- Abstract
This study deals with applications of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a construct between companies located in Rio Grande do Norte. It focuses on behavior and decision-making in CSR, through the construction of the concept in the daily practices of the organization, taking as a reference the subjective views of managers and business people in organizations that were winners of the Prêmio SESI de Qualidade no Trabalho PSQT - SESI (PSQT - SESI Award for Quality at Work) in Rio Grande do Norte (2002-2007). Category content analysis was used, based on the interpretation of the data and on three approaches: Business Ethics, (normative); Business & Society (contractual); and Social Issues Management (strategic). The findings obtained were linked to: 1) the reasons for practicing CSR; 2) the results of taking part in the PSQT; and 3) the meanings attributed to CSR. There is a tendency for large and medium firms to adopt a contractual approach, while small and the micros firms tend to assume more strategic and normative approaches.
