“…Its significant findings were that the concept of social responsibility could evoke a natural purging process in economically challenging times despite that this concept is relatively new in Slovakia. (Tokarčíková, Kucharčíková & Ďurišová, 2015). A study developed by Vennero (2011) created and tested a model for determining whether there is a relationship between higher education institutions that adopt social responsibility policies and student retention.…”

Implementing University Social Responsibility in the Caribbean: Perspectives of Internal Stakeholders

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

University Social Responsibility (USR) is the ethical and transparent management of the administrative, educational, cognitive and social processes carried out by a higher education institution. More and more universities are practicing USR not only in Latin America but also in the United States and Europe, in order to reduce the negative impacts their daily operations can have on different stakeholders and on a macro level on society, the economy, and the environment. However, despite existing knowledge in the implementation of USR in Latin America and the Caribbean, there are few empirical studies that analyze the positions of diverse internal stakeholders regarding USR practices mainly in the Caribbean. Therefore, this study analyzes the perspectives of the internal stakeholders in social responsibility initiatives and processes at a private university in Puerto Rico. A total of 533 participants (356 students, 99 administrative staff, and 78 faculty members) were interviewed and were given a questionnaire, which evaluated the following areas: responsible campus, professional and citizenship education, social knowledge management, and social participation. Overall, the internal stakeholders’ perceptions were consistent among the three groups. It can be observed that the various internal stakeholders are aware of what it means—in theory, and in practice—, to be a socially-responsible university, although they also recognize opportunities for improvement and future challenges regarding USR. The results of this study contribute to the literature, to the application of conceptual models—mainly from the perspectives of internal stakeholders—and to the importance of evaluating USR practices.

At the end of the experiment, within briefing about research results, students of both control and experimental group, as potential influencers of business life and corporate social responsibility (Binzberger, 2006;Tokarčíková et al, 2015), were also informed about the significance of responsible creation and use of spreadsheets.…”

This paper is prompted by and based on earlier research into developers' overconfidence as one of the main causes of spreadsheet errors. Similar to related research, the aim of the paper was to ascertain the existence of overconfidence, and then examine the possibility of its reduction by means of experimental treatment designed for the needs of the research. A quasi-experiment was conducted to this end, in which 62 students of the Faculty of Economics of the University of Novi Sad participated, divided into the experimental and control group. Participants of both groups developed domain free spreadsheets in two iterations each. After the first iterations, students in the experimental group were subjected to experimental treatment: they attended lectures on spreadsheet errors taxonomies supported by real-life examples, and about spreadsheet best practices in the area of spreadsheet error prevention. Results showed that spreadsheet developers who were informed about spreadsheet error taxonomies and spreadsheet best practices create more accurate spreadsheets and are less self-confident in terms of accuracy of their spreadsheets.

“…Whereas, Tokarčíková et al (2015) indicate the need to extend curricula in Slovakia by subjects related to CSR not only for students of economics, but also for students of other fields of study.They also suggest providing elements of CSR in the curricula for Information Technology students. They refer to examples of internal and external international cooperation within CSR and its popularization in Slovakia.Whereas, A. Barman (2011) emphasizes the significant role of teachers in spreading knowledge and preparing students to become socially aware individuals.Barman provides four main tasks of teachers (in particular at the faculty of management), directly related to corporate social responsibility:…”

Still three decades ago, the concept of CSR was no subject of interest for scientists in Poland and Croatia. However, today it has become the area of interest among academic circles, exceeding beyond businesscircles. Previously, the economies overwhelmed with neo-liberal ideology attached little importance to the issues promoted by CSR, e.g. environmental, ethical and social issues.Only the 2008+ crisis revealed the need to use the normative potential within the material infrastructure of CSR at all levels of business activity.Therefore, there was an opportunity to begin effective social dialogue.More and more universities
