Abstract

This investigation aims at examining the relevance of contingent CSR practices by adopting Carroll's model as a conceptual framework, coupled with the contextual, cultural and intercultural analyzes of the Management of Organizations in Africa (MOA). The analysis of data collected from two Cameroonian logging companies reveals a perceived difference between employees working in the logging company located in the English-speaking part of the country and those working in that established in the French-speaking zone. Findings indicate Perceived Variations of Carroll's model in the Cameroonian logging sector. Although CSR is a common subject, its practices are not the same in these companies. This distinction is being observed in that English-speaking employees and other stakeholders are attached to legal and ethical values, unlike French-speaking people anchored in philanthropy. Theoretical and managerial implications are also developed, as well as shortcomings and future research avenues.
