With the rapid expansion of the sports sector, the expression of social responsibility in various business structures is also high. Although social responsibility factors are increasingly being applied in Western organizations, this is not yet the case in Lithuania and in companies. (Gižienė, Palekienė, Simanavičienė2011). The economically growing sports sector is becoming attractive not only to the public sector, which is pursuing national goals, but also to private business structures that see the potential for economic benefits from certain sports. In this way, leaders of sports organizations can use social responsibility initiatives as a tool to enable their organization to improve their strategic and financial position (Smith, Westerbeek, 2007). It is observed in the literature that not only the governing bodies but also the employees occupying another hierarchical position have an influence as a socially responsible organization (Sheth, Babiak, 2010). For organizations that want to succeed, the priority must be not only the financial situation, shareholders, sponsors, etc., but also the community, non-governmental organizations, because business must interact with its environment in order to be successful. (Juščius, Griauslytė, 2014). In order to be a socially responsible sports organization, it is necessary to understand in which areas of social responsibility the expression of the members belonging to the organization is most important. The question is: how do people, executives and athletes in sports organizations view the level of corporate social responsibility and what are their social responsibility priorities? The aim of the research: Determine the level of expression of social responsibility in terms of managers, athletes and employees. Objectives of the research: discuss the components of social responsibility in organizations; o analyze the theoretical aspects of the expression of social responsibility of organizations in sports organizations; to conduct a comparative analysis of the opinion of ...

Our aim in this study is to evaluate the corporate social responsibility practices of Koza Mining Operations from the perspective of institutional mechanisms, and to reveal the society-based nature, which was inadequate in previous studies that explain the concept in particular.In particular, the fact that the institutional environment is subject to insufficient scrutiny by researchers and the studies conducted so far mainly on the place of responsibility practices related to financial performance have caused the concept to be subject to limited research in the literature. The study was carried out through in-depth interviews and archive scans with company officials in three mining sites (Bergama, Balıkesir and Gümüşhane) where the highest number of administrative lawsuits were filed against Koza Mining Operations. The case study method was chosen among the qualitative research methods in the study. According to the findings obtained from the study, it was determined that the company uses its corporate social responsibility practices as a public relations policy to solve or eliminate local or national problems (corporate legitimacy crisis) in the region.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a phenomenon, persisting for several decades and involving not only care for the industry as higher profits, but the public interest as well. Foreign countries have already been developing CSR for a long time, but in Lithuania, as elsewhere in the Baltic countries, it is a relatively new phenomenon in the academic literature and still modestly implemented in Lithuanian companies. A few Lithuanian government organizations take care of the realization of this phenomenon, therefore, CSR integration is irregular in Lithuania. Moreover, CSR practices can be noted for their potential to build organizational trust. Organizational trust is very important to organizations as it helps to enhance the loyalty of employees as well as the quality and efficiency of the work and certainly the prestige of the corporation. Consequently, it could be argued that the use of CSR practices in an organization is one of the possibilities of creating organizational trust, which can increase the value of the business, development opportunities and enhance the company's competitiveness in the market in the long run. However, despite the growing interest and numerous discussions of this topic it is still not sufficiently analysed how CSR can reinforce organizational trust in practice. The Master thesis seeks answers how corporate social responsibility practices can strengthen interpersonal organizational trust. The interrelation is explored by using a case study of two foreign capital companies operating in Lithuania. The results reveal that CSR practice could affect the emotional / cognitive type of trust, and through it – allover organizational trust. However, most developing organizational trust is influenced by internal social responsibility practices that focus on the internal working environment. When employees satisfied with their working conditions, then they further strengthen the organizational trust, seeing that the company is socially responsible to the whole society, addressing environmental problems, properly communicating with customers, suppliers and other. The work consists of an introduction, three parts of the findings. The main work described in 65 pages of material, including 5 tables, 16 figures. It also contains three annexes. List of references consists of 80 sources

