Abstract

The original provision in the article is the notion that transformational socio-economic processes in Russia resulted from the formation of business by one of the major subjects of socially responsible relationships, the effectiveness of which is provided by communication with the authorities and civil society, or social partnership. The article analyses approaches to understanding social responsibility in domestic and foreign traditions, summarizes the implementation of business practices of its social responsibility, and analyzes and summarizes the results of sociological research. The conclusion is made that the social partnership of business, authorities and the population are not always required by social practice. A hypothesis is formulated, the essence of which is that justification of the population in the sphere of protecting habitation and taking responsibility correlates with the level of trust in structures of power and decision-makers.The hypothesis is subjected to empirical testing of sociological research materials. The results conclusively show that there are significant differences according to a range of social indicators among respondents, trust in structures of power and absence of trust in them. Interpretation of results visually demonstrates the potential resources that authorities can use to overcome mistrust, detachment of the population from the process of development, and adoption and monitoring of important solutions and realization of responsibility.
