Přehled o publikaci

The aim of this publication is to familiarize general public, in a practical and theoretical way, with the general conception of social responsibility, including its anchoring in the context of permanent sustainability. Based on cientific approaches, the publication describes the development of a measuring tool called the „Social Responsibility Index ÉTA 2019“ (SREI) suitable for independent and controlled education of adults in their three roles: as employees or employers, as public servants and as individuals (citizens). The SREI questionnaire, as an essential component of the SREI is based on a self-assessment constructivist learning method. The operationalisation of the SREI index is based on the well-known concept of CSR with a value pillar (sustainability strategy) added to the three pillars traditionally being assessed (economic, social, environmental). The particular target groups are organizations (profit and non-profit), municipalities and individuals (citizens). The SREI index measures not only the knowledge of the social responsibility concept and the interest in it, but also its application in practice. The purpose of the publication is to show how social responsibility can be progressively understood in the ethical and sociological perspective and within philosophical and economic understanding of the concept of responsibility and sustainability; how to measure it in a new, compact and simple way; how to compare the results of individual entities or with the results of other indices; how to identify a path for further learning on the basis of obtained data.
