| Abstract | This study examines whether an individual's position in the organizational hierarchy affects his or her corporate social responsibility orientation (CSRO). It utilizes Archie Carroll's four-dimensional construct of corporate social responsibility to study 499 working individuals enrolled in seminar courses in five universities in the Eastern United States. They comprised 321 non-managers, 61 lower managers, 60 middle managers, 28 top managers. The results show that there are significant differences only between non-managers and mid-level managers along the economic dimension of CSRO. There were no significant differences among the four groups with respect to the legal, ethical and philanthropic dimensions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
