Abstract

This paper is framed within the stream of research that investigates the factors that explain corporate social responsibility and analyses the role played by the immediate area in which a company operates. Its purpose is to examine the impact of science and technology parks on the social responsibility of companies physically located in territorial agglomerations. Using reasoning derived from institutional theory, the study examines the effects of the sense of belonging to a park, the involvement of institutions with links to a park, and the know-how that exists within a park. An analysis of a sample of 239 companies in high tech sectors in Spanish science and technology parks showed that all three aspects have a significant positive influence on the implementation of corporate social responsibility, although know-how was proved to be of secondary importance compared to a sense of belonging and the role played by institutions interrelating with parks.

地域集聚与企业社会责任：科技园区的作用

本文是在一系列研究的框架内提出的，这些研究调查了解释企业社会责任的因素，并分析了企业经营的直接领域所扮演的角色。其目的是研究科技园区对实际位于领土聚集区的公司的社会责任的影响。该研究利用源自制度理论的推理，考察了对公园的归属感、与公园有联系的机构的参与以及公园内存在的专业知识的影响。对西班牙科技园区高科技部门239家公司样本的分析表明，这三个方面对企业社会责任的履行都有重大的积极影响，尽管与归属感和与园区相关的机构所发挥的作用相比，专业知识被证明是次要的。
