Zusammenfassung: | For many years, research on the profitability of activities related to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been
conducted, where different results have been obtained. However, few is known about whether this relationship is maintained
over time, especially in developing economies.
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate if there is a relationship between CSR activities and the financial performance of
organizations, and if this relationship is maintained over time. In order to accomplish this goal, different statistical models
were employed to add robustness to the results Some of the statistical models employed were univariate tests and panel data
models.
Our results indicate that there is a positive relationship between CSR activities and the financial performance of the
company. Due to the time restriction, it is not possible to suggest that this relationship is maintained in the long term, but
only in the short and medium terms. These results could provide strong evidence that could foster managers of Mexican
companies to initiate or increase CSR activities.
Durante muchos años se ha realizado investigación sobre la rentabilidad de las actividades relacionadas con la
Responsabilidad Social Corporativa, con resultados diferentes. Sin embargo, poco se sabe sobre si esta relación se conserva
después de tiempo, sobre todo en las economías en desarrollo.
El fin de este trabajo es evaluar si hay una relación entre las actividades de RSC y el desempeño financiero de las
organizaciones, y si esta relación se conserva con el tiempo. Para lograr este objetivo, se emplearon diferentes modelos
estadísticos para añadir solidez a los resultados. Algunos de los modelos estadísticos usados fueron pruebas univariantes y
modelos de datos de panel.
Nuestros resultados indican que hay una relación positiva entre actividades de RSC y el desempeño financiero de la
compañía. Por las limitaciones en tiempo, no es posible sugerir que esta relación se mantiene en el largo plazo, sino sólo a
corto y mediano plazos. Estos resultados podrían brindar fuerte evidencia que pudiera alentar a los administradores de
compañías mexicanas a iniciar o incrementar las actividades de RSC. |
