Description

Through a structured questionnaire, a sample of 184 data points was collected. The questionnaire was administered using stratified sampling to residents of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, Mexico, aged 20 and over. The measurement instrument consisted of 31 questions corresponding to corporate social responsibility and subjective well-being. Three dimensions of corporate social responsibility from Avendaño-Rito et al. (2025) were used: ethical, philanthropic, and legal. According to the authors, ethical responsibility was defined as the company's conduct in accordance with social norms; philanthropic responsibility was conceptualized as the company's voluntary activities that reflect society's desires; and legal responsibility was defined as behavior based on government-established practices. Ethical responsibility consisted of 9 items (ETIC), philanthropic of 6 (FILA), and legal of 5 (LEGA). A 5-point Likert scale was used for these variables. To measure subjective well-being, the scale proposed by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (2025) in its Self-Reported Well-being Module (BIARE) was adapted to assess self-perception and life experiences related to quality of life. Subjective well-being consisted of social well-being (BIES) and economic well-being (BIEE). The former consisted of 6 items, and the latter of 5, both on a 5-point Likert scale.
