Abstract

Purpose This study aims to examine the determinants of retailer social responsibility (RSR) in Old Dhaka City and their impact on RSR practices. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional design was used to collect primary data from 180 retailers through a questionnaire survey. The study used partial least squares structural equation modeling to analyze the data and examine the relationships among the determinants of RSR. Findings The study found that economic and ethical factors positively and significantly affect RSR practices, while social and environmental factors negatively but not significantly affect RSR practices. Cultural factors were also found to positively and significantly affect RSR practices. Practical implications This study provides insights for retailers and policymakers to enhance their RSR practices by considering economic, ethical and cultural factors. The findings also contribute to the existing literature on stakeholder theory by highlighting the importance of considering multiple stakeholders in RSR practices. Originality/value This study provides insights into the determinants of RSR in a unique setting in associating stakeholder theory and in Bangladesh, which has received limited attention in the literature on RSR.

影响零售商社会责任的因素：孟加拉国背景下的PLS-SEM方法

目的本研究旨在检验老达卡市零售商社会责任（RSR）的决定因素及其对RSR实践的影响。设计/方法/方法采用横断面设计，通过问卷调查收集180家零售商的主要数据。该研究使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型来分析数据，并检验RSR决定因素之间的关系。研究发现，经济和伦理因素对RSR实践有积极和显著的影响，而社会和环境因素对RSR实践有消极但不显著的影响。文化因素也被发现对RSR实践有积极和显著的影响。实际含义本研究为零售商和政策制定者提供了见解，通过考虑经济、道德和文化因素来加强他们的RSR实践。研究结果还通过强调在RSR实践中考虑多个利益相关者的重要性，为现有的利益相关者理论文献做出了贡献。原创性/价值本研究在关联利益相关者理论的独特背景下，以及在孟加拉国，对RSR的决定因素提供了见解，孟加拉国在RSR文献中受到的关注有限。
