Moral accountability: motives for corporate social responsibility

Abstract

Social well-being has been considered an institutional construct based on choices by economic and political concerns over how to alleviate disparities in production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. These choices may be based on moral, as well as economic, concerns. This seems to imply a sense of responsibility which may, but not necessarily, fall to corporate decision makers concerned with the workings of an economic market. These decision makers are driven by a variety of motives. My primary interest is in the components of human well-being, the design of institutions that seek to realise, among many goals, the notion of social responsibility, and what motivates these types of decision makers.
