Abstract

The objective of the study was to determine the extent to which an organization is socially responsible. Studies describe the social responsibility of an organization based on how the organization engages the society in its projects. Across the firms, Apple and Walmart, each scoring 14%, emerged as the most socially responsible organizations while canon trailed behind by 4%. The regression analysis depicted the existence of a significant relationship between the variables. From the analysis, it is evident that the ethical behavior of an organization and a socially responsible organization has a positive significant relationship with how a firm performs in the market. Apparently, an increase in a firm's ethical behavior results to about 55.5% increment in a firm's performance.
