Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) thought did not provide any distinct and precise definition of social responsibility in the area of workers' rights. As well as, this thought did not specify any characteristics of the activities, transactions, measures and procedures established, and adopted by the corporations to fulfill their commitment to the workers. As a result of this shortcoming, there is no any accurate classification of these activities, transactions, measures, and procedures that can contribute to understanding the dimensions of social responsibility in this area correctly. Therefore, as is well known, the intellectual inadequacy of any theory results in a confused understanding of the meaning of that theory. In fact, this is what the CSR thought is still suffering. As a result, it will be certain, the occurrence of misunderstandings and wrong practices" disclosing the corporate social performance in the field of human resources" about CSR in the area of workers' rights. In this study, all activities, transactions, measures, and procedures in force and expected to be followed by corporations to fulfill their commitment towards the rights of their workers were identified and classified in homogeneous groups" characterized by specific characteristics and common purposes ".
