Abstrakty

W artykule podjęto problem skuteczności jednego z mechanizmów urzeczywistniania koncepcji społecznej odpowiedzialności organizacji. Chodzi o wpływ kodeksów dobrych praktyk (kodeksów etycznych), ustanawianych przez organizacje z krajów rozwiniętych dla swoich dostawców działających w państwach rozwijających się, na dobrobyt ich pracowników. W pracy zaprezentowano wyniki badań dotyczących przestrzegania tego typu kodeksów w Chinach. Omówiono także koncepcję społecznej odpowiedzialności organizacji oraz przytoczono argumenty pojawiające się w dyskusji nad celowością podejmowania przez organizację działań społecznie odpowiedzialnych. (abstrakt oryginalny)

Nowadays there are more and more people aware of a negative impact organizations have on society and natural environment. It is because this issue is often discussed in public. A range of books covering this topic were also published. They include the examples of managers breaking laws and moral norms. It has helped to understand how much power managers have and how often they use it not in accordance with common welfare. In organizations operating in developing countries there are a lot of negative practices. It also refers to companies that manufacture for organizations from well-developed countries. In order to establish good working conditions managers often introduce codes of ethics for their organizations' trade companies from developing countries. The article discusses problems related to an efficient implementation of the codes of ethics in business. It shows results from research on the code of ethics in China. Also, a conception of organizational social responsibility is examined and arguments against and in favour of the sense of its implementation are presented. The paper analyzes also the meaning of a notion related to organizational social responsibility, that is, corporate citizenship. The conclusion of the article is that the code of ethics does not improve welfare of workers in developing countries. (original abstract)
