Abstract: The study examines the influence of organizational spirituality (OS; specifically, the spiritual value of welfare and wellness of others) on employees’ intention to volunteer for organization-supported community development programmes through investigating affective organizational commitment and psychological flourishing as intervening variables. The study uses a questionnaire-based survey design, drawing upon the sample of 288 employees from the Indian telecom sector. We assess a multiple-mediation model using PLS-SEM. Overall, the results confirm the strong total indirect effect of OS on employee volunteering intention (EVI). This article contributes to the literature on employee volunteering by directing attention towards examining the effect of organizational-level factor of spiritual values on EVI. Contribution is also made to the literature on OS by highlighting its benefits for not only the employee and the organization but also the wider community/society.
