Abstract:

Nowadays, socially responsible management is the response to constant changes taking place in the world. As a result of these changes, the role of organizations, which must take into account the effects of their business activities in the specific social and natural environment, is re-developing. The concept of CSR, combining sustainable principles of development with economic, environmental and social aspects, turns out to be useful in these activities. In all the EU countries, the MSME sector constitutes the most numerous group of business organizations. The main research problem of this article is to identify and assess the determinants of socially responsible management in the MSME sector. The research conducted in 2018 on a research sample of Polish MSMEs enabled the identification of the main  determinants of socially responsible management.
