Abstract

The field of corporate social responsibility has grown exponentially in the last decade. These practices have been configured as an area of interest among academics and researchers. However, most studies focus on larger organizations, with few studies focusing on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and more specifically in the field of family businesses. With these premises, this paper seeks to analyze wheth er there are differential social responsibility behavior between family business and not familiar business, and if they may be influenced by factors such as size, gender and level of formal studies. The results indicate that there are no major differences, though, and given the long - term vision of family business, they do incorporate social and environmental aspects in their strategy.
