Research On The Driving Mechanism Of Social Responsibility Of Small And Medium Sized Scientific And Technological Enterprises

At present,it is inevitable for enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities.As a key component of the national economy,small and medium-sized enterprises must fulfill their social responsibilities and they are related to the harmonious development of regional economy and society.As the most dynamic and promising enterprises in small and medium-sized enterprises,the technology-based ones have been paid more attention to their social responsibility performance.Therefore,this paper takes the technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises as the research object,explores its social responsibility content,deeply analyzes the factors promoting its performance,and establishes the driving mechanism model.This paper firstly reviews and summarizes the research status of SMEs social responsibility,corporate social responsibility theory,corporate social responsibility drivers and social responsibility of technology-based enterprises.It is found that in the study of driving factors of corporate social responsibility,there is a lack of research on SMEs in science and technology.For the study of influencing factors,scholars focus on the net effect of single-factor impact,lacking of a holistic perspective on the mutual influence and effect between factors.However,the corporate social responsibility behaviors are complicated by multiple factors.The motives of different types of enterprises are various.Therefore,this paper uses multi-case study method to explore the factors that drive SMEs to fulfill their social responsibilities.By using qualitative comparative analysis and the configuration perspective,the paper tries to answer the causal relationship between the driving forces and social responsibility behaviors.Based on the case study of 12 technology-based small and medium sized enterprises,this paper concludes four factors promoting its social responsibility behavior,including customer dependence,executive ideal,employee dependency and technological iteration.Through qualitative comparative analysis(QCA),the author gets three types of CSR driving modes of technology-based SMEs: customer traction,executive-driven and ideal interaction.Among the impetus factors that promote enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities,the executive ideal and customer dependence are the core elements.Thus,from a theoretical point of view,the "dual core driving model" is constructed to better explain the dynamic mechanism of CSR in technology-based SMEs.
