Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) continues to generate debate in practice and in the literature. Initially developed and implemented in the business world, CSR responds to calls from civil society for corporations to safeguard human dignity and advocate for social change (Locke, 2013). CSR is a multifaceted concept studied extensively and applied in different fields and contexts. It is an operationalization of the responsibilities a given corporation holds within and outside its organization in a business context.More recently, there has been an increase in the literature that uses CSR terminology in the public sector. Although this combination might seem odd due to the fundamental differences between the private and public sector, scholars argue that CSR goals and responsibilities can be understood regardless of the organizational type. Although CSR is considered a well-developed concept, its application to the public sector is inconsistent. Furthermore, its operational and conceptual applications are lacking in the developing world, specifically in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Another glaring problem is related to the rash extrapolation of research findings from single countries to the whole region, while disregarding the differences in the institutional structure of each country.This dissertation explores the patterns adopted by public organizations to implement CSR or SR (Social Responsibility) approaches in developing countries in the MENA, particularly in Tunisia. In this context, Tunisia is used as a case of a successful SR implementation. This work aims to answer three research questions: 1) What are the elements of SR in the public sector in the MENA region as conceptualized in the literature? 2) What are SR implementation patterns in the public sector in the MENA region? and, 3) How are SR discourses institutionalized at the country level?The first question is answered through a systematic literature review that contributes to the growing literature on CSR by making sense of the diversity of the elements that influence it. The 88 articles collected demonstrated significant differences in SR implementation levels across the region at the individual, organizational, and institutional levels. It has also shown notable challenges related to the difficulty of the SR framework's operationalization phase, hence the need for government to support organizations - regardless of their sector and ownership structure- to implement and promote SR.A cluster analysis and Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) are used to evaluate the CSR implementation patterns in the public sector in the MENA region, which can serve as a basis for cross-country comparisons with MENA-based countries or other regions. The variables considered for the analysis were related to foreign investment, clean energy consumption, women's participation in the political sphere, and advanced industrial performance, which were found to be potential conditions for the public sector's commitment to sustainability. One of the main findings is that the levels of SR commitment were often decoupled from reality, especially regarding women's rights. In a nutshell, the declared commitment towards women's rights is sometimes primarily reflected on paper with meager real-life applications.
