CSR Objectives and Public Institute Management in the Republic of Slovenia

Abstract

The main focus of this chapter is the manner in which some significant human rights are granted via managerial choices made in public institutions. While the phrase corporate social responsibility (CSR) generally refers to companies, the study suggests that CSR encompasses a broader range of groups, not only commercial enterprises. There is no official form of profit organization (i.e., corporation or company) in public institutions. These include establishments like elementary, grammar, and high schools; graduate and postgraduate schools (public universities); public hospitals (general hospitals and clinical centers); research centers; old people's homes or nursing homes; theaters; public radio and television; public health insurance and mandatory retirement insurance; and so on. Many human rights are addressed via the social services that are offered by government agencies. Bridging human rights with corporate social responsibility emphasizes the need for public institutions to make constructive contributions to society.
