Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This paper intends to investigate the level of awareness and perception of the concept and practices of social responsibility in Portuguese companies from the perspective of the academic community. To respond to this it was elaborated a questionnaire, addressed to teaching and non-teaching staff and students, composed by 20 questions. The questionnaire was distributed by Google Doc's program, sent to all universities and polytechnics in Portugal, between 13 May 2015 and 5 June 2015, being obtained 143 responses. 77.6% of respondents consider that there are no initiatives to encourage companies to be socially responsible. The overwhelming majority of respondents (92.3%) believe that social responsibility is not well developed in Portugal. This is due largely to the current crisis that is going through, which ultimately also affect social entrepreneurship. The existing perception is that the concept of CSR is not very developed and spread within the various stakeholders of companies and even in academia. Despite the existence of some courses on CSR in Portugal, these should be placed within all educational levels and especially in higher education courses in the area of economics and management and related fields.
