| Title | Critical Analysis of Factors that Influence CSR Adoption in BP in Azerbaijan |
| Summary | Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a concept that suggests that commercial corporations have a duty of care to all of their stakeholders in all aspects of their business operations. CSR is quite a new trend in the developing countries and its adoption in multinational corporations operating in the developing world is not the same as it is in the developed world. A contributing factor to the success of CSR is the motivation and commitment of employees. Therefore, this study contributed to the research in the field of employees’ approach to CSR. This study is focused on employees in BP in Azerbaijan, especially on a specific target group from the departments of Communications and External Affairs and Health, Safety, Security and Environment because these departments are the ones which deal with CSR and environmental responsibility. The main research question was “What approach do BP/Azerbaijan employees take toward CSR and if they are willing to participate in its adoption in BP/Azerbaijan?” Research is mainly based on interviews with BP employees. As research shows, the majority of the interviewees had a negative approach toward CSR in BP and did not seem to be willing to participate in its adoption in BP/Azerbaijan voluntarily. Research shows that the majority of the interviewees are motivated only by self-interest at their work in BP and some of them are carrying out some socially useful activities voluntarily, but not within their work at BP. |
