Corporate Social Responsibility in Health Organizations: Scoping Review

Purpose: This paper expects to give a scoping review of the published articles on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in health organizations. In addition, it evaluates the primary limitations identified in previous studies and detects suggestions for future research on CSR in other health organizations. Design/methodology/approach: Using particular keywords to search in three databases over ten years (2013–2023), we identified 50 articles that specifically discuss CSR in health organizations, intending to conduct a descriptive study. Findings: The review's findings reveal that scholarly studies on CSR in the healthcare sector have linearly increased. However, a significant number of countries and health organizations continue to be undervalued in CSR literature. Several researchers have also pointed up methodological and sample limitations. The scoping review gives suggestions for further research based on these findings. Originality/value: This review would be an original review on this topic providing a categorized bibliography of CSR in health organizations research from 2013 to 2023. Also, this study would be helpful for searchers interested in CSR since it offers a thorough analysis of past articles on this topic.
