Resumen

Las prácticas Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) se han configurado como un área de interés entre los académicos e investigadores. Sin embargo, la mayo r parte de estudios se centran en organizaciones de mayor dimensión, siendo escasos los trabajos centrados en las pequeñas y medianas empresas (Pymes) y más concretamente en el ámbito de las empresas familiares (EF). Con estas premisas, el presente trabajo trata de analizar si existen comportamientos diferenciales entre las Pymes familiares versus no familiares y como éstos pueden estar influidos por factores tales como el tamaño, el género y el nivel de estudios reglados. Los resultados señalan que no exis ten grandes diferencias, si bien, la visión a largo plazo de las EF hace que estas integren, en mayor medida, los aspectos sociales y ambientales en la estrategia.
