“…Finally, some studies explored other personal characteristics, including, for example, consumer commitment and intentions (Arli and Lasmono 2010;Carvalho et al 2010;Kolkailah et al 2012), and attitudes towards human rights and/or other ethical orientations (Pless and Maak 2009). Puncheva-Michelotti et al (2010), for example, explore how decisions to support the initiatives of socially responsible firms are influenced by their attributions concerning specific aspects of human rights. Using a sample of Russian and Bulgarian professionals, the results of this study suggest that participants were more willing to purchase, invest, seek employment and support socially responsible firms that exhibited greater acknowledgement of political rights.…”

“…Furthermore, as found by Chun (2009), perceived CSR was positively correlated with attitudes towards the environment and employees, with higher scores on conservatism and selftranscendence associated with higher environmental commitment. Furthermore, individual consumers regard firms that have active CSR initiatives more positively, and therefore the individual tends to hold positive orientations, attitudes and purchase intentions (Auger et al 2007;Puncheva-Michelotti et al 2010).…”

Given the rising interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) globally, its local expressions are as varied as they are increasingly visible in both developed and developing countries. This paper presents a multilevel review of the literature on CSR in developing countries and highlights the key differentiators and nuanced CSR-related considerations that qualify it as a distinctive field of study. This review entails a content analysis of 452 articles spanning two-and-a-half decades . Based on this comprehensive review, the authors identify the key differentiating attributes of the literature on CSR in developing countries in relation to depictions of how CSR is conceived or 'CSR Thinking' and depictions of how CSR is practiced and implemented or 'CSR Doing'. The authors synthesize from there five key themes that capture the main aspects of variation in this literature, namely: (1) complex institutional antecedents within the national business system (NBS); (2) complex macro-level antecedents outside the NBS; (3) the salience of multiple actors involved in formal and informal governance; (4) hybridized and other nuanced forms of CSR expressions; and (5) varied scope of developmental and detrimental CSR consequences. The paper concludes by accentuating how the nuanced forms of CSR in the developing world are invariably contextualized and locally shaped by multi-level factors and actors embedded within wider formal and informal governance systems.

“…Press freedom is critical to broadcast corporate irresponsibility and thereby to generate illegitimacy spillovers (Kostova and Zaheer, 1999) into the local context. Second, in countries characterized by strong press and speech freedoms, local stakeholders are more critical of and better informed about any wrongdoing (Baughn et al, 2007;Lattemann et al, 2009;Puncheva-Michelotti et al, 2010), which in turn reflects on firms' reputational capital and local survival. On these ground it is plausible to argue that BRIC firms will need to make extra-efforts to gain legitimacy in such contextse.g.…”

BRIC countries have generally gone through a process of liberalization and rapid economic growth that has allowed their major companies to acquire increasing weight in the global marketplace. However, they are still striving to achieve full legitimacy in the international arena. In a bid to close this legitimacy gap, BRIC firms are making efforts to align with the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) global norms of doing business, and recently have adopted a portfolio of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. In this paper we provide a deeper exploration into the factors that relate to BRIC firms' adoption of different types of CSR initiatives-i.e. social policies (philanthropic projects favoring different stakeholders), publication of CSR reports, adoption of GRI standards; adherence to and financial support for the UN Global Compact. We carry out an empirical analysis on 60 BRIC large public companies, and find support for the idea that different kinds of CSR initiatives may be subject to different pressures and may serve different legitimization strategies.

Business and Human Rights Scholarship in Social Issues in Management: An Analytical Review

Business and human rights (BHR) scholarship addresses whether corporations have human rights responsibilities and if so, what such responsibilities mean for corporate behaviour. BHR scholarship is cross-disciplinary and scattered across numerous academic disciplines such as law, philosophy, management, political science and accounting. While BHR scholarship in law is well established, this review focuses on BHR scholarship in the social issues in management (SIM) field, which – like BHR scholarship – addresses the nature and content of corporate responsibility. Based on a review of 180 articles from SIM speciality journals published between 1990 and 2017, the article suggests that BHR research has emerged as a subfield of study within SIM. BHR scholarship to date has largely focused on the justification for why firms have human rights responsibilities, and on descriptive research studies at the organizational and macro level. The article develops a conceptual framework for future BHR research which can usefully guide scholars – both SIM and non-SIM BHR scholars – in identifying potential research gaps and embedding their research in related focus areas.
