Abstract

The aim of this article is to investigate the corporate social responsibility actions of private educational institutions in Greece during the Covid-19 pandemic. Although educational organizations are usually recipients of social responsibility from other organizations and businesses, they proved that they themselves as members of the business world contribute to the local community when the needs demand it. Altruism and mutual aid dominated as key features of educational institutions in responding to the humanitarian crisis that developed at the time of the pandemic compared to previous years when the reasons for choosing such policies were mainly commercial. The survey also showed that the sample school organizations that opted for some kind of social responsibility doubled during the pandemic period. Thus, more and more educational organizations are willing to incorporate such acts in their strategy and policy in the future as they believe that the quality produced within their organizations increases. In the investigation of cost-effectiveness, the level of expenditure on CSR operations did not seem to influence the degree of effectiveness of school organizations. In summary, the educational organizations that participated in the survey demonstrated the readiness and willingness to contribute through acts of social responsibility to the social cracks revealed by the pandemic itself. Finally, this study funded by the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens in the context of investigating the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
