Abstract
Introduction. Achieving corporate social responsibility is one of the important tasks, taking into account the need to ensure sustainable development of the state and society. At the same time, the concept of social responsibility management is quite rare in scientific research. This testifies to the presence of an actual scientific problem of substantiation of the theoretical foundations of social responsibility management. Purpose. Substantiation of theoretical foundations of social responsibility management. Results. Elements of human capital have always been the subject of enterprise management. Initially, the concept of social responsibility related to the relations of owners of the company and society. Management of social responsibility was not relevant, the relevant decision was considered the prerogative of the owner of the enterprise. The development of social responsibility management took place partly within the framework of social management, the main object of management in which were the labor resources of the enterprise. However, the management of labor resources enters a conflict of interest with the management of social responsibility at the stage of integration of the enterprise into external socio-economic systems. This is a logical consequence of the struggle of internal motives, morals, customs of workers with the requirements of social responsibility. The achievement of a systematic approach to social responsibility depends on the establishment of certain ethical rules in the company that are related to achieving a balance between the interests of the entrepreneur, employees and society. Since there is no legal regulation of the relevant management activity, the harmonization of stakeholders' interests within the framework of social responsibility management can be carried out at different levels. It is important to adhere to international standards of social responsibility when building a system of social responsibility management. The advantage of existing standards is that they establish clear principles for managing social responsibility. Their main disadvantage is voluntary performance. Conclusion. The substantiation of the theoretical foundations of social responsibility management can be based on theories of social responsibility and on the basis of existing management theories. Within the framework of theories of social responsibility, the enterprise is considered as an element of the system for ensuring sustainable development of the state and society. Less attention is paid to the internal mechanisms of ensuring social responsibility. From the point of view of management theories, the sphere of social responsibility of the enterprise is the management of human resources. However, there is a significant amount of management tools and strategies that are not united by common strategic principles, the implementation of which goes beyond the management environment of the enterprise. Thus, social responsibility management as a separate type of management activity can be a unifying basis for different groups of theories and an effective tool for developing a social responsibility institute in Ukraine. The perspective direction of further research is the substantiation of methods of management of social responsibility.
