The social, economic and environmental dimensions of corporate social responsibility: The role played by consumers and potential entrepreneurs

This paper investigates the influence of consumers' and entrepreneurs' perceptions on the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Based on Schwartz's human values theory, it develops a model to analyze the drivers of these perceptions across multicultural samples. The findings indicate that human values impact CSR perceptions, and consumer perceptions mediate the relationship with entrepreneurial views. This research offers valuable insights for firms to tailor CSR strategies to specific cultural and economic environments, aiming for vital social goals and economic advantages.
