“…Russian SMEs, however, appear to be a very different segment in this regard. These companies exist in a hostile regulatory environment and operate within a very short‐term planning horizon, and therefore, lack resources to engage in systematic CSR activities and hold a fragmented understanding of what is implied by CSR (Bataeva et al, 2018; Cheglakova et al, 2018; Savicheva, 2010). However, some SMEs do embrace the idea of responsible business, and their CSR efforts are guided by the personal values, beliefs, and attitudes of their owners.…”

“…However, some SMEs do embrace the idea of responsible business, and their CSR efforts are guided by the personal values, beliefs, and attitudes of their owners. In contrast to the aforementioned blue‐chip companies, they tend to view customers as the most important stakeholder group and consider CSR to be a way to establish stable and positive relationships with their clients (Bataeva et al, 2018; Cheglakova et al, 2018). Overall, these companies seem to fit the definition of CSR as a voluntary activity that goes beyond meeting legal obligations (Carroll & Shabana, 2010; Dahlsrud, 2008), even though a very limited number of them actually endorse CSR as a consistent strategic effort.…”

This paper adopts a multilevel approach to explore how socially responsible consumer behavior (SRCB) is shaped by a combination of micro-level psychological drivers and specifics of the institutional context in which the behavior is performed. The model first applies the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to test the effects of TPB-based behavioral predictors on the SRCB. Broad-scope trust in business (BST) is then applied to the model as a variable that characterizes quality of an informal institutional environment, hypothesizing that BST moderates the relationship between TPB-based behavioral antecedents and SRCB. The paper is based on a survey of 466 Russian consumers. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires completed by students and alumni of a large public university in Moscow. Results show that BST moderates the effects of TPB-based predictors on SRCB. This implies that consumers who believe that the business is overall trustworthy are more likely to take company's corporate social responsibility (CSR) into account when making purchasing decisions. This study contributes to the multilevel research on SRCB and CSR and adds to the literature on public trust in business as a nascent area of study. Its findings are especially relevant for companies operating in low-trust environments, including postsocialist economies.

Subject. The current decade has been recognised by the world community as “a decade of decisive actions” aimed at combating numerous social and environmental issues. Solving these problems is impossible without mobilising the efforts of the business community. In this regard, corporate social responsibility (CSR) becomes highly important as well as the issue of integrating its principles into business activities. Since the industrial sector is characterised by the most significant impact on the environment and the local community and involves substantial labour resources, the implementation of CSR by industrial enterprises is of particular interest. Purpose. An analysis and assessment of the prospects for the development of corporate social responsibility among industrial enterprises in the Voronezh Region. Methods. The study involved a quantitative strategy for collecting and analysing information. The empirical basis was data from a survey carried out at 30 industrial enterprises in the Voronezh Region. Results. The empirical study allowed shaping the big picture of how CSR is understood and implemented by industrial enterprises in the Voronezh Region in terms of: the composition of the main CSR programmes and addressees; international and national CSR standards used in the activities and the formation of internal institutions for the CSR development; the nature and forms of interaction between enterprises, the state, and non-profit organisations; and assessing the prospects and barriers to the development of CSR. Conclusions. The social responsibility of non-public regional industrial enterprises remains fragmentary. There is a gap between the actual CSR content, its understanding by the management personnel of enterprises, and the current implementation of social programmes in practice. All activities of industrial enterprises in the field of CSR continue their technical and technological processes or business processes. Enterprises pay little attention to non-production activities. Enterprises are not interested in disclosing information about their activities, reducing any adverse impact they have on the environment, contributing to the sustainability of the territories where they are located, and the formation of civil society. Businesses act as closed systems that exist outside society. In order to develop the CSR of regional industrial enterprises, a set of measures (financial and economic, organisational, informational, and educational) has been proposed, which ensures the relevance of the content of regional industrial policy.
