Abstract: Although the relationship between digitalization and employees' corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitment has been extensively explored in literature, there remains a consensus on how digitalization affects employees' commitment. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between digitalization and CSR commitment. Data from branches of two banks was collected by using a time‐lagged approach, and structural equation modeling was employed to validate the measure and test the hypotheses. The findings indicate a direct correlation between digitalization and the CSR commitment of employees towards their organization. The research demonstrates that such a correlation is contingent upon the Human Resource Management (HRM) system used within the organization and the satisfaction of employees' need for autonomy in the workplace. The study emphasizes the role of work design and HRM practices in the relationship between digitalization and employees' CSR commitment.
