Public Administration is often below the Social Responsibility literature radar, thus leaving an important gap. The purpose of this book is to fill this gap and boost research on the field of social responsibility of Public Administration. Public Administration has many roles in modern societies. From transparency of internal data and social performance reporting to digitalization, tackling climate change, enhancing economic growth, fostering institutions and mitigating inequality, we need a responsible Public Administration. This collection is an effort to clarify what we mean by social responsibility, why it is elusive in the literature, how we can measure it, and how much of it is applicable to public administration.
Divided into three logical sections, the contributions explore theory and provide sectoral analyses and country cases, including a global overview of social responsibility in public administration. With an emphasis on practice and case studies, this volume will be of interest to scholars and students in schools of public administration and business, and in courses of corporate social responsibility, sustainability, public management and ethics. This book provides a novel look at the basic ideas of Social Responsibility and three models for the social responsibility of public administration.
