How Do Stakeholder Pressure Influence On CSR-Practices in Poland? The Construction Industry Case

Abstract

Many factors drive the construction industry's environmental influence. The stakeholder theory posits that stakeholder pressure is one of the most vital powers which determines CSR implementation and can provide organizations with the motivation to adopt corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy. The embedding of CSR within a specific sociocultural context suggests the importance of cultural setting for CSR studies. Therefore, this study aims to determine how stakeholder pressure and culture influence CSR-practices in Poland. To accomplish the goal of the study a sample composed of 216 cases was examined using a structural equation modeling method. The findings suggest that stakeholder pressure is the most substantial influence power on CSR-practices within the construction industry in Poland.
