“…The COVID‐19 pandemic influences consumers’ pro‐environmental perceptions, attitudes and behavioural intentions (Kitz et al, 2021; Mi et al, 2021). Thus, future studies could consider CSR perceptions such as carewashing (Chatzidakis et al, 2020), coronawashing (Kurland et al, 2020; Vilchez, 2020) and expected CSR effort (Mi et al, 2018). The influence of the interaction between CSR perceptions and COV19‐QoL (Repišti et al, 2020) on consumers’ attitudes and behaviours may also be considered.…”

Using a novel approach to customers’ quality of life research, this study considers quality of life, not as a customer and societal consequence of organizations’ CSR activities as it is often considered in consumer studies, but as an antecedent of customers’ response to organizations’ CSR activities. Focussing on the CSR attribute of fit, this study developed and tested a model that proposes CSR‐fit’s indirect effect on customers’ advocacy through attitudinal loyalty, as moderated by customers’ self‐perception of quality of life. This relationship is investigated in commercial and microfinance banks, to cross‐validate the proposed relationships based on the distinct characteristics of both types of banks. Analysis of data from a Nigerian sample of bank customers reveals that quality of life negatively moderates the relationship between CSR‐fit, attitudinal loyalty and advocacy behaviours of commercial bank customers. For microfinance bank customers, the positive moderating effect of quality of life was only marginally significant. The theoretical and managerial implications of these findings are discussed alongside suggested directions for future studies.

Introduction. The defining feature of the normal functioning of social relations and the condition of sustainable dynamics of the country’s development is socially responsible behavior of the individual, business, state. In times of crisis, socio-economic processes become unstable, social risks increase and deepen. It is important to ensure the balance of social processes by reconciling the interests of economic entities and society, balancing social proportions and achieving certain priorities in order to prevent the accumulation of social distortions. In this aspect, the problem of social responsibility of economic entities through the formation of a favorable business environment is of particular importance. As a result, today it is important to study the process of corporate social responsibility as a tool of international corporate management in a crisis. Methods. The methodological basis of the research is a set of basic principles of management theory, crisis theory, as well as modern concepts of corporate governance. The solution of certain tasks was carried out using a set of general scientific research methods: analysis of scientific literature, logical-theoretical method (in establishing stages and approaches to social responsibility of business), method of analogy and comparison (in determining the scope and benefits of social responsibility), theoretical synthesis, classification, methodological generalization, systems analysis and synthesis (in the study of threats to sustainable business development in a crisis), expert assessments and scientific abstraction.The purpose of research is substantiation of approaches and stages of formation of social responsibility of business, assessment of business development in crisis conditions of fulfillment of goals of sustainable development, definition of macroeconomic problems and obstacles of international corporate governance and development of measures of systemic improvement of social responsibility of business entities.Results. It has been established that the theory of corporate social responsibility has gone through several stages: formation, business ethics and volunteering, enhanced links with sustainable development, motivational stage (environmental protection, environmental diversity and stakeholders), national institutionalization and the emergence of international standards. The approaches to the formation of social responsibility of business are singled out, in particular: the approach of corporate egoism, corporate altruism, social requirements, stakeholder approach and the approach of ethical duty. The development of business in crisis conditions of fulfillment of the goals of sustainable development, in particular in the conditions of pandemic and war, is estimated. Macroeconomic problems and obstacles to international corporate governance have been identified and measures to systematically improve the social responsibility of economic entities have been developed.Prospects. The prospect of further research is to focus on the problems of sustainable business development in the war and on the results of the implementation of social responsibility of business in the postwar period.

“…Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, in addition to the existing threats, a new threat caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has appeared in workplaces. Therefore, the employer is obliged to take actions aimed at limiting the risk related to exposure to this biological agent [3][4][5]. The purpose of the study is to assess occupational risk (taking into account aspects resulting from the pandemic situation), and then to assess safe and hygienic conditions during the pandemic among production employees.…”

Abstract. In recent times, the importance of occupational health and safety has escalated for modern enterprises. This shift can be attributed to the emergence of the COVID-19 virus, which compelled numerous businesses to adopt crisis management strategies and embrace remote work arrangements. It can be argued that the pandemic necessitated employers to implement suitable health and safety measures in order to sustain their operations in the labor market. The objective of this study is to evaluate occupational risks, considering the implications arising from the pandemic, and subsequently assess the provision of safe and hygienic conditions during this period. It is important to note that workplace hygiene requirements can vary based on the company, industry, and job role. Different work environments will entail distinct hygiene demands, and certain occupations or industries may even entail additional risks warranting extra protection. Hence, the assessment focused solely on production positions such as machine operators, fitters, quality inspectors, and warehouse workers.
