The purpose of this study is to identify and review survey instruments used to evaluate stakeholders' perceptions of corporate social responsibility (CSR). In this article, the Thomson Reuters Web of Science database was used to search for relevant articles. A systematic review of published studies from 1990 to 2017 identified apposite survey instruments employed to measure the stakeholders' perceptions of CSR. Articles were analyzed for descriptive information and psychometric validity. A total of 43 survey instruments were found that measured stakeholders' CSR perception. Of those, 20 articles included all psychometric properties. In addition, the analysis suggested economic, legal, ethical, discretionary/philanthropic, social, and environmental responsibilities as common dimensions. This study contributes to CSR literature by providing several suggestions regarding the development of survey instruments to measure the stakeholders' perceptions of CSR.
