Master Thesis in Economics: An empirical study on the attitudes of bank managers

A structured questionnaire was completed by middle level bank manager’s to test their attitudes towards the four dimensions of CSR proposed by Carroll (1979). The study found that bank managers ranked the economic dimensions as the most important responsibility followed by legal, philanthropic and ethical. Furthermore, Interviews were held with two senior bank managers to investigate the reasons why the order of priority differs from Carroll (1979) and Visser (2008) who adapted the priority of dimensions in developing countries. The study found that the political action is not only having an immense effect on the attitudes towards CSR but that it is also the main reason banks are motivated to practice CSR. The study also revealed that banks were mostly involved in philanthropic and charitable activities. By the end of this study, it is intended to highlight the fact that banks and government have different perceptions of CSR. As a result, it is recommended that banks align their CSR values and behaviour with the expectations of the government.  To consult more Economic essay sample, please see at: Bộ Luận Văn Thạc Sĩ Kinh tế
