摘要：This explorative study examines how managers and executive directors regard the ethical and social responsibility reputations of some selected companies and how this in turn influences their attitudes and behaviours towards corporate social responsibility (CSR) practises. Sixty (60) respondents were surveyed to evaluate how ethical and socially responsible they believed their companies to be, and their attitudes and ethics that shapes these practises. The results of this survey indicates that many managers and executive directors have clear understanding on the reputation and benefit corporate social responsibility brings to their respective companies. This company ethics overrides their personal ethics and intended behaviour towards CSR. The findings support the view in other research studies that the most important factor that influences a managers’ attitude towards CSR is the companies ethical values. That notwithstanding, this outcome deviates from government institutional guidelines for CSR practises in Ghana. The nature of CSR practises amongst the companies have been dominated by environmental dimensions with less emphasis on human resource development, and product safety within the past five years. It is recommended that firms establish measurable objectives and, where appropriate, targets for improved corporate social responsibility, including periodically reviewing the continuing relevance of these objectives. These are so general that it would be hard to show that any firm was not abiding by them.
