Abstract: Top managers are recognized as important forces in fostering the spread of ethical spirits and responsible behaviors in organizations. The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of personal ethical values and demographics (age, gender, and education level) on top managers’ CSR perceptions in Ethiopia. A quantitative approach involving a structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 294 executive managers of four sectors (floriculture, food, textile, and banks). Multiple linear regressions were employed to analyze the data. The analysis revealed that while some personal demographics, i.e., age and educational level had no impact on Ethiopian managers’ CSR perception, gender was positively and significantly correlated with managers’ CSR perception. Additionally, the analysis indicated that managers’ personal moral values had significantly influenced Ethiopian managers’ CSR perception. Key Words: Managers’ CSR perception, Ethiopia, Moral values, Demographic characteristics
