Universities and colleges must recognize that, in pursuit of their primary teaching and research

goals, they must also consider their obligation to society and the environment. However, a detailed

investigation of how faculties perceive their college/university social responsibility is still lacking.

This research investigates the perceptions of faculty members in business schools regarding

corporate social responsibility (CSR) endeavours. Gender, age, income, marital status, years of

experience and education are the demographic variables considered in the study. The study was

conducted among 298 faculty members from all over Nepal. The findings reveal that faculties

generally have favourable attitudes towards their university social responsibility initiatives.

At the same time, female faculty generally have more positive attitudes towards university

social responsibility initiaties in Nepal than their male counterparts. Furthermore, the results

demonstrate no significant difference in CSR perception among faculty members based on their

length of service, income, age, education and marital status. The insights gained in this chapter

shed light on how their staff perceive CSR within universities and colleges, offering a valuable

starting point for defining or re-evaluating strategies related to CSR in business school settings
