摘要

研究目的。2019冠状病毒病大流行对企业实体的要求非常高,它们必须引入新的管理工具和方法,以保护员工的健康并保持公司活动的连续性。世界上大多数国家都实施了保护员工免受Covid-19大流行相关潜在风险的政策和指导方针。该研究旨在确定捷克和斯洛伐克公司在强调与COVID-19大流行相关的企业社会责任(简称:CSR)活动方面是否存在任何差异(以及这些差异是什么)。设计/方法论/方法。问卷由李克特量表组成,信度经Cronbach's Alpha(0.797)检验,发给外国跨国公司的子公司(补贴)(SK企业社会责任活动的先驱),这些公司是基于分层随机化选择的。我们获得了360家捷克和斯洛伐克公司的数据(180家来自捷克,180家来自SK)。我们使用非参数检验,即Mann-Whitney U检验来检验差异是否具有统计学意义。发现。我们发现,捷克和斯洛伐克公司之间只有一个因素存在统计学上的显著差异——额外的员工福利,其中包括,例如,在工作场所进行检测或自愿隔离并获得收入补偿等。与2019冠状病毒病大流行有关的其他企业社会责任活动在两国都以同样的重点开展。我们观察到,大多数公司都使用这些做法。然而,帮助社区和社会在某种程度上被大多数人忽视了。在这方面,我们认为更多地支持社区是很重要的,因为花在社区上的钱可能会以消费者购买的形式回来。原创性/价值/实际意义。与之前的作品一样,我们研究了SK和CZ之间的差异,这两个国家在很长一段时间内拥有相同的历史和文化。本文的独创性在于对两国与新冠疫情相关的企业社会责任实践进行调查。研究结果具有理论和实践意义。理论方面,因为它们有助于扩展有关企业社会责任的文献;实践方面,因为我们展示了样本中的组织及其管理层在多大程度上强调了为抗击和限制COVID-19大流行而采取的企业社会责任活动。

Investigation of CSR Activities Connected to Covid-19 in Czech and Slovak Businesses
Abstract Research Purpose. The COVID-19 pandemic was very demanding for business entities which have to introduce new managerial tools and approaches to protect the health of employees and maintained continuity in the company's activities. Most countries worldwide have implemented policies and guidelines that protect employees from potential risks related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The study aims at identifying if any difference exists (and what these differences are) between Czech and Slovak companies in the emphasis they pay to the corporate social responsibility (abbreviated: CSR) activities connected with the COVID-19 pandemic. Design / Methodology / Approach. A questionnaire composed of Likert scale statements, whose reliability was tested with Cronbach's Alpha (0.797), was sent to daughter companies (subsidies) of foreign multinationals (pioneers in CSR activities in SK), who were selected based on stratified randomisation. We obtained data from 360 Czech and Slovak companies (180 from CZ and 180 from SK). We tested whether the differences were statistically significant using a non-parametric test, namely the Mann-Whitney U test. Findings. We identified a statistically significant difference between Czech and Slovak companies only for one factor - extra employee benefits, which include, for example, the possibility to test at the workplace or take voluntary quarantine with income compensation, etc. Other CSR activities connected with the COVID-19 pandemic were realised with the same emphasis in both countries. We observe that most of the companies use these practices. However, assisting the communities and society is somewhat neglected by the majority of them. In this regard, we argue that it is important to support communities more as the money spent for it may come back in the form of purchases by consumers. Originality / Value / Practical implications. In the same vein as previous works, we studied the differences between SK and CZ, two countries which shared for a long time the same history and culture. The originality here is the investigation of CSR practices connected to COVID-19 in the two countries. Findings have theoretical and practical implications. Theoretical as they contribute to expanding the literature on CSR and practical as we present to what degree the organisations and their managements from the sample put emphasis on CSR activities adopted to fight and limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
