Abstract:
A disconnect remains between theories about
responsible management and application in real-life organizations. Part
of reason is due to the complexity and holistic nature of the field, and
the fact that many of the benefits of aligning business objectives with
changing societal conditions are of an intangible nature. Human
resource management is an increasingly important part of the field with
benefits including talent retention, higher levels of motivation, and
improvements in organizational cohesion. This paper sets out an
experiment run at a large Spanish university to try analyze the impact
on worker productivity of a responsible management stance by an
employer. Based on the Corporate Social Performance model, the paper
examines the issue from the point of view of responsibility,
responsiveness, and outcomes, and considers the cost/benefit effect of
incorporating a social responsibility variable into the wage structure
to measure the impact on productivity.
