“…This research gap is even bigger when it comes to higher education (Weber et al, 2004), particularly in business studies (Arlow, 1991). Although a few studies have focused on patterns of managers and business students in relation to CSR (Longenecker, McKinney, & Moore, 1989;Stevens, 1984) …”

“…Although research on the relationship between social demographics and value structures can be found in the literature (Wang & Juslin, 2012), few studies have empirically analyzed the influence of the framework of human values on the perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the context of higher education (Rama, Ravenscroft, Wolcott, & Zlotkowski, 2000;Sobczak, Debucquet, & Havard, 2006;Weber, Weber, Sleeper, & Schneider, 2004;Weber & Glyptis, 2000;Wong, Long, & Elankumaran, 2010). Despite the scarcity of studies, consumer perception of CSR can be an important determinant of the success of CSR practices in any organization.…”

Consumer perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be directly influenced by individual value structures. This research aims to provide new knowledge regarding the relationship between basic human values and the public's perception of CSR. It focuses on the values of higher education students and their views regarding a particular corporate social initiative. The study reveals that social, educational, and economic circumstances influence human values. Those values in turn influence why different students perceive CSR differently. These findings are relevant to companies as they provide a more detailed understanding of why certain consumer groups perceive certain CSR initiatives the way that they do. They also suggest that universities should increase their awareness of the importance of integrating human values and CSR in the curricula of future business managers and social leaders.

“…Some of the pedagogical questions associated with the end-of-semester assessment were developed after reading the article ''Self-efficacy toward service, civic participation and the business student: Scale development and validation'' (Weber et al, 2004) as well as reviewing FurcoÕs (1996) service-learning assessment work. The Weber et al article presented the development and validation of a tool to assess global self-efficacy toward service and civic participation.…”

“…These two items aimed to evaluate whether the students felt more civically engaged and whether their level of social responsibility to the university or community had changed through engagement in the service-learning project. The next six questions (items 3-8) focused on the studentsÕ development of skills and competencies through their service-learning work (drawing from the self-efficacy instrument developed by Weber et al, 2004). Item 9 (i.e., I will include the Campus Kitchens project on my résumé.)…”

This empirical study reports the implementation and assessment of service learning in management education. Principles of Management students worked in teams to support Campus Kitchens, a national program affiliated with colleges and universities, in recovering surplus food and delivering it to community members. Student perceptions regarding civic engagement and social responsibility, application of skills, and professional development were assessed. Two complete cycles of implementation and assessment are chronicled. The sample size for Cycle 1 was 123 students and for Cycle 2 the sample size was 91 students. The authors describe how empirical as well as anecdotal data drove the changes made to improve the service-learning experience.

A need exists to better understand how racial/ethnic minority students' critical consciousness development in response to marginalization may be involved in their educational and career development. We therefore examined the link between critical consciousness development and career decision self‐efficacy and career outcome expectations among racial/ethnic minority community college students. Following social cognitive career theory's conceptual pillars, we developed a testable model integrating critical consciousness and social cognitive variables. This model was tested with 135 racially and ethnically diverse community college students. Data analysis included path analyses and tests of model fit using structural equation modeling. Results suggested that (a) higher critical agency is linked to higher career decision self‐efficacy and outcome expectations and (b) critical action and reflection have a bidirectional link and predict higher critical agency. Implications for research and practice aiming to close educational and career gaps among racial/ethnic minorities are discussed.
