Abstract
This paper conceptualizes the prosocial orientation of the firm. With the ever-increasing contribution of firms toward social good, it is helpful to have a single concept that incorporates the social acts that a firm engages in. The prosocial behavior of a firm originates from the motives of society, decision-makers, stakeholders, and employees. A conceptual model of these relationships portends the benefits that accrue to the firm in its relationships with its suppliers, employees, customers, shareholders, and the government. However, managers are advised to be careful and avoid the incidence of free riding that such an interpersonal concept can engender.
