“…Positive CSR perception and the team climate in which CSR is encouraged are also organizational characteristics. Team members believe they are a part of a good organization, inducing positive ego formation [ 61 , 62 ]. Consequently, they feel strong organization identification [ 63 ], and their happiness at work can increase through the development of positive perceptions and sentiments toward the team organization.…”

The purpose of the present study is to examine the effects of team level Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) promotion climate on work happiness of team members. Furthermore, we investigate the mediating role of organizational identification at individual level and the moderating role of leader–follower value congruence at the team level in the relationship between CSR promotion climate and work happiness, thus overcoming the limitations of previous studies which mainly focused on a unitary level of analysis. To this end, a multilevel analysis was used, dealing with team- and individual-level relationships; the sample comprises 70 teams and 336 employees from 23 Korean firms. Our empirical analysis revealed that a team CSR promotion climate positively influenced team members’ happiness at work and organization identification. Furthermore, organization identification partially mediated the relationship between team CSR promotion climate and happiness at the workplace. By interacting with team CSR promotion climate, leader–followers value congruence positively regulated the influence of team CSR promotion climate on happiness at work. In this process, for a group with high leader–follower value congruence, the team CSR promotion climate strengthens team members’ happiness at the workplace. The study utilizes a multilevel analysis method to simultaneously verify team- and individual-level elements positively affecting team members’ happiness at work. Through this method, it confirmed that CSR promotion climate and team organization identification positively influence happiness at work. The theoretical and practical implications are presented, and directions for future research with limitations of the study are discussed.

“…Specifically, it was argued that CSR can drive the extra-role behavior of employees. For example, a positive link between CSR and employees’ organizational citizenship behavior (an extra role behavior) was well discussed in prior literature [ 11 , 12 ]. However, approaching CSR to explain employees’ PEB is something that became a topic of academic debate just recently.…”

The healthcare sector throughout the world is identified for its outsized carbon footprint. Despite the mounting importance of employees’ pro-environmental behavior (PEB) for decarbonization, the role of PEB in a healthcare context was less emphasized previously, especially in a developing country context. To address this knowledge gap, the current work was carried out to examine the relationship between a hospital’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and PEB with the mediating effect of environmental-specific transformational leadership (ESTL). At the same time, the conditional indirect effect of altruistic values (AV) was also considered in the above relationship. The data were collected through a questionnaire by employing a paper-pencil method from the hospital employees (n = 293). By considering the structural equation modeling, the hypothesized relationships were validated. The results indicated that CSR directly (β1 = 0.411) and indirectly, via ESTL, (β4 = 0.194) influenced the PEB of employees. It was also realized that A.V produced a conditional indirect effect in this relationship (β5 = 0.268). This work tends to help a hospital to improve its environmental footprint through CSR and ESTL. Moreover, the current work also highlights the role of employees’ values (e.g., A.V) to guide the environment-specific behavior of employees.

“…Existing research has identified the favorable effects of organizational factors such as authentic leadership, organizational justice, and perceived organizational support on OCB among employees ( Iqbal et al, 2018 ; Farid et al, 2019 ; Tran and Choi, 2019 ). Scientists have discovered a correlation between OCB and employee loyalty and identification with a firm ( El-Kassar et al, 2021 ). CSR contributes to organizational identification and encourages employees to demonstrate extra-role and responsibility-taking behaviors ( Wang et al, 2017 ).…”

“…CSR contributes to organizational identification and encourages employees to demonstrate extra-role and responsibility-taking behaviors ( Wang et al, 2017 ). In this regard, employees who identify with their organization are more likely to maintain their self-identity through OCB ( Wang et al, 2019 ; El-Kassar et al, 2021 ). Social exchange theory says that people trade with each other for both social and economic reasons ( Blau, 1964 ).…”

This study investigates the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on firm reputation and organizational citizenship behavior, along with the mediating inclusion of organic organizational cultures (Clan and Adhocracy) in the medium and large enterprises of Pakistan. To do the path analysis and to investigate the mediating role of organic organization culture, Smart PLS was used. For data collection, the convenience sampling technique was used and responses from 360 questionnaires were the main data source. The results displayed that CSR has a significant and optimistic effect on a firm reputation and employees’ organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Secondly, the outcomes showed a positive and full mediation effect of organic organizational cultures between CSR and firm reputation but a partial mediation effect of organic organizational cultures between CSR and employees OCB. Further, the results demonstrated a positive and significant influence of employees’ OCB on a firm reputation. The extensive analysis of all factors of the study was autonomously examined to identify the insights that verify how the inclusion of organic organizational cultures can boost the firm reputation and employees’ OCB. Theoretical implications and future research direction are discussed.
