ABSTRACT=Meaningful work is an important field of research, relating to both organizational outcomes and employee welfare. The current research focuses on the relationship between organizational democracy and meaningful work. We test a mediation model in which corporate social responsibility (CSR) perceptions mediate the positive relationship between organizational democracy and meaningful work. We used structural equitation modelling with self-reported, cross-sectional data from different nations and industries. Our results confirmed that CSR perceptions partially mediate in the relationship between organizational democracy and meaningful work. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
