The purpose of this paper is
To look closely at the CSR issue and to
check if Lebanese firms are involved
in corporate social responsibility
![Page 7: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
DEFINING CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
A review of related literature reveals that the definition of CSR
remains a problematic issue
![Page 8: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
At one extreme Frankental believes that CSR
is ambiguous and indefinable term.,
which can mean any thing to anybody (Frankental, 2001).
![Page 9: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
At the other extreme We find
a motivational definitionthat argues that CSR is the fulfillment
of a firm's self-actualization needs (Tuzzolino and Armandi , 1981)
![Page 10: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The legitimacy of CSR relates to fundamental and crucial
questions as to why do corporations exist?
![Page 11: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Should corporations be concerned with social performance as well as economic results? If so, • what is meant to be “socially responsible”? •Should economic performance be sacrificed for social performance? •To whom does business owe
“responsibilities’? •What kinds of activities and programs should CSR include? • And to what extent should social
responsibility activities consume the company’s resources?
![Page 12: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Carroll (1979) suggested that corporations have four responsibilities to fulfill:
•Economic, •Legal,•Ethical, and •Philanthropic
![Page 13: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Ethical responsibilities derive their source of authority from religious convictions, moral traditions, and human rights commitments. Business’ social responsibility was to maximize profits, subject to the constraints of the law. (Carroll, 2001)
![Page 14: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Novak (1996) defined seven responsibilities. These are to: 1. Satisfy customers2. Earn a fair return on the funds entrusted to the corporation by its investors;3. Create new wealth, 4. Create and maintain new jobs;5. Giving people the sense that their economic conditions can improve;6. Promote innovation; and7. Diversify the economic interest of citizens so to prevent the domination of the majority.

The Effect of CSR
on Firm's Performance
![Page 16: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
previous empirical research has produced varied results
• Some studies have argued for a positive relation (Moskowitz, 1972; Parket & Eibert, 1975).
• Whereas others have concluded that CSR has negative effects
(Aupperle, Carroll, & Hatfield, 1985; Vance, 1975)

REVIEW OF BASIC CSR THEORIES IN FINANCIAL
ECONOMICS
![Page 18: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Property Rights Theory Rule
Business only has an economic responsibility to make a profit while
obeying the law.
It implies that devotion of corporate resources to social
causes is contrary to an implied contract with investors to maximize their
profits.
![Page 19: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Social Institution Theory
Public welfare is the primary concern
Firms should provide employment opportunities for everyone, improve the
environment, and promote worldwide justice even if it comes at the expense of
profits
![Page 20: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Contractual Theory of the Firm
A moderate and relatively recent view
which now dominates
the thinking in financial economics
and that of public law
![Page 21: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Company’s assets are provided by many groups
including shareholders, such as employees, customers, suppliers, and
the like, and so the company arises from the property
rights and the right of contract
of every corporate constituency, not just stockholders
![Page 22: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

KMO and Bartlett's Test
KMO measure of sampling adequacy (KMO = 0.650)
and the Bartlett test
of sphericity (B = 3608.464, p = .000) suggest that the data is suitable for
factor analysis

Factor extraction using oblique rotation
Returned a four-factor solution accounting for 81.906% of variance among the original twelve variables
two criteria were used:
1. Factor loading greater than 0.70,
2. Eigenvalues greater than 1.0

Factor 1 accounts for 30.5 %of the variance (Z4) could be called Environmental
Management. It includes high positive loadings for “My organization issue CSR report that include performance against benchmarks ” ; “My company adopted CSR environmental impact policy” and; “My company has environmental mission statement”
![Page 63: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Factor 2 accounts for 25.28 %of the variance (Z3) could be called TQM practices. It is
a bipolar factor which includes negative high loading for “My company regularly track the satisfaction and/or complaints of customers” and; high positive loadings for “My organization is involved in minority and women employment”
![Page 64: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Factor 3 accounts for 15.2 %of the variance (Z1) could be called Corporate Governance &
Organizational Policy.
It includes high positive loadings for “My company issue CSR Environmental report ”; “My organization issue CSR economic performance report”; “environmental guidelines for selecting suppliers”. And “My company uses employee performance appraisal systems that integrates compliance with code of conduct”
![Page 65: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Factor 4 accounts for 10.89 % of the variance (Z2) could be called code of conduct.
It is a bipolar factor which includes high negative loading for “My company has code of ethics”; high negative loading for; “our company has a system in place to handle employees grievances” and high positive loading for “My company implement code of ethics”.

Using factor scores and the dependent variable
“Indicate the percentage of your company’s total shares held by
ethical, sustainable, or socially
responsible investors.” , multiple regression analysis is
conducted
![Page 67: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
The results of the regression analysis
is highly significant (p = .000)
R2 = 0.948, indicates that almost all of the
variancein the data is accounted for
by the model

Conclusion
![Page 75: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
The true direct effect of Corporate Governance & Organizational Policy
on the percentage of company’s total shares held by ethical, sustainable,
or socially responsible investors is almost four times the simple relation
but the relation is decreased because of the indirect negative effects implying a more environmental concern

Suggested methodology to construct “CSR” Index
that aids in ranking countries
on “CSR” scale
![Page 77: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation In Lebanon: A Causal Recursive System Abdulrazzak Charbaji, Ph.D Professor of Applied Statistics and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649d995503460f94a83e0a/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
•Construct a valid instrument that can be used in measuring “CSR” •Use factor analysis to obtain factor scores for different dimensions underlying the “CSR”
Obtain a grand total “CSR” score for each country in standardized score
•Use median standardizedas an index to rank countries on “CSR” scale
