dc.description.abstractThis Master Thesis fills a gap in the literature about the role of the works council with employee engagement considering CSR in organizations. Due to the increasing importance of CSR in the society, employee engagement has found to be crucial to initiate the change regarding CSR in organizations. The most traditional form of employee engagement is the works council. The research question that is answered in this Master Thesis is; What is the role of the works council in employee engagement with CSR? By doing nine semi-structured interviews in three different cases and coding them according to the Gioia method this research was done in an inductive manner based on the grounded theory. The findings of the interviews showed that employee engagement considering CSR is rising. However, it is found that the employees do not approach the works council very often about certain topics. It is concluded that in these organizations the employee engagement with CSR is more directly with the management and not through the works council. Although the works councils are seen as a traditional form to link the employee engagement with the management, the employees and management discuss CSR topics more directly.
