Abstract
How does government drive the corporate social responsibility of firms that supply it with goods and
services? This paper reviews relevant theory and practice to describe ways in which public procurement
shapes corporate social responsibility, and it builds upon theory to develop testable propositions
to describe these influences. Using the case of U.S. defense procurement, statistical analysis indicates a
significant relationship between the extent to which firms engage in defense procurement and the
corporate social responsibility orientations of their managers. The findings have application both for
social responsibility theory and for public procurement policy and practice.
