Abstract

There is an increase of the companies' engagement in the concept of social responsibility in the Czech Republic. However, the engagement is still at a lower level when compared to other countries of Western Europe. The use and knowledge of the CSR concept in the companies in the Czech Republic was the subject of the research realized at the end of 2013 and in the first half of 2014. This paper deals with the question which factors influence the engagement of enterprises in the CSR in the Czech Republic. The statistical testing proved that the company size and the form of ownership have a significant influence on the company's engagement in the CSR activities. P-value is always < 0.001, Pearson coefficient is in the interval of 0.35 - 0.37 and Cramer coefficient is in the interval of 0.37-0.39. The dependence between the category of economic activity and the region of the headquarters was not proved as significant; p-value only < 0.05.
