Employee Happiness and Green Practices: A Case Study of Internal Corporate Social Responsibility

The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has arisen as a result of due to the increase in pollution and excessive exploitation of the Earth's resources, as well as the human resources caused by the activities of companies that seek to make profits at any cost. As resources have become increasingly limited and human performance has decreased due to burnout, and also because current generations move from one job to another if they consider that the organizational environment does not provide them a certain degree of comfort, companies have had to adapt certain policies to support both the environment and employees. Thus, the role of the current research is to identify those components of internal CSR that impact employee happiness, as well ase components of internal CSR that impact employee happiness and green practices. In this sense, by applying a questionnaire addressed to a number of 123 respondents whose answers were imported into Smart PLS, it was wanted to validate the hypotheses according to which the variables work-life balance and equal opportunities, adaptability to change, and occupational health and safety have a role in defining employee happiness, as well as green practices within companies.
