Abstract: The purpose of this study is to validate a Spanish-speaking version of the internal corporate social responsibility questionnaire (ICSR Q), a questionnaire that is based on the social exchange theory and assess the perception of employees related to seven internal practices that reflect how responsible are organizations toward its workforce The questionnaire was applied to two samples of Colombian employees (N = 433). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the original structure of seven factors was maintained in the Spanish—speaking version, with appropriate levels of convergent and discriminant validity. Positive and significant relationships were found between internal corporate social responsibility and organizational commitment, both at affective and normative levels. Finally, type of employment contract (permanent or fixed term) implied significant differences in employee perceptions of internal corporate social responsibility. Our results provide evidence for the validity of the Spanish—speaking version of the internal corporate responsibility scale, suggesting its future application in investigations of internal aspects of corporate social responsibility in Spanish-speaking organizational contexts.
