Abstract

La falta de una teoria solida y ampliamente aceptada sobre la responsabilidad social de las empresas ha hecho que los lideres empresariales a menudo desconozcan, o duden, de la presencia de la responsabilidad social en el amplio espectro de practicas empresariales en las que se manifiesta. Dado que los estudiantes de licenciatura en programas relacionados con la gestion son los futuros lideres empresariales, es importante indagar en los conocimientos que tienen sobre este tema. Para ello, se selecciono una muestra de estudiantes de universidades de diez paises latinoamericanos de habla hispana: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Uruguay y Venezuela. Se utilizo un cuestionario estructurado para medir su conocimiento de 18 practicas de responsabilidad social representativas de tres dimensiones del concepto: responsabilidad interna, responsabilidad hacia los grupos de interes externos de la cadena de valor y responsabilidad hacia el medio ambiente. Se comprobo que existe un desconocimiento generalizado de las practicas empresariales que constituyen acciones de responsabilidad social, que algunas practicas son mas conocidas que otras (las mas conocidas son las relacionadas con el medio ambiente mientras que las menos conocidas son las relacionadas con los grupos de interes externos de la cadena de valor), y que el grado de este conocimiento depende del pais en el que se encuentren las universidades. Ademas, se comprobo que la relacion entre conocimientos y pais no esta mediada por el genero, la edad, la experiencia laboral, la carrera estudiada o el ano de estudio. Estos resultados sugieren que la ensenanza de la responsabilidad social en las universidades latinoamericanas no pone el mismo enfasis en todas las dimensiones del concepto, y que esta ensenanza difiere de un pais a otro.
