Abstract
In recent years, employer-supported volunteering has emerged as a critical component of corporate social responsibility (CSR), offering employees the opportunity to engage in community service activities with the support and endorsement of their employers. It addresses the pressing issue of enhancing job satisfaction levels among employees, a key determinant of organizational success and employee retention. The objectives of this study were: 1) To examine the correlation between the frequency of participation in employer-supported volunteering (ESV) activities and employee job satisfaction, 2) To examine the impact of perceived organizational support for ESV participation on job satisfaction among employees, 3) To examine the influence of the alignment of ESV activities with employees’ personal values on their job satisfaction. This paper adopted the quantitative research methodology, based on the Social Exchange Theory. The study employed a stratified random sampling method to collect data from 430 employees of GE new Energy Company, through a structured survey, focusing on their participation in ESV activities, perceived organizational support, alignment of ESV with personal values, and overall job satisfaction.
This study got three results: 1) Increased frequency of ESV participation significantly enhances job satisfaction; 2) Perceived organizational support for ESV participation is positively associated with job satisfaction; 3) Alignment of ESV activities with personal values strongly contributes to job satisfaction. Based on these findings, the study recommends the following strategies: 1) increasing the variety of ESV opportunities, 2) enhancing organizational support for ESV participation, 3) aligning ESV activities with employees’ personal values to improve job satisfaction. These strategies are pivotal for fostering a supportive and engaged workforce committed to the company’s CSR initiatives.
In conclusion, this research underscores the significant role of employer-supported volunteering in boosting job satisfaction, offering actionable insights for companies aiming to leverage CSR activities to foster a more satisfied and engaged workforce.
