Abstract
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) perspective has been embraced by various countries. This perspective directly affects the behavior of organizations in different countries. Environmental, cultural and employee related issues create a suitable platform for those countries which lack certain aspects of dealing with the related problems. This also creates a general perspective where managerial practices of organizations are redesigned in light of universal standards of CSR. From this standpoint, organizational response to CSR problems is driven by the universal standards. Nevertheless, specific dimensions of CSR may dominate managerial practices paving the way for different kinds of practices to be forefront in different countries. In this article, we investigate the CSR perspective of the chain hotels located in Istanbul, Turkey and explore related dimensions of CSR activities using content analysis technique. The results of the study indicate that chain hotels in Istanbul are more likely to use cultural dimension of CSR perspective and less likely to use environmental and economic dimensions when engaging with the CSR problems.
Keywords

Chinese Abstract
环境真的重要吗？企业社会责任对伊斯坦布尔连锁酒店的影响
企业社会责任（CSR）的观点已经被各国所接受，这一观点直接影响到各国企业的行为。与环境、文化和员工相关的问题为那些缺乏相关问题处理能力的国家创造了一个合适的平台。这也为企业创造了一个普遍的视角，在此视角下，组织的管理实践会依据企业社会责任的普遍标准重新进行设计。从这个角度来看，组织对企业社会责任问题的反应是由普遍标准驱动的。然而，企业社会责任的特定维度可能主导管理实践，为不同国家的不同实践铺平道路。本文以位于土耳其伊斯坦布尔的连锁酒店为研究对象，运用内容分析法对其企业社会责任观点进行了研究，并探讨了企业社会责任活动的相关维度。研究结果表明，伊斯坦布尔的连锁酒店在参与企业社会责任活动时，更多的考虑企业社会责任的文化维度，而较少使用环境和经济维度。
