Abstract:
The prime objective of the study is to identify the corporate social responsibility practices in private sector enterprises in Bangladesh. It further examines the impact of key company features on the level of social practices. For fulfilling the objective of the study, the data have been collected from the annual reports and working executives of the selected forty private organizations of Bangladesh. In collecting primary data printed developed questionnaire are used. The private sector enterprises' contributions in corporate social responsibility were measured by the fifteen-item social responsibility scale. The major finding of this study is that the private sector enterprises in Bangladesh employ a little money but expected to be responsible to the needs and expectations of the society. Selecting private sector enterprises through convenience sampling method might limit the generalizability of the results of current study. Future research directions are also discussed here.
