The role of social responsibility accounting in mitigating the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in Jordan

The purpose of this research was to determine whether or not social responsibility accounting plays a part in reducing the negative effects of the COVID-19 epidemic on Jordan’s economy. The study’s secondary objective was to investigate the COVID-19 pandemic that broke out in Jordan. It is vital to find adequate remedies, just as it is necessary in other nations, in order to avert the damage that this pandemic might cause to society, individuals, and the economy. The methodology of the study centered on utilizing both descriptive and inferential techniques to data collection and analysis. Participants in the survey were 861 branch managers working for Jordanian and international banks that were licensed to do business in the country. Each participant utilized the Purposive Sample Approach while completing one of the 500 questionnaires that were handed out. The research identified a number of conclusions, including the fact that there is a statistically significant role for social responsibility accounting (economic and social) in reducing the negative effects of the COVID-19 epidemic on Jordan’s economy. According to the findings of the study, economic and social responsibility accounting both play a part in reducing the impact of adverse economic conditions such as unemployment, budget deficits, and the risk of consumer credit. This study is one of the most important studies in terms of its scientific contribution at the level of Jordan as a Middle Eastern country, as well as for all countries around the world in the process of developing solutions and strategies to mitigate the economic and social consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the possibility of many future crises, whether as a result of wars or the emergence of new viruses. This study makes a contribution to the formation of research frameworks that researchers from all over the world can use to search for solutions to reduce the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the global economy as well as the spread of poverty and unemployment as a direct result of the pandemic. This research, which is also a scientific supplement, is intended for companies in all nations throughout the world in order to assist in mitigating the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.
