Despite numerous efforts to bring about a clear and unbiased definition of CSR, there is still some confusion as to how CSR should be defined. In this paper five dimensions of CSR are developed through a content analysis of existing CSR definitions. Frequency counts are used to analyse how often these dimensions are invoked. The analysis shows that the existing definitions are to a large degree congruent. Thus it is concluded that the confusion is not so much about how CSR is defined, as about how CSR is socially constructed in a specific context.

“…al., 2008) and the multiplicity of codes within countries is increasing (Ofo, 2010). Moghalu (2011) argued that multiplicity of codes in a single country helps to satisfy different stakeholders, especially firms in different industries who may have different stakeholders that have peculiar needs/expectations that cannot be accommodated with a single 'one size fits all' code of corporate governance (Engle, 2007). Despite the case for multiple regulatory codes, it is still controversial in many ways.…”

Governance in Nigeria AbstractGiven the multiplicity of codes designed to regulate different stakeholders in terms of promoting good corporate governance, this paper examines areas of conflicts amongst the various codes and the associated implications for corporate governance practices and regulatory compliances by public listed Nigerian firms. Using the conflict-signalling theory for developing the conceptual framework, this study examines the proliferation of codes in Nigeria, through a mixed method approach to provide an exploratory account of the implications of corporate governance regulatory multiplicity. Evidence suggests the presence of conflict among the various codes which contributes to reduced compliance by firms and ineffective enforceability by regulatory agencies, which both impede good corporate governance in Nigeria. The findings advance conflict-signalling theory as an important framework for understanding the implications of the conflicts arising from the multiplicity of codes.Paper Type: Research paper.

“…To this end, we use variance analysis, which is considered a useful statistical test to determine whether significant differences exist between the values obtained by different groups, as observed by Zar [61]. In fact, variance analysis has been frequently used in previous studies [62]. We also perform multiple contrasts or post-hoc comparisons in order to identify the values that differ most among groups.…”

Promoting Sustainability Transparency in European Local Governments: An Empirical Analysis Based on Administrative Cultures

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Nowadays, the transparency of governments with respect to the sustainability of public services is a very interesting issue for stakeholders and academics. It has led to previous research and international organisations (EU, IMF, OECD, United Nations, IFAC, G-20, World Bank) to recommend promotion of the online dissemination of economic, social and environmental information. Based on previous studies about e-government and the influence of administrative cultures on governmental accountability, this paper seeks to identify political actions useful to improve the practices of transparency on economic, social and environmental sustainability in European local governments. We perform a comparative analysis of sustainability information published on the websites of 72 local governments in 10 European countries grouped into main three cultural contexts (Anglo-Saxon, Southern European and Nordic). Using international sustainability reporting guidelines, our results reveal significant differences in local government transparency in each context. The most transparent local governments are the Anglo-Saxon ones, followed by Southern European and Nordic governments. Based on individualized empirical results for each administrative style, our conclusions propose useful policy interventions to enhance sustainability transparency within each cultural tradition, such as development of legal rules on transparency and sustainability, tools to motivate local managers for online diffusion of sustainability information and analysis of information needs of stakeholders.
