In recent decades, internal corporate social responsibility has become an important component of the overall social responsibility of organizations and, consequently, a central focus of interest for organizational leaders and scholars. In this context, employee involvement in socially responsible practices plays a particularly significant role, representing one of the fundamental elements of internal CSR and substantially influencing the relationship between employees and the organization. The aim of this study was to examine how employee participation in socially responsible activities in the workplace affects various psychological outcomes, such as organizational identification, employee engagement, and job satisfaction. The research is grounded in the theoretical framework of internal corporate social responsibility and an empirical quantitative study conducted through an online survey. The results indicate that employee involvement in socially responsible activities significantly contributes to positive psychological outcomes by enhancing organizational identification, engagement, and job satisfaction. A particular contribution of this study lies in addressing an existing research gap, as most previous studies have primarily focused on employees’ perceptions of corporate social responsibility, while actual active participation in socially responsible activities has remained relatively underexplored.
