Abstract

The research study takes a look at the relationship between corporate social responsibility and some dimensions of organizational effectiveness of Nigerian Small and Medium Scale Enterprises. Data were collected by means of questionnaires administered to selected SMEs in Lagos state. The study generated sixty percent response rate from two hundred and nine SMEs existing for more than five years. Responses from the survey were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics, and product moment correlation. The results of the study indicated that Nigerian SMEs operators were actively involved in business ethics, urban and consumer affairs, but least involved in environmental affairs. The study showed that organizational effectiveness of the participating firms is to large extent satisfactory. However, the study concludes and recommends that the involvements in corporate social responsibility were found to correlate positively with organizational effectiveness and that the government should encourage the Nigerian SMEs investors in some aspects of corporate social responsibility and monitoring of SMEs environmental affairs.
