    Este artículo estudia la participación de la comunidad en la toma de decisiones sobre las inversiones en responsabilidad social corporativa (RSE) de las empresas mineras en Perú y sus condiciones causales a través de las percepciones de los interesados. Con este fin, se entrevistó a miembros de la comunidad, ONGs y consultores. La atención se centró en varias condiciones causales en las que los interesados: a) explican las necesidades de la comunidad, b) reconocen las inversiones realizadas por las empresas, c) creen que los beneficios de la minería no son lo que esperaban, d) declaran los costos generados por estas actividades y e) señalan que el diálogo es la solución. Los datos recopilados se procesaron mediante un análisis de contenido, seguido de un Análisis Cualitativo Comparativo (QCA). Las condiciones que aparecieron en las soluciones del QCA fueron diferentes dependiendo de si la comunidad participaba o no en la toma de decisiones, prevaleciendo la segunda situación. Los resultados ofrecen una mayor comprensión a todas las partes y pueden ayudar a las empresas a mejorar su desempeño.

    This paper studies the community involvement in decision-making on corporate social responsibility (CSR) investments of mining firms in Peru and its causal conditions through stakeholder’s perceptions. To this end, community members, NGOs and consultants were interviewed. The focus was on various causal conditions in which stakeholders: a) explain the community needs, b) recognize the investments made by the companies, c) believe that mining benefits are not what they expected, d) declare the costs generated by these activities and e) point out that dialogue is the solution. Collected data were processed via a content analysis, followed by a Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). The conditions which appeared in the QCA solutions were different depending on whether the community participated or not in decision-making, with the second situation prevailing. The results offer further understanding to all parties and may help companies to improve their performance.
