Abstract

Humankind requires social responsibility (SR) via its global bodies United Nations (in UN Global Compact) and International Standards Organization (in ISO 26000), for humankind to avoid global crises and extinction caused by Social irresponsibility (SI), resulting from un‐systemic behavior, i.e., over‐specialization and poor holism that interdisciplinary creative cooperation should replace, which pioneers of Systems Theory (Bertalanffy) and Cybernetics (Wiener) required and practiced several decades ago. Ports, providing logistic services, present potential SR or SI. The now‐a‐days technology causes more ports' SI than SR by waste, air, water, and land pollution. SI is nearly unavoidable, if process is not handled with systemic behavior (SB), including a (requisitely) holistic approach of any process participants. Authors present a stepwise regression statistical modeling research on a port, applying systems approach in a mathematical way, to study a chance of port's SB leading to SR rather than SI damaging local people. SR and SB are difficult to measure; they prevent problems and costs. SI causes measurable problems and costs to indirectly express (lacking) SR and SB.
