| dc.description.abstract | In the forward-thinking business environment, it is generally acknowledged that corporations are players that must adopt societal concerns and demonstrate responsibility while conducting their business ventures. This principle has been there for years. Nevertheless, it is recently that it has been started to be given the appropriate recognition by firms themselves and individuals in Ethiopia.The study aimed at studying the perspectives of hospitals and regulatory office leaders towards corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities of private hospitals in Addis Ababa.To investigate and identify the issues, a descriptive type of research was applied with a survey design. The study has been conducted on the basis of the quantitative research approach to assess the perspectivesof hospitals and regulatory authority office leaders about the practices of CSR in the selected 37 private hospitals. Primary data werecollectedthrough close ended questionnaire from 81 hospital managers and 36 respective regulatory office leaders using purposive sampling method, leaderswith two years and above service are included in the sample.The collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 20 Software.Generally, the major findingsof the study showed that regulatory office leaders’ perceptions toward CSR activities of private hospitals were significantly different from those of hospital leaders. Hospital leaders’ perceptions were more positive to their CSR activities than those of regulatory office leaders. However, both groups proved that environmental CSR practices of private hospitals were the least addressed. Consequently, the study recommends considering the growing importance of social responsibility in Ethiopia, private hospitals need to pay more attention to their environmental practicesin particular and their corporate social activities in general. | en_US |
