Abstract

DUENAS OCAMPO, Sebastian; PERDOMO-ORTIZ, Jesús  and  VILLA CASTANO, Lida Esperanza. The concept of socially responsible consumption and its measurement. A review of the literature. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.132, pp.287-300. ISSN 0123-5923.

The concept of Socially Responsible Consumption (SRC) has an important tradition in the marketing literature, and recently in the corporate social responsibility. However, the complex and dynamic nature of the concept makes its measurement a topic for discussion. This article provides a review of the literature on SRC, comprehensively guided by the question of measurement. The methodology used from the review of the seminal articles to gradually limit the search to articles in high impact journals. We identified different stages in the measurement models, and highlight current debates on the role of corporate social responsibility, and the impact of socio-economic and cultural concepts on consumption.

Keywords : Socially responsible consumption; Measurement scales; Consumer behavior; Corporate social responsibility; Ethics of consumption.
