Abstract

This paper critically examines the practice of social responsibility among business organizations in Nigeria. The empirical work employs the use of questionnaires to elicit relevant information from forty staff members of the Redeemer's University, Ogun State, Nigeria. Four related hypotheses were formulated and subjected to statistical test, using the Chi-square statistical method. The result reveals that the attitude of business organizations towards corporate social responsibility still leaves much to be desired showing high level of relationship at 0.05 level of sig. It was further revealed that government is also not doing enough in imparting the culture of being socially responsible among business organizations. The paper suggested a more pragmatic approach toward social responsibility compliance among business organizations in Nigeria.
