Abstract:

The main aim of this study was to examine the possible impact of the dimensions of national culture on the corporate social responsibility activities of businesses. In order to reach the purpose of the research, data from sixty-two countries listed in the GLOBE Project and National Corporate Social Responsibility Index were used. IBM SPSS 22.0 was used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the correlation and regression analyzes, it was determined that there is a relationship between the dimensions of national culture and national corporate social responsibility, and that national culture affects CSR activities. It has been revealed that the variables of uncertainty avoidance, assertiveness, future orientation and collectivism II, which are sub-dimensions of national culture, have a statistically significant predictive effect on national corporate social responsibility. Other dimensions of national culture do not have a statistically significant effect.
