Purpose: The purpose of the article is to identify and evaluate selected socially irresponsible activities in the economic area towards employees in a small enterprise. Design/methodology/approach: The theoretical part of the article uses a critical review of the literature on the subject, while the empirical part presents a pilot qualitative empirical study. The research was conducted by direct interview method using an interview questionnaire on a purposively selected sample of 78 Polish small (including micro) enterprises. Findings: A key finding of the research is that entrepreneurs declared irresponsible behavior in all surveyed elements of the human resource management process. Research limitations/implications: The research is idiographic and refers to a purposively selected sample of companies, so its conclusions apply only to the surveyed population. An important limitation of the research is the declarative nature of respondents' answers. Practical implications: The results of the empirical research and its conclusions can guide managers of small enterprises regarding the avoidance of socially irresponsible actions towards employees and, on this basis, making socially responsible actions towards this group of stakeholders. Social implications: The timeliness and importance of recognizing socially irresponsible actions towards a company's internal stakeholders in the face of global and national socio 23 economic challenges are of value to society and other participants in the small business environment. Originality/value: This article pretends to fill a significant research gap in the subject matter. The originality of the considerations is due to the pioneering nature of the research on the social irresponsibility of small businesses to employees in terms of implementing the concept of corporate social responsibility.
