THE THREE PILLARS OF INDIVIDUAL SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ACCORDING TO THE ETA INDEX 2019

Original language description

Introduction: Individual social responsibility (ISR) means the responsibility of an adult for all his/her decisions in every aspect of life. The term personal social responsibility (PSR) can be used as a synonym of it. The individual's decisions based on the knowledge that he/she is a member of the society should minimise the negative and maximise the positive impacts in the economic, social and environmental life context. According to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), ISR is the basis not only for the development of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), but also for the overall sustainability of the planet. The purpose is to determine the level of individual social responsibility within the individual pillars (economic, social and ecological) in total and separately for men and women in the Olomouc region. Methods: The H1 research hypothesis predicted the same results in the factual score for all three pillars, the H2 predicted that there would be no significant differences between the ISR of men and women. Field research was selected as the most appropriate approach; the data were collected by means of a questionnaire; description and comparison were selected as the method of analyzing data (sorting of the first and second level). The questionnaire was created as a self-awareness tool determining the social responsibility index in a simple numerical value according to the points achieved. In terms of ISR, it was modified by a conference of experts. Results: The H1 hypothesis was rejected as the factual gains in individual pillars showed a different value. In total, the economic pillar showed the factual point of 74.5%, the social pillar showed the factual point of 64.3%, and the lowest point gains (48.2%) have been identified within the environmental pillar. As the ISR level of both men and women cannot be described as significantly different, the H2 hypothesis has been adopted. Discussion: When not taking into account gender, the highest factual gains were achieved within the economic pillar in the ‘economic self-sufficiency’ subsection and within the social pillar in the ‘self-education’ subsection. Within the economic pillar, the results show that women promote regional products more than men, and men are more sensitive to the products and services of companies that do not behave socially responsibly. Within the social pillar, the biggest difference between men and women was indicated in the area of their participation in public life and charitable collections, where primarily participate women. Conclusion: The questionnaire is aimed not only at the data collection, but (in particular) at offering users a full range of possible ISR activities as well as educating them in ISR. The gap identified for individual pillars draws attention to the educational needs in the field of ISR and identifies the possibilities for further learning both in the form of self-education and formal and informal education.
