Big Companies have raised Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities in Turkey for ten years. Many small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) couldn’t activate their many CSR policies well-done because of the many reasons (financing, accounting, human resources, work places, cultures and others). The aim of this study is to identify the SME’s CSR efforts. The aim of this study is to identify and analyze the CSR efforts of SMEs in Nazilli. The research problem was: “Which CSR policies are done by SMEs?” The research area was undertaken at 40 firms in Nazilli. According to SPSS analysis, SMEs owner/managers and other managers play important roles to build CSR (workplace, environmental, marketplace and community relations) policies.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Türkiye’deki büyük işletmeler Kurumsal Sosyal Sorumluluk (KSS) faaliyetlerine son 10 yılda önem vermişlerdir. Buna karşın küçük ve orta ölçekli işletmeler (KOBİ), çeşitli nedenlerle (finansal, insan kaynakları, çalışma koşulları, kültür vb. sorunlar) sürdürülebilir bir çevre için KSS’nin önemli olduğunu fark etseler dahi hayata geçirmekte zorlanmaktadırlar. Bu araştırmanın amacı Nazilli’deki KOBİ’lerin KSS konusundaki durumlarını ve tutumlarını ortaya koyabilmektir. Araştırmanın sorunu, KOBİ’lerin kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk politikalarından hangilerini uyguladıklarını belirlemeye yöneliktir. Araştırma sahası Nazilli’deki 40 KOBİ’yi kapsamıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan SPSS analizlerine göre işletmelerin sahip/yöneticileri ve diğer yöneticileri işletme politikaları (çalışan, çevre, pazar ve toplumla ilişkileri)’nin belirlenmesinde önemli rol oynamaktadırlar.
