“…• the company's smoother social integration which shows its social responsibility (Koukoumbliakos et al, 2018) • the employees' flexibility and their behavior towards the company is improved (Aspridis et al, 2014) • acquiring an advantageous benefit for the company (Tiba et al, 2018) • improving the company's reputation • accessibility to the markets and • strengthening business finance (Fordham et al, 2017;Alhouti & D'Souza, 2018). Therefore, from the findings of the present study, in the case of the Greek company, and taking into account the special importance of CSR principles, it is proposed that the state adopt further legislative restrictions, thus motivating businesses to further implement CSR principles, as Farcane & Bureana (2015) and Smith & Pettigrew (2017) emphasized in their research. It is concluded that the regulatory framework might have to be further strengthened in Greece.…”

“…A variety of social media organizations have attacked many American-owned businesses due to either the size or the business' anti-social actions. Moreover, the financial crisis of that period was the reason why a lot of social groups were led to poverty and misery, while at the same time accelerating the need for corporate responsibility to society (Smith & Pettigrew, 2017).…”

The purpose of this study is to identify the link between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and organizational behavior with human resource management. The methodological tool used was based on bibliographic research in the analysis of texts and secondary sources. A literature review and a case study were carried out to study the topic. The literature review enabled the collection of secondary data. These data provide information for other researchers. The case study was conducted in a Greek company that operates throughout Greece in the catering industry and which has many branches. Through the case study, the researcher collected data on the dimensions of CSR and the company’s organizational behavior. The research question that will concern us refers to Corporate Social Responsibility and organizational behavior and whether they contribute to the evolution and development of human resources in companies. We assume that CSR and organizational behavior contribute significantly to the fuller utilization of business staff and we will try to verify this hypothesis. The research results showed a correlation between Corporate Social Responsibility, organizational behavior and human resources. They also showed that CSR is implemented to a satisfactory degree, while the levels of organizational behavior of employees in the company were also satisfactory. The above findings are considered important because they provide us with new data on the situation in the business world. At the same time, they lead us to the conclusion that it is necessary to strengthen CSR through actions aimed at creating a business culture that will contribute to the staff development and evolution.

“…Therefore, from the findings of the present study, in the case of Greek companies, the special importance of CSR does not seem to have been fully understood by them. The moderate levels of adoption of CSR by Greek companies, combined with the adoption of legislative and regulatory constraints as an additional binding incentive for companies to increase their CSR, which was highlighted in the studies of Farcane & Bureana (2015) and Smith & Pettigrew (2017), leads to the conclusion that, in the case of the Greek reality, the legislative and regulatory frameworks may need to be tightened. Thus, Greek companies are forced to increase their levels of CSR.…”

“…American companies began to be attacked by various social media groups because of their size and the anti-social practices they practiced. In addition, the economic crisis at that time, which led many social groups to impoverishment, accelerated the need for corporate responsibility towards society (Farcane & Bureana, 2015;Smith & Pettigrew, 2017).…”

The purpose of this study was the identification of the interconnectedness of corporate social responsibility (CSR) with human resource management. This is an issue that was studied, through literature review and through primary quantitative research. Through literature review, secondary data were collected. They are information that were presented by other researchers, scholars or academics. The primary quantitative research was based on a structured questionnaire which was distributed to Greek companies. The research sample consists of 200 Greek people that are occupied in a variety of job positions, of Greek companies. Through the questionnaire, the researcher collected data about four dimensions of CSR, of employees’ organizational commitment and of their job satisfaction. Research results showed that CSR is moderately implemented by Greek companies and also moderate are the levels of employees’ job satisfaction and organizational commitment. All the dimensions of CSR showed significant correlation with organizational commitment. In general, CSR is related with job satisfaction, but its two dimensions that were statistically significant correlated with all the dimensions of job satisfaction were CSR to social and non-social stakeholders and to employees. These two dimensions were the less implemented ones by Greek companies. The most implemented dimension of CSR was the one to government, which means that Greek companies are typical according to their obligations to the Greek state. Thus, they have to further emphasize on increasing the implementation of the other three dimensions of CSR, i.e., the CSR to social and non-social stakeholders, to customers and to employees.

This article charts the historical role of the corporation in society from antiquity to the present day. Using a broad temporal and transnational approach, it argues that social purpose has been a defining trait of the corporation since the concept of legal personhood first appeared in antiquity. The direct connection between incorporation and social purpose formally broke in the 19th century, when countries like the United Kingdom and United States introduced general incorporation laws. Yet many corporations continued to act positively on behalf of society on a voluntary basis, but even as they acted against the interests of workers, consumers, and the environment. This article demonstrates that concerns about corporate power have a long history, and that societies over time have designed a variety of legal systems and forms of corporate governance to address these concerns.
