Abstract

Social responsibility and human capital aims to raise awareness and importance of socially responsible behavior by reducing the negative impacts on society or the environment. Therefore, the objective of the study is to analyze the variables that have the greatest influence at the level of CSR and human development. The methodological design was qualitative-quantitative, qualitative, when analyzing the six (6) dimensions presented by the ISO 26000 model as a reference and quantitative framework, since it was an instrument validated by experts. The study sample was of three hundred and eighty-four (384) workers. The scope of the research was correlational, since it established the hypothetical criteria according to each dimension (human rights, labor practices, environment, fair practices, self-improvement and active participation). It is concluded that the dimensions that positively influence the perception of human capital on the level of social responsibility are based on: offering quality of work to employees, having strategies for caring for the environment, keeping in mind the opinion of the consumer and the active participation with the community.
