Abstract
Corporate volunteering (CV) – an employee’s community involvement during work hours – is a specific, temporary corporate form of organized volunteering. CV can lead to benefits for all parties involved, such as corporate employees supporting social organizations or employees potentially learning from their CV experiences (skill development), which may change their workplace interactions and impact the employer’s organizational culture and corporate identity. Some prerequisites are needed for those benefits to occur. Here, we describe this interaction between employee and company in a psychological model and analyze CV’s impact on corporate practices.
