Abstract

Summary Globalisation and technological advancement have blurred geographical boundaries resulting in increased immigrant entrepreneurship. Nevertheless, immigrant entrepreneurs face challenges resulting from different values, policies, institutional environment, culture, and perception of social responsibility (SR) in the new country. This paper focuses on one of these challenges, exploring whether the perceptions of social responsibility of immigrant entrepreneurs coming from less-developed countries are influenced by their home country contextual factors. It presents a contextual framework consisting of a number of propositions specifying the influence of home country contextual factors - culture, institutional environment, and level of socio-economic development - on shaping the perceptions of social responsibility of immigrant entrepreneurs. The paper further proposes that these factors are more likely to influence the social responsibility perceptions of mature-aged first-generation rather than young second-generation immigrant entrepreneurs.
