Abstract

Organisations are increasingly expected to respond to societal and environmental issues within their supply chains. The nuances of this expectation necessitate the consideration of the disparities in corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices within supply chains. Drawing on the stakeholder theory, this paper examines the meanings and influences on socially responsible purchasing (SRP) in supply chains. It adopts an interpretivist qualitative methodology, relying on data from semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with practitioners from multi-national and indigenous organisations in Nigeria. Our findings present a useful understanding of SRP based on the specific endogenous-level and exogenous-level influences. In particular, we develop an encompassing scope for SRP's meaning, outlining its key components, clarifying its boundaries and highlighting inconsistencies in its description. Our study provides a fresh understanding of SRP, with attendant contributions to the broad literature on CSR, corporate governance and supply chain management. It also offers insights to managers, purchasers, suppliers, financial analysts and policy-makers in embedding SRP.

供应链行业中的社会责任采购(SRP):含义和影响
人们越来越期望各组织在其供应链中应对社会和环境问题。这种期望的细微差别要求考虑供应链中企业社会责任(CSR)实践的差异。本文以利益相关者理论为基础,研究了供应链中社会责任采购(SRP)的含义和影响因素。本文采用解释主义定性方法,依靠与尼日利亚跨国公司和本土组织的从业人员进行半结构化、面对面访谈所获得的数据。我们的研究结果基于具体的内生层面和外生层面的影响因素,提出了对 SRP 的有益理解。特别是,我们为 SRP 的含义制定了一个全面的范围,概述了其关键组成部分,澄清了其边界,并强调了其描述中的不一致之处。我们的研究提供了对 SRP 的全新理解,从而为企业社会责任、公司治理和供应链管理方面的广泛文献做出了贡献。它还为管理人员、采购人员、供应商、金融分析师和政策制定者嵌入 SRP 提供了启示。
