Abstract

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has drawn closer attention than before from both practitioners and academics in the past decades. This has given rise to a plethora of CSR studies published in academic journals. The richness in CSR publications in return makes it possible to rethink CSR research from a general sense to a specific angle. Through a thorough literature review, the themes of CSR studies in general were first identified. The subject of “CSR in construction” (C-CSR) was then examined by placing the general themes in the construction research area. To this end, research methods including content analysis and documentary analysis were adopted. The results indicate that C-CSR research has a couple of gaps concerning how to make it effective in practices. The agenda of C-CSR research is also discussed. Findings of the research identify a road towards a more systematic and specific C-CSR research in the future.
