Study on Professors’ Perception With Respect to Higher Education Institutions’ Socially Responsible Initiatives

Abstract

The organization's socially responsible actions integration and stakeholders' demands is an increasingly encouraged practice by the market (Calabrese, Costa & Rosati, 2016). This article looks at the perception that the professor holds on the Higher Education Institution's (HEI) socially responsible initiatives. Thus, a descriptive quantitative approach with non-probabilistic sample, accessibility and convenience was developed. The literature outlined the corporate social responsibility's (CSR) main concepts, theories applications and stakeholders. Empirical research collected data from the HEI's professors, through closed questionnaires. Descriptive analysis and multivariate statistics (cluster and factorial analysis) provided empirical evidence to the research. Results show the high concordance of professors in relation to the analysis categories: Economic, Legal, Ethical and Philanthropic, all of which are considered in this study, according to Carroll (2011). The sharpest legal dimension is given to the professors' perception. Philanthropic responsibility showed the lowest agreement, coming out to the Carroll (2011) studies, which have supported this work.

University social responsibility: bibliometric analysis and research trends

“…A second approach focuses on teachers as fundamental actors within university processes and their perception of the application of CSR, concepts used by universities and the relationship with this concept in its global, national, and local dimension (Kim et al ., 2018; Stadler et al ., 2017).…”

The impact of teacher bonuses on student performance in full-time schools: The case of the Espírito Santo

“…There is a general agreement among several authors that teacher quality is an essential factor in the student's teaching-learning process, according to Kingdon and Teal (2007), Fryer (2013), Bellés-Obrero and Lombardi (2019) and Tavares and Ponczek (2019); and that their level of aptitude is often measured by the salary they earn (Sprietsma & Waltenberg, 2005;Dolton & Marcenaro-Gutierrez, 2011;Stadler et al, 2017). In this context, incentive payment for teachers has been adopted by several countries as a way to motivate them to improve student outcomes (Balch & Springer, 2015).…”

Absenteísmo Na Percepção Dos Docentes De Instituições De Ensino Públicas E Privadas

“…Entretanto, faz-se necessário investigar na literatura as diversidades do absenteísmo em escolas públicas e privadas em contextos diversos, junto com os antecedentes da intenção de absenteísmo nos diferentes níveis de ensino, como fundamental, médio e superior (OLIVEIRA et al, 2016;MGONJA, 2017;OST;SCHIMAN, 2017;STADLER et al, 2017). Além disso, torna-se importante ampliar os estudos também para a esfera privada de ensino, contribuindo assim para uma comparação dos resultados nos setores educacionais públicos (SHAPIRA-LISHCHINSKY; ISHAN, 2013;GUERRERO et al, 2013;SHAPIRA-LISHCHINSKY;RAFTAR-OZERY, 2016).…”
