dc.description.abstractCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an important topic in daily life. The focus is more and more on the side effects of doing business, and organizations are expected to be socially and environmentally engaged. Previous studies focused on the spillover effects of CSR on employees within the organizational context. In contrast, this study focuses on the individual level; on the spillover effects of the employees outside the organizational context. In a field experiment, almost 2800 participants were randomly placed in one of six different treatment groups. Through this experiment, it was discovered that the impact of CSR had been underestimated in the literature so far; a CSR policy motivates people to show pro-social behavior. Therefore, CSR not only has direct spillover effects but indirectly creates positive spillover effects on employees’ non-work-related behavior.
