Abstract

This study aims to contribute to the CSR literature in the context of developing countries by presentinga descriptive analysis of the award-winning CSR projects that have been carried out in Turkey. The sample of theresearch consists of the 28 projects awarded in three outstanding CSR contests in Turkey in 2017. The study usescontent analysis as the analysis method. The analyses examine project owners’ general profiles and the projects’orientations and organization. The findings demonstrate CSR projects in Turkey to have some characteristics consistent with the CSR literature regarding developing countries, as well as some significant differences. In this regard,while the effects of traditional philanthropy partially persist, religion, which has been identified as an indigenousfactor in developing countries, has not been found in any project. Furthermore, the findings show large national andmultinational companies to play active roles in the CSR field, the traditional concept of philanthropy in Turkey tohave been institutionalized within the scope of CSR, and CSR to have expanded to include sustainability and strategic CSR. The study makes a contribution to the literature on CSR practices within developing countries by revealingthe profile of CSR projects in Turkey and discussing the developments in CSR.

Özet

Bu çalışma Türkiye’de gerçekleştirilmiş olan ödüllü KSS projelerine ilişkin betimleyici bir analiz sunarak, gelişmekte olan ülkeler bağlamında KSS literatürüne katkı yapmayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemi 2017 yılında Türkiye’de önde gelen 3 KSS yarışmasında ödül kazanan yirmi sekiz projeden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada analiz yöntemi olarak içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Analizde proje sahiplerinin genel profili, projelerin yönelimi ve projelerin organizasyonu irdelenmiştir. Bulgular, Türkiye’deki KSS projelerinin, gelişmekte olan ülkelere ilişkin KSS yazını ile tutarlı bazı özelliklere sahip olduğunu, ancak bazı önemli farklılıklar da taşıdığını göstermektedir. Bu bağlamzda, geleneksel hayırseverliğin etkileri kısmen devam etmekle birlikte, gelişmekte olan ülkelerde yerel bir faktör olarak tanımlanan din faktörüne hiçbir projede vurgu yapılmadığı görülmüştür. Öte yandan, ulusal ve çok uluslu büyük şirketlerin KSS alanında aktif rol oynadığı anlaşılmaktadır. Türkiye’deki geleneksel hayırseverlik kavramı KSS kapsamında kurumsallaşmıştır ve KSS anlayışı sürdürülebilirlik ve stratejik KSS temalarını da içerecek şekilde genişlemektedir. Çalışma, Türkiye’deki KSS alanına ilişkin gelişmeleri tartışarak ve ödül almış projelerinin profilini ortaya çıkararak gelişmekte olan ülkelerdeki KSS uygulamaları yazınına katkı sağlamaktadır.
