Özet
The importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) increases each day for the firms due the CSR's positive impact to the performances of the firms. Therefore, this important subject is on the agenda of many firms. The main purpose of this paper is to depict the determinants of CSR based on the perceptions of top managers and directors of the large scale industrial firms in Turkey. The other purpose of this paper is to illustrate the relationships between variables of ethical firm behaviors such as fair behaviors, trust-based behaviors, cooperative behaviors and CSR. In order to achieve these objectives, in-depth interviews with the top managers and directors of the thirty-six large scale industrial firms are conducted. Structural equation modelling (SEM) is used to develop a valid model that shows us the determinants of CSR in Turkey. SEM is also used to show the relationships among the variables of organizational behaviors. As a result of SEM, it is found that top managers and directors believe that as the hierarchy in their firms increases CSR activities will also increase. It is also found that there is a positive correlation among the variables of organizational behaviors of industrial firms in Turkey. Although these correlations among the variables of organizational behaviors are low, they are statistically significant. In sum, this study tries to illustrate the perceptual map of top managers and directors about the determinants of CSR in Turkey.
