decision to initiate CSR was within the company's purview. This is changing, as legislation incentivises private companies to develop corporate social investment (CSI) programmes, bringing benefits above those directly associated with core business activities. CSI is the actualisation of the company's CSR. Impacts The growing number of companies engaged in CSR will need to be supported by advisory services and financial guidance. In developing countries, more programmes will empower women as economic drivers and not merely as assistance recipients. As CSR matures in developing countries, the stakeholders' scope of activities will broaden to include policy and governance. CSI may increase the fragmentation of efforts, as bilateral and multilateral coordination among companies will take time and resources.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be motivated either by instrumental, moral or obligatory factors. The paper aims to explore how these motives influence the level of CSR. Specific attention is paid to the CSR in state-owned and private companies, since their motives are significantly different. In order to examine these relationships, we applied a set of statistical techniques. The findings indicate that internal CSR is more developed if philanthropic motives are dominant. Also, CSR in general, internal CSR and responsibility to customers, are higher in state-owned companies, compared to the private ones. The contribution of the paper is reflected in the discovery of new insights, which are the basis for future research, but also useful for directing the activities of management in the field of CSR which is one of the key preconditions for sustainable business.

This paper examines aspects of corporate social responsibility that is the key element of effective corporate management strategy, including different social and economic programs that contribute to an increase in the level of business activity of the company and strengthening its relationship with society. The authors consider corporate social responsibility in Russian companies, and primarily the public companies. The authors carry out the comparative analysis of the practice of non-financial reporting in Russia and abroad, being fundamental for establishing the company’s contribution to social development. The authors also analyze the dynamics of the corporate social responsibility indices of Russian companies, including public companies. The study found that Russian companies are at the initial stage of corporate social responsibility development, and non-financial statements are published only by the largest private companies and state corporations. This process does not involve small and medium-sized businesses, as well as small companies with state or municipal ownership. Such circumstance significantly complicates the assessment of the level of corporate social responsibility in Russia, including the state entrepreneurship sector.
