Цель исследования. Целью этого систематического обзора является разработка общей рамки, которая применима для анализа корпоративной социальной ответственности (КСО) в развивающихся странах. Эта структура в дальнейшем применяется к переходной экономике на примере Казахстана.

Методология

Методология. Это исследование представляет собой систематический обзор существующей литературы по КСО в развивающихся странах, подчеркивая сходства, проблемы и возможности, которые формируют лицо КСО в этих странах.

Результаты исследования

Результаты исследования. Мы определили, что в большинстве существующих исследований упоминались препятствия на пути проведения исследования КСО и задокументированы такие факторы, как коррупция, слабая активность заинтересованных сторон и отсутствие государственного контроля в качестве основных препятствий. С другой стороны, существующие исследования показали, что религиозные традиции, историческое наследие, глобализация, давление заинтересованных сторон и растущее понимание преимуществ КСО для общества являются основными движущими силами исследований КСО.

Оригинальность / ценность исследования. Большинство существующих исследований направлено на развитые страны, и ограниченное количество исследований проводится в контексте развивающихся стран, которые характеризуются слабой институциональной средой и имеют другие социально-экономические факторы. Исследование добавляет ценность существующей литературе по КСО, развивая структуру, которая обобщает сходства, проблемы и возможности практик КСО в контексте развивающихся стран. В этом исследовании также разъясняется применимость концепции для стран с переходной экономикой, таких как Казахстан.

Purpose of research

Purpose of research. The aim of this systematic review is to develop a general framework which is applicable for analysis of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in developing economies. This framework is further applied to transitional economy such as Kazakhstan.

Methodology

Methodology. This study presents a systematic review of existing CSR literature on developing economies. The study used the content analysis approach and identified the relevant studies by searching the keywords. Based on existing literature, the study developed a general framework which summarizes mostly noted motives and limitations relevant for CSR discussion in the context of developing countries.

Originality / value

Originality / value. The most of existing studies aimed on developed countries and limited research is conducted in the context of developing countries that are characterised by weak institutional environment and have different socio-economic factors, compared to their counterparts. The study adds value to existing CSR literature by developing the framework which summarizes motives and limitations of CSR for developing countries.

Findings

Findings. We identified that most of existing studies have reported the barriers of undertaking CSR research and documented the factors such as corruption, weak stakeholder activism and lack of government controls as main constraints. On the other hand, existing studies reported that religious traditions, historical background, globalization, and government institutional voids are the main drivers of CSR studies. Subsequent application of the framework to Kazakhstan shows that these constraints and motives are also true for the country.
