Percepção de responsabilidade social e satisfação no trabalho: um estudo em empresas brasileiras

Abstract

This research aims to verify if the perception of corporate social responsibility (PCSR) of employees influences in the job satisfaction. The hypothesis is the greater the employee's PCSR, more satisfied they are at job. Five sub‐hypotheses were tested: satisfaction with salary, with coworkers, with promotions, with the nature of the job and the leadership. In the research field, we used the database of research Great Place to Work, held annually in Brazil, with 114.147 employees of 383 companies. To test the research hypothesis, we applied the techniques of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed three constructs of the PCSR that are related to job satisfaction: satisfaction with leadership and nature of the work; satisfaction with salary; and satisfaction with coworkers. The perception of CSR significantly influences the three constructs. However, satisfaction with the leadership and the nature of work the construct was further explained by the perception of CSR.