Bu çalışma 25-26 Nisan 2019 tarihinde Ankara'da düzenlenen "Fiscaoeconomia International Congress on Social Sciences", adlı kongrede sözlü olarak sunulmuş, ancak basılmamıştır. ; Gelecek kuşaklara daha iyi yaşanılabilir bir dünya bırakmak her bireyin olduğu gibi işletmelerin de üzerine düşen bir görevdir. Bu görev sosyal sorumluluk anlayışının bir gereğidir. Günümüzde işletmeler maksimum kara odaklandıklarından sosyal sorumluluklarını yerine getirme konusunda çelişkiye düşebilmektedir. Amaç, sadece maksimum kar elde etmek olmamalı, aynı zamanda çevrenin sürdürülebilirliğine katkı sağlamak olmalıdır. İşletmelerin finansal tablolarına baktığımızda çevre adına bir maliyet unsuruna çok az rastlanmaktadır. Çevre muhasebesi sisteminin uygulanması bu boşluğu dolduracaktır. Ve böylece işletmelerin çevreye yaptıkları yatırım maliyetleri finansal tablolarında yer almış olacaktır. Gelişmiş ülkelerde, örneğin Japonya ve İsveç'te çevre maliyetleri işletmelerin finansal tablolarında açıkça görülebilir. Bu çalışmada BİST Sürdürülebilirlik Endeksinde yer alan 63 işletmenin, sürdürülebilirlik, sosyal sorumluluk ve çevre faaliyetleri incelenmiştir. Ayrıca şirketlerin çevre maliyetlerini finansal tablolarında nasıl gösterdikleri incelenerek çevre muhasebesini uygulayıp uygulamadıkları değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda işletmelerin çevre muhasebesini uygulamadıkları, finansal raporlarında ve sürdürülebilirlik raporlarında çevre ile ilgili sayısal bilgilerden ziyade genel bilgilerin yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. ; Leaving a better livable world for future generations is a duty of businesses as well as every individual. This task is a requirement of social responsibility. Nowadays, as businesses focus on maximum profits, they may be in conflict with their social responsibilities. The aim should not only be to achieve maximum profit, but also to contribute to the sustainability of the environment. When we look at the financial statements of the enterprises, a cost element for the environment is very rare. The implementation of the environmental accounting system will fill this gap. And thus, the investment costs of the enterprises to the environment will be included in their financial statements. Indeveloped countries, for instance Japan and Sweden, environmental costs are clearly seen in the financial statements. In this study, were examined sustainability, social responsibility and environmental activities of 63 businesses in the BIST Sustainability Index. In addition, it is examined whether companies show environmental costs in their financial statements and whether they apply environmental accounting. As a result of the study, it was determined that enterprises do not apply environmental accounting, and general information rather than numerical information about environment is included in financial reports and sustainability reports.

In recent years, more and more has been talked about corporate social responsibility (CSR) not only in the U.S., the European Union, but also in Lithuania. It is an inevitable need in today's business. When the economic crisis began, organizations started looking for new ways to compete, and CSR is one of those ways, because it improves not only the organization's image, employee's loyalty and brand awareness, but also the efficiency and effectiveness. However, most companies only simulate the social responsibility by talking, rather than implementing long-term social responsibility strategies. On the other hand, the economic crisis prompted some companies to significantly reduce their level of responsibility. It is therefore important to determine whether a socially responsible company has implemented corporate social responsibility during the economic crisis and how it has changed during this period. The object of the research is corporate social responsibility. The tasks of the research: 1. To analyze the concept of corporate social responsibility. 2. To identify the determining factors of CSR. 3. To analyze the implementation of CSR models. 4. To analize the potential impact of the economic crisis for corporate social responsibility. 5. To analyze the level of empirical testing in Lithuania and foreign countries of the CSR in the context of economic crisis 6. To investigate how and why CSR practice has been changing during the economic crisis. Conducted empirical research results have showed that Swedbank's social responsibility has changed in time of the economic crisis. The economic crisis had a negative impact for Swedbank's social responsibility, because cost for social programs was reduced. So it had to stop additional additives for staff and training of staff, to fire some employees, to refuse support for some programs of society. Swedbank's social responsibility's changes were determined by serious economic situation of the country, inflation, labor market developments, economic slowdown and the overestimated market demand. However, the economic crisis has had a positive effect for social responsibility: the bank sensed its educational role, initiated a financial literacy education, increased creativity and ingenuity, appeared new ideas and forms of cooperation in Swedbank social field. The main work's material described in 70 pages, including 12 tables, 13 pictures.
