CSR can be defined as a concept through which companies voluntarily take into account social and environmental interests at the stage of strategy building, as well as relations with various stakeholder groups.

In the area of economic benefits, social environment and environmental.ConclusionsSocial responsibility benefits not only the company itself and its direct beneficiaries, but also the economy and the environment. Responsible selling allows to build loyalty and trust of employees, and consequently supports sustainable economic development based on social participation and equitable distribution of national income.

 Agricultural companies that produce utilitarian products must prioritize corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts to uphold their reputation (Rep) and ensure long-term sustainability through superior performance. This study aims to examine the relationship between corporate responsibility and corporate financial and marketing performance, with differentiation strategy (Diff), firm size (FS), internationalization (Int), perceived external pressure (PEP), and altruism (Alt) acting as drivers of CSR initiatives. Employing a quantitative research approach, this study utilized the fuzzy inference system (FIS) to identify the predictive relationships between variables. Purposive sampling was employed to select five legally incorporated agricultural companies in East Java. The findings indicated that, at specific value thresholds, Diff, FS, Int, PEP, or Alt could serve as drivers of CSR efforts and were associated with corporate financial performance (CFP) and corporate marketing performance (CMP) from the perspectives of CSR, Rep, and PEP. The FIS output models, aligned with the proposed hypotheses, demonstrated that certain values of these input variables positively influence the direction of the output variables. Therefore, company policymakers should carefully consider the value levels of these variables and strive to maintain them to enhance CSR efforts and improve financial and marketing performance effectively. These factors were vital for the sustainability of agricultural companies in East Java.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Strategy for University Sustainable Competitive Advantage

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is generally presumed to be associated with companies in the full sense of the word, overlooking the important role of other institutions and organizations in achieving the objectives of the concept of CSR. This study's goal is to scientifically evaluate the link between corporate social responsibility and a university's sustainable competitive advantage. A conceptual model was created based on strategic corporate social innovation literature. The research was quantitative, and the variables were measured using the literature guide to build the research questionnaire. The analysis used structural equation modelling and the result revealed that Corporate Social Responsibility in relation to Customers or/and Students (CSRCS), Employees (CSRE), Government (CSRG) and Social stakeholders (CSRS) has a major impact on a university's sustained competitive advantage. Management and employees at universities can learn how to apply differentiation techniques to address community issues related to healthcare, economic, sociocultural, and environmental. For quality research and community outreach that better fulfill social needs, innovative, quality-based approaches must be developed. The study extends the existing literature by empirically validating the relationship between CSR and a university's sustainable comparative advantage.

Ethical Issues, Discrimination and Social Responsibility Related to HIV-Infected Patients

The aim of the present study was to assess the attitude of students attending 4th and 6th year of the Faculty of Dental Medicine in Iasi towards HIV-seropositive patients. A questionnaire was elaborated, containing 14 ethic statements related to some aspects they may encounter in their future career: the observance of confidentiality and the rights of HIV/AIDS infected patients, the refusal of dedicated treatment and the appreciation of discrimination in this situation. The results have identified some negative aspects regarding the above mentioned issues, mainly in terms of the refusal of specialized treatment. A percentage between 47.4% and 38.4% of the students strongly agreed to the affirmations according to which the risk of cross-infection and the lack of some safety conditions at work may be a reason for the refusal to provide dental treatment. The responses referring to discrimination suggest that there is a negative attitude towards the following aspects: the treatment of HIV-infected patients in different offices, the refusal to continue treatment after confirmation of the diagnosis, the refusal to cooperate with an infected colleague. Only 57.8% of the subjects considered the refusal of treatment as discrimination, with no statistical differences between the years of study. The results suggest both the need to modify the academic curriculum by introducing some ethics and medical legislation courses, and the adoption of a strategy for the increase of empathy and social responsibility in relation to this group of discriminated persons.

A Contemporary Approach to Managing Social Responsibility in Relation to Employees as Perceived in Academic Papers

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plays a significant role in Human Resource Management (HRM), especially when it comes to stipulating desired employee performance or behaviour, such as work performance, job satisfaction, organizational commitment or retention. However, the academic literature offers very fragmented or partial answers to questions addressing this issue, as many scholars focus exclusively on e.g. one-country or one-industry based sample only. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to summarize the current state-of-the-art trends in academic literature and thereafter, based on the findings, propose a broader contemporary conceptual approach to managing CSR in relation to employees. The results suggest a positive causal relationship between CSR and desirable employee behaviour, with job satisfaction often playing the function of a mediator. The findings also suggest that adding CSR to HRM practices could improve employees' work attitudes. In doing so, full compatibility with other concepts and principles across the organization is a premise.
