Comparative analysis Anglo Countries

Abstract

This chapter compares contextual factors and employer related CSR and non-CSR preferences of young job seekers in three Anglo countries: Australia, Ireland, and the United States of America (US). Country specific preferences are compared to the average preferences of the global sample, which includes all countries evaluated in this book. The results indicate higher concern by the Australian and the US sample for all areas of CSR when compared to the global sample. Moreover, while Australian respondents and, to a lesser degree US respondents attach a relatively high importance to attributes related to corporate socio-ecological responsibility and ethics and governance, Irish students value general workplace and company related attributes higher when making employment decisions.
