This paper centers on a case study of CSR performativity during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the extant CSR literature, CSR performativity has focused on “walking the talk” and/or “talking the walk,” wherein narrative and action around CSR are typically treated as two different things with their relationships questioned. We focus on what has been called “t(w)alking” wherein speech is understood to be performative and wherein speech acts and CSR are merged, becoming one and the same thing. Performativity then entails what is (and what is not) said, whereby CSR involves taking responsibility for speech and/or silences. Our thesis is that the COVID-19 pandemic led to the “presenting” of CSR as performativity, in the presence of Levinas' Other, as noble (speech) acts. We examine what became of CSR performativity in a for-profit medical services provider when the COVID-19 pandemic turned fatal for its main client group: the infirm elderly. The performativity of the statement: “The elderly and their carers must be protected” turned out to be crucial and set the stage for the provider's emergency action. Following on insights derived from Nietzsche and Levinas, and more specifically from their views on the particularity of ethical action, we find that CSR morphed into ethical performativity in the case study at hand. Against the backdrop of the views of these thinkers, the research potential of the performativity of “t(w)alking” in future CSR studies emerges and is critically discussed.

T(w)alking 责任:在 COVID-19 大流行期间的 CSR 执行性案例

本文以 COVID-19 大流行期间 CSR 执行力的案例研究为中心。在现有的企业社会责任文献中,企业社会责任的表现性集中在“言行一致”和/或“言行一致”,其中围绕企业社会责任的叙述和行动通常被视为两个不同的事物,它们的关系受到质疑。我们专注于所谓的“t(w)alking”,其中言语被理解为是表演性的,言语行为和企业社会责任融合在一起,成为一回事。然后,表演性需要说什么(什么不说),而企业社会责任涉及对说话和/或沉默负责。我们的论点是,COVID-19 大流行导致企业社会责任“呈现”为表演性,在列维纳斯的“他者”面前,作为高尚的(言语)行为。我们研究了一家营利性医疗服务提供商在 COVID-19 大流行对其主要客户群体(体弱多病的老年人)致命时,企业社会责任的表现如何。声明的表演性:“必须保护老年人及其照顾者”被证明是至关重要的,并为提供者的紧急行动奠定了基础。根据尼采和列维纳斯的见解,更具体地说,从他们对道德行为特殊性的观点出发,我们发现在手头的案例研究中,企业社会责任转变为道德执行性。在这些思想家的观点背景下,“t(w)alking”的表演性在未来企业社会责任研究中的研究潜力出现并受到批判性讨论。“必须保护老人及其照顾者”被证明是至关重要的,并为提供者的紧急行动奠定了基础。根据尼采和列维纳斯的见解,更具体地说,从他们对道德行为特殊性的观点出发,我们发现在手头的案例研究中,企业社会责任转变为道德执行性。在这些思想家的观点背景下,“t(w)alking”的表演性在未来企业社会责任研究中的研究潜力出现并受到批判性讨论。“必须保护老人及其照顾者”被证明是至关重要的,并为提供者的紧急行动奠定了基础。根据尼采和列维纳斯的见解,更具体地说,从他们对道德行为特殊性的观点出发,我们发现在手头的案例研究中,企业社会责任转变为道德执行性。在这些思想家的观点背景下,“t(w)alking”的表演性在未来企业社会责任研究中的研究潜力出现并受到批判性讨论。我们发现,在手头的案例研究中,企业社会责任转变为道德操守。在这些思想家的观点背景下,“t(w)alking”的表演性在未来企业社会责任研究中的研究潜力出现并受到批判性讨论。我们发现,在手头的案例研究中,企业社会责任转变为道德操守。在这些思想家的观点背景下,“t(w)alking”的表演性在未来企业社会责任研究中的研究潜力出现并受到批判性讨论。
