Rola etosu w kształtowaniu działań społecznie odpowiedzialnych w świetle przeprowadzonych badań

Abstract

The subject of responsibility has lately become very important in the context of the economic crisis. In economy, it took the form of social responsibility. It concerns activities additionally undertaken by organizations in order to establish correct relations with their employees and society, as well as with regard to the natural environment.Therefore, a very important role is played by the ethos of the undertaken socially responsible actions. To a large extent it is reflected in the ethical dimension. Thus, in enterprises, codes of ethics have become a base of axiology in building of the organization cultures. Unfortunately, Polish companies -as shown in the paper -still attach a minor role to the ethical dimension of business.
