Description
Summary:Socially oriented ventures have provided livelihoods and social recognition to disadvantaged communities in different corners of the world. In some cases, these ventures are the result of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs. In Latin America, this type of undertaking has responded positively to unmet social needs. The social cause drives these organizations and their human resources and they give high value to organizational cause-fit. This paper presents empirical evidence of the effects of perceived cause-fit on several worker attitudes and behaviors. Psychological contract theory was adopted as theoretical background. Employees working in a hybrid (for-profit/socially oriented) Colombian organization created by a CSR program participated in the survey. Data provided by 218 employees were analyzed using PLS structural equation modeling. The results suggest the ideological components of the employee-employer relationship predict positive attitudes and cooperative organizational behaviors towards hybrid organizations.

Na America Latina este tipo de empreendimento tem respondido positivamente as necessidades sociais. A causa social dirige essas organizacoes e seus recursos humanos, e valoriza a adesao a causa organizacional. O artigo apresenta uma evidencia empirica em relacao aos efeitos percebidos de adesao a causa sobre as atitudes e comportamentos dos trabalhadores. O estudo foi baseado na teoria do contrato psicologico. Empregados de uma empresa colombiana hibrida (fins lucrativos/orientacao social) criada a partir de uma iniciativa da RSE participaram da investigacao. Os dados foram analisados atraves da modelacao por equacoes estruturais (PLS). Os resultados indicam que os componentes ideologicos da relacao empregado-empregador tem atitudes positivas e comportamentos cooperativos paras as organizacoes hibridas.
