DO UNDERGRADUATE BUSINESS STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY DIFFER BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND IRELAND?

摘要

This paper reports a study of students' attitudes toward corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the United States and Ireland. The study investigates differences in CSR attitudes among business and nonbusiness students in the United States and among business students in the United States compared to business students in Ireland. The findings indicate that business majors in the United States are least favorable towards CSR than non-business majors in the U.S. Additionally, business majors in the United States are least favorable towards CSR than business majors in Ireland. Gender continues to have a significant impact overall, but not when looking only at business majors.
