Popis: While previous research has already revealed the positive influence of socially responsible human resource management (SRHRM) on organizations, little is known about whether employees&rsquo
perceived SRHRM can lead to a win&ndash
win situation between organization and society. We address this void by examining whether employees&rsquo
perceived SRHRM can contribute to organizational performance (operationalized as task performance and organizational citizenship behavior, OCB), and social performance (operationalized as volunteering). Using a sample of 314 employee&ndash
supervisor dyads from three large manufacturing enterprises in Southeast China, we found that perceived SRHRM could increase employees&rsquo
OCB and volunteering, but not task performance, through both cognitive (i.e., prosocial identity) and affective (i.e., affective empathy) paths. Furthermore, perceived SRHRM was more positively related to prosocial identity and affective empathy when distributive justice was high. We finally discuss the implications of our findings for both theory and practice.
