THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK
 Objectives

1.construct a diagram representing

the theoretical framework of the
study.

8
 Theoretical Framework
This is developed based on existing theories and serves
as the foundation of the research study. It describes the
theories relevant to the research problem and the
position the researcher takes in the study.

9
 Theoretical Framework
The researcher mentions theories, including the authors'
names, titles of their theories, theoretical principles, and
explanations. The researcher may adopt the original
model developed by the cited theorist.

10
The following parts are mentioned in the theoretical
framework

1. Name of the author/s

2. Title of the theory/ies
3. Theoretical statements or principles
4. Explanation of the theoretical statement
5. Relationship of the theory to the present study

11
Identify the important contents of the
theoretical framework in the sample
research.

 The Level of Awareness of the Nature and
Importance of Various Programs on Corporate
Social Responsibility Among Food
Establishments (Cristobal & Montallana, 2016)

13
 This study is anchored on the theory of Bigg
(2004) and Friedman (1970). The business ethics
theory by Bigg is based on the wider social
obligation and the moral duty that business has
towards society.

14
 According to this theory, there are three (3) varied but
interrelated ethical grounds. These are changing and emerging
social responsiveness and social expectations to particular social
problems; external and intrinsic values that are inspired by ethics
and denoted by some normative and universal principles of social
justice, fairness, and human rights; corporate citizenship in which
a corporation or a business establishment contributes to social
well-being. In this theory, CSR is viewed as philanthropic and
ethical responsibilities rather than legal and economic
responsibilities.

15
 While the shareholder value theory by Friedman
(Freeman, 1984) argues that only the social responsibility of
a business is to develop its profit, it is believed by
economists that the corporation owners as its managers and
stakeholders as agents have a fiduciary duty to serve the
shareholders’ interest rather than any others. Thus, corporate
social obligations are regarded often as a strategic instrument
for the corporate competitive benefit and more profit gain.

16
 It is, therefore, noted that although the business
enterprise’s mission is to have profits, they should not forget
to give back to shareholders or clients the appropriate returns
not only on the quality of their products but also in some
other ways like attending to some obligations through the
different programs that will benefit the community they are
serving.
