<p>This article explains the empirical research results of the social responsibility performance measurement model for employees that is done by companies by using the NH Approach method. Social responsibility needs to be measured to see the effectiveness of the social responsibility done by a company, as well as to provide legitimacy for stakeholders regarding the company’s volunteer efforts in carrying out its responsibilities. The NH Approach is an integrated social responsibility measurement model that was developed based on the legitimacy theory and the stakeholder theory. An evaluation is conducted from two sides, from the stakeholder side as the recipient of social responsibility assistance, and the company management side as the social responsibility assistance provider.</p><p>The study used a research and development approach, where the respondents numbered 98 individuals with a response rate level of 92% (90 respondents who returned the questionnaires). From the 90 questionnaires submitted, only 62 of them were considered complete and analyzed.</p><p>The research results reveal that the practice of social responsibility that was done by the company has a grade of Unsatisfactory (C), because the social responsibility index has a score of 62.39. Several factors act as the triggers, including misunderstandings between parties in understanding social responsibility, underdeveloped social responsibility programs that have already been conducted, and limited social responsibility practice, so that the programs implemented cover various elements of social responsibility.</p>

Following the strike at Lonmin Plc. which led to the death of 34 miners and the wounding of 78 others on 16 August 2012, we evaluate whether the extent of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosures by South African mining companies, in total and per disclosure category, was affected by this event. Content analysis is used to measure the extent of CSR disclosures before and after the Marikana massacre in the integrated annual and stand-alone CSR reports of companies. CSR disclosure was not affected by the Marikana massacre. Our results suggest that the extent of CSR disclosure may be influenced by other factors than only the need by companies to gain or repair legitimacy in response to a legitimacy-threatening event. The only variable in our analysis that had a positive and significant association with CSR disclosure, in total and for each of the different CSR disclosure categories, is whether a company is a member of the Social Responsibility Index (SRI) or not. We use the Marikana massacre, which, following many prior research using legitimacy theory, should have an effect on disclosure, to consider whether legitimacy theory in isolation can be used to evaluate why companies make certain choices regarding the extent of their CSR disclosures.

El concepto de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) refleja hoy en día el resurgimiento de valores en la sociedad, además manifiesta la necesidad que tienen las empresas de involucrarse en la sociedad civil a través de sus iniciativas, no tan sólo como generadoras de proyectos aislados que las conecten con su entorno, sino integrándolas como parte de su estrategia empresarial. En este ensayo se presenta la herramienta Balance Social (BS), un tema que tiene sus orígenes en la RSE, modelo adoptado en Chile en el año 1975, desde la primera experiencia registrada en la Asociación Chilena de Seguridad (ACHS). La herramienta toma en cuenta los aspectos sociales que contempla una entidad hacia adentro, los denominados agentes internos, es decir los trabajadores en sus distintos niveles de la organización. Se darán a conocer modelos de Balance Social, por medio de análisis de su diseño e influencia a tomar en consideración y el tipo de empresa en que se aplique. El aporte de este ensayo, es dejar manifiesto que el Balance Social transformaría los tradicionales indicadores sociales que presentan algunas entidades en insumos reales, y a su vez serviría como una herramienta práctica para representar la RSE de una empresa. AbstractThe concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) today reflects the resurgence of values in society, also expressed the need for companies to engage in civil society through initiatives, not just as isolated projects that generate connection them to their environment but integrating them as part of their business strategy.

The tool takes into account the social aspects covered entity inward-called insiders, i.e., workers at different levels of the organization. They will be released models of Social Balance, through design analysis and influence to consider and type of business in which it applied. The contribution of this paper is to leave clear that the Social Balance transforms traditional social indicators that have some real input entities, and in turn serve as a practical tool to represent a company CSR.

The involvement of companies and people in the provision of services of general interest in structurally weak, demographically shrinking regions is becoming increasingly important. In addition to examining the social responsibility of companies under the term ‘corporate social responsibility’, this study also focuses on regional corporate engagement. Against the background of the known dilemmas in the area of civil societal engagement, in which fewer people are involved in structurally weak regions than in prospering regions, this book raises the question of whether this also applies to corporate engagement by focusing on whether companies are able to break through regional crisis cycles successfully while also fostering a positive influence on the development of the region. Using three case studies, the authors identify certain factors and obstacles in regional corporate engagement and evaluate the results of a company survey.

Purpose Using the global financial crisis as a critical event and based on institutional theory and stakeholder theory, this paper aims to explore the relationship between corporate governance and corporate social responsibility (CSR). The question is how stakeholders can influence corporate responses to societal change by using their position in the governance structure. Design/methodology/approach The analysis is based on a historical analysis of data collected mainly between 2002 and 2004. The historical perspective enables an understanding of the response of the company to environmental changes. Findings The approach enables researchers to relate the normative component of CSR to specific governance mechanisms. These governance mechanisms are specified in direct and indirect influence pathways. Historical data shed light on how, in the upbeat of the crisis, stakeholders have influenced the principles and policies of the ING Group, a Dutch financial company. Research limitations/implications The paper suggests that stakeholders influence principles – normative assumptions that guide corporate decisions – mainly in dialogue-based meetings (direct influence pathways). Companies are made accountable in indirect influence pathways such as regulations. The author also demonstrates that a historical approach enables an understanding of long-term historical developments and the linking of corporate policies to the normative assumptions of stakeholders. Practical implications If stakeholders wish to assess the social responsibility of a company, then they should assess the governance structure in relation to the principles and policies. The power structure within a company and that within the institutional framework in which the company operates (the governance system) strongly influences how a company executes its social responsibilities. Social implications The paper demonstrates how stakeholders can use the governance structure to influence a bank. If society – or a specific group in society – wants banks to play a different role, this paper points to what could be the levers of change in the governance system and the governance structure. Originality/value Insights into the complex relationship between corporate governance and the processes in which the social responsibilities of a company are developed.

Advertising plays an important role in narrating the social side of a company which is often referred to as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Corporate social campaigns are often seen as dubious, however, audiences as individuals interpret advertisements based on their values and experiences. TBSI (The Body Shop Indonesia) advertisements were conceptualized and analyzed using narrative transportation. Interviews are conducted with nine informants from various backgrounds. The results of the study are described in themes, namely (1) insight, (2) the relationship between CSR messages and the participant's value system, and (3) narrative responses to CSR advertisements. The result of the study states that advertising does not necessarily make the value from a social issue to be embedded or instilled in someone. Narrative and commitment to these values depend on the individual, person by person.

Economic goals regarding the company's efforts to maintain it’s existence, the company's social goals are expected to meet the desires of investors, employees, providers of factors of production and the wider community. Both of these goals support one another, the company will not be able to realize its social goals if the company has not been able to achieve the company's economic goals.

Since the CSR discourse has been widely discussed, the debate about the concept of CSR as an expression of moral responsibility and sensitivity to the social and environmental world has received resistance from some circles. The reason is that some people are trying to avoid CSR obligations. This paper talks about how the discourse and thinking about CSR struggles. Is CSR a voluntary activity for the company or is it an obligation (mandatory)? Then the authors describe the Indonesian context of CSR. And before the conclusion, the author tries to describe a case example of a CSR program run by a company in Indonesia and tries to analyze it from a human security perspective. As a result, from a human security perspective, the concept of CSR in Indonesia is still a problem. The cause, scholars are still trapped in efforts to formulate a detailed definition of CSR. As a result, practically the CSR program has not been seen as a humanitarian program. And it is still limited to a technical matter of fulfilling the company's procedural obligations.
