Abstract

This study explores Corporate Social responsibility (CSR) in Nigerian. It focuses on female entrepreneurs’ awareness of CSR related activities and drivers and barriers experienced when undertaking CSR. The study seeks to add to the growing body of knowledge on CSR in Nigeria by focusing on Nigerian female entrepreneurs. A mixed method approach was used in order to collect data involving the use of a face-to-face questionnaire survey with 181 female entrepreneurs in Lagos, Nigeria. In addition semi-structured interviews were conducted with 32 female entrepreneurs who took part in the survey. The finding shows that primary CSR drivers among Nigerian female entrepreneurs include ties and integration with local community, ethical, moral and personal values as well as religious and cultural beliefs. Female entrepreneurs cited factors such as monitoring cost, lack of efficient government and NGO institutions support and a lack of financial resources as major barriers affecting their firm’s ability to adopt CSR initiatives. The study makes an empirical contribution to the meagre literature in this area thus fills gaps in the literature on female entrepreneur CSR practices in Nigeria thereby providing a theoretical perspective on which future research and policy initiatives can be developed.
