“…Micro, small and medium -sized enterprises in the Czech Republic have less knowledge of the CSR concept and lower involvement in all three pillars of the social responsibility, SMEs also less frequently formulated corporate culture, or the overall CSR strategy, into a written form. These results confirm and extend the findings by Skýpalová, Kučerová (2014). Even the sample of 696 companies from the Czech Republic proved the interdependence between the knowledge of the CSR concept and its use in business practice.…”

The paper presents results of the research conducted in the area of CSR in the Czech Republic in 2013/2014. We focussed on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Correlation between the size of the enterprise, awareness, commitment and the number of used CSR activities is evaluated. The paper follows the involvement of SMEs in specific activities within the social, economic and environmental pillars and suggests possibilities for further development of the National Action Plan (NAP) for SMEs. The results of the statistical analysis show that engagement of organizations in the CSR activities growths with the size of the organization. Only 30% of micro and small enterprises in the Czech Republic know and make use of the CSR concept comprehensively and are active in all three pillars of CSR. Approximately 30% are involved in only one pillar -mostly in the economic one. 30% do not apply the CSR concept within their business at all. SMEs are not sufficiently engaged in activities primarily in the environmental pillar and activities aiming towards outside the organization.

“…Also the results of the statistical testing of the dependence between the knowledge of the CSR concept and the number of implemented CSR activities indicate a high level of interdependence. This is also confi rmed by the research Skýpalová, Kučerová (2014). Organizations that were not familiar with the CSR concept were implementing a smaller extent of activities, and these activities were less sophisticated, in some cases, even in the frame that is required by the legislation.…”

“…The implementation of the CSR in the Czech Republic is still at a lower level when compared with other Western European countries. More than 50% of the organizations in the Czech Republic have not been confronted with the CSR concept (Skýpalová, Kučerová, 2014). According to Skýpalová, Kučerová (2014), the knowledge of the CSR concepts and methods has a signifi cant impact on the engagement of enterprises in particular CSR pillars.…”

KUČEROVÁ RENATA, SKÝPALOVÁ RENATA, BLAŠKOVÁ VERONIKA. 2015. Factors Infl uencing the Implementation of the CSR Concept in the Czech Republic. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 63(6): 1979Brunensis, 63(6): -1985 There is an increase of the companies' engagement in the concept of social responsibility in the Czech Republic. However, the engagement is still at a lower level when compared to other countries of Western Europe. The use and knowledge of the CSR concept in the companies in the Czech Republic was the subject of the research realized at the end of 2013 and in the fi rst half of 2014. This paper deals with the question which factors infl uence the engagement of enterprises in the CSR in the Czech Republic. The statistical testing proved that the company size and the form of ownership have a signifi cant infl uence on the company's engagement in the CSR activities. P-value is always < 0.001, Pearson coeffi cient is in the interval of 0.35 -0.37 and Cramer coeffi cient is in the interval of 0.37-0.39. The dependence between the category of economic activity and the region of the headquarters was not proved as signifi cant; p-value only < 0.05.
