Business studies have witnessed a growing interest in social responsibility practices of firms worldwide. While large companies have been the major target of such demands, small businesses have also been encouraged to practice social and environmental initiatives due to their significant aggregate impact on society. Nevertheless, studies of social responsibility (SR) have mainly focused on large companies and small businesses have been largely ignored in previous studies, specifically in emerging economies where small businesses play a very critical role in the success and development of their respective nations. Thus, to fill this research gap, the current study seeks to investigate the status of social responsibility practices among a number of Malaysian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and examine its influence on firm image.
