What is it about?

Why is it important?

Our findings offer important implications relating to the management of CSR internally within an organisation - especially in Industries that may potentially be challenged by various social and/or environmental impact issues and include: a) need for a balance between different types of internal ethical environments to best support socially responsible intentions; b) requirement for an effective monitoring program to understand employee ethical and moral values aiding potential alignment between employee and organisation.
