The target group of this study will be graduate business students.

Furthermore, the study aims to identify the underlying set of values that determine the perceived importance of CSR.
    The purpose of this study is one the one hand to research the correlation of CSR activities and company attractiveness which can be beneficial for the Human Resource Management as an instrument for attracting talent and on the other hand to provide evi-dence on the connection between different sets of values and the perceived importance of CSR.
