Determinants and Motivations for Adopting Social Responsibility in Algerian Economic Institutions: An Applied Study

Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze the motivations and determinants that guide Algerian economic institutions toward adopting social responsibility practices. The study relied on a descriptive-analytical method, with data collected through a questionnaire distributed to a sample of 52 economic institutions. The study developed an explanatory model illustrating the impact of managers’ personal motivations, internal organizational motivations, and external pressures on the social behavior of the institution. The results revealed an increasing a wareness among Algerian institutions of the importance of social responsibility as a sustainability tool, with variations in the understanding of the concept.
