Ability And Willingness

Social responsibility suggests that an individual has responsibility to the community or society in terms of choices about behaviors. Moral responsibility implies a knowledge and understanding of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ and the ability and willingness to behave morally. These debates reflect the uncertainties about how moral and social responsibility can be conceptualized and promoted within modern societies. Adrift from moral certainties and wary of merely promoting dominant cultural norms, the role of moral reasoning and the ability to rationally choose between moral values is fore fronted, but leaves us with a concern that such choices may lack a coherent value base or ‘morality’. The debate leaves us with the question as to how we promote moral and social responsibility in young people as part of their learning in higher education in ways that promote moral reasoning but also develop values and ethical stances that go beyond, and can contest, the social norms of the times.

The Relationship

O contexto de debate da Responsabilidade Social (RS), apesar de bastante conhecido, apresenta vieses pouco abordados ou que emergem como suas ramificações, tal como a comunicação da RS. No que tange às universidades, a relação entre a divulgação das ações de responsabilidade social e o seu desempenho pode ainda não estar evidente. Desta forma, o problema de pesquisa que norteia este trabalho é: qual a relação entre a divulgação da responsabilidade social das universidades e o seu desempenho? Assim, objetivou-se analisar a relação entre o desempenho de universidades brasileiras e a divulgação da responsabilidade social em seus sítios eletrônicos. Para isso, foram selecionadas 17 universidades brasileiras presentes no World University Rankings 2015-2016 da Times Higher Education, e os dados foram coletados de seus websites utilizando os sete indicadores CSRIDOW, analisados a partir do coeficiente de correlação de Pearson. Como resultados, não houve significância na relação testada e não há suporte estatístico para apoiar a correlação entre o desempenho das universidades brasileiras e a divulgação de suas ações de responsabilidade social, corroborando estudos prévios. Palavras-chave: Universidades; Responsabilidade Social; Comunicação; Desempenho.ABSTRACTThe context of Social Responsibility (SR) debate, although well known, presents biases that are little addressed or emerge as its ramifications, such as the disclosure of the SR. With regard to universities, the relationship between disclosure of social responsibility actions and their performance may not yet be evident. Thus, the research problem that guides this work is: what is the relationship between the disclosure of the social responsibility of universities and their performance? Thus, the objective was to analyze the relationship between the performance of Brazilian universities and the disclosure of social responsibility on their websites. For this, 17 Brazilian universities were selected from the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2015-2016, and data were collected from their websites using the seven CSRIDOW indicators, analyzed from Pearson’s correlation coefficient. As a result, there was no significance in the relationship tested and there is no statistical support to support the correlation between the performance of Brazilian universities and the disclosure of their social responsibility actions, corroborating previous studies.Keywords: Universities; Social responsability; Communication; Performance.

Abstract Introduction: This article examines the first level of the European higher education system, namely the short-cycle higher education trainings related to the ISCED 5 whose Hungarian characteristics, and its historical changes were described. Methods: We examined participation rates among OECD countries. As there are large differences in the short-cycle higher education trainings in Europe, we have relied on data that makes the different systems comparable. Results and discussion: The interpretation, definition and practical orientation of the trainings varies from country to country, we presented the Hungarian form in connection with the results of international comparative studies and data. To understand the role of trainings, it is essential to get to know their history, especially because short-term higher educational trainings were transformed in several European countries. Conclusions: Prioritising or effacing the social-political role of short-cycle higher education trainings depending on the political orientation of the government and as a part of this, prioritising the disadvantaged regions instead of the disadvantaged students.

The emphasis on the social responsibility of higher education institutions emerged more systematically in the Post-Bologna European context. This paper presents an overview of a case study on a certificate in university social responsibility auditing, based on three European universities: Edimburgh, Kaunas and Porto. The goal is to develop an auditor training for students based on experiential learning, that is coherent and replicable in diverse contexts and that involves the various stakeholders. The project is based on a set of benchmarks of university social responsibility developed in the context of a European project, namely:  Research, Teaching, Support for Learning and Public Engagement; Governance; Environmental and Societal Sustainability; and Fair Practices. We will report on the initial data generated by the ESSA Project, in respect of student recruitment, baseline attitudes and the impact of participation in the training and the first audit.

Purpose: This paper examines and reflects the ongoing debate on the social responsibility role of Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) in the light of the literature in the area of third sector and three-sector economic model. Subsequently, it seeks to develop a framework that can be used to conceptualise the potential interaction between the different sectors in the economy in relation to social welfare issues and locate the social responsibility role of IFIs within this framework.    Methodology: The paper uses an integrative analysis of Islamic finance and third sector literature, particularly on the American and European conceptions of the interactions between the three main sectors in the economy, i.e. public, private and ‘third’ sectors. Results: The paper develops a modified circular flow of income and expenditure model as a basis for the integrative framework for social welfare provision within a three-sector economic model. Subsequently, it locates the social responsibility role of IFIs within this framework with the understanding that social welfare burden is a collective responsibility and therefore shared among the various potential welfare providers in the economy.  Implications: The integrative framework of social welfare provision within a three-sector economic model as conceptualised in this paper highlights a multi-institutional approach towards promoting socio-economic justice and society's well-being in an Islamic economy, and hence provides a proper and reasonable context for social responsibility roles expected of IFIs.
