Información sobre Responsabilidad Social contenida en las páginas webs de los ayuntamientos. Estudio en la región del Alentejo

The aim of this paper is to analyze the degree to which information on Social Responsibility (SR) is disseminated by the 58 municipalities of the Alentejo region in Continental Portugal, as well as identifying possible explanatory factors. The analysis is motivated due to the significant increase in recent years of entities within the public sector that report on issues relating to economic, social and environmental performance. To achieve this objective, a content analysis of the websites of the municipalities in the study population was conducted. The results indicate that the degree of dissemination of information on SR is low and is related to the size of the entity, the dependent population, educational level, institutional capacity and electoral participation
