Question 1
What is corporate social responsibility and what does it have to do with organizational behaviour?Question 2
How can an organization create a positive work environment and improve employee well-being?Answer 1
Corporate social responsibility refers to an organization taking responsibility for the impact of its decisions and actions on its stakeholders. Many CSR issues are associated with organizational behaviour (treating employees fairly, creating a positive work environment and employee well-being, having a diverse workforce, encouraging work-family balance, and employment equity). Thus, organizational behaviour plays an important role in CSR, and organizational behaviour programs and practices are necessary for CSR.Answer 2
Organizational behaviour is concerned with creating a positive work environment and employee well-being. The textbook describes how this can be achieved through workplace spirituality which refers to workplaces that provide employees with meaning, purpose, a sense of community, and a connection to others. Employees in a spiritual workplace have opportunities for personal growth and development and feel valued and supported. The text also describes the importance of positive organizational behaviour and psychological capital which contributes to employee success and well-being as well as more positive attitudes and behaviours. Thus, a positive work environment and employee well-being can also be created by developing employees' PsyCap which can be done through the use of PsyCap interventions.
