Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that lead to and influence workplace volunteering in Pakistan's mobile telecommunications sector. Research on volunteering has been limited, thus we picked Job design (individual autonomy in working decisions and procedures) and personality traits (five-factor personality) for the antecedents and job performance as results. The data is collected through structured questionnaires from 340 employees who worked in the Telecom sector. SPSS is used for statistical analysis. In our study, we discovered a strong correlation between the antecedents and outcomes of workplace volunteering. A unique aspect of the study is that it examined job design in terms of individual autonomy in making working decisions and working procedures as a precursor to individual volunteering. Our findings will help the enterprises to get their employees involved in volunteering, as well as boost their employees' ability to build a positive social image of their organizations.
