Employees’ orientation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a key role in constructing efficient and consistent employer-employee relationships. Economic CSR perception ensures the understanding of employees towards organizational growth profit margins and quality applicable successes. Legal CSR is the practice of rules and regulations, responsibilities, and obeying laws and orders through upholding respect for the organization. Employees’ ethical CSR perception aims at securing morality, ethics of conduct and ways of principled communications. Also, Philanthropic CSR aims at efficient utilization of organizational resources. Knowledge of CSR helps employees to understand the importance of quality work environment involvement and simultaneous importance of work determination. Therefore, this study has investigated the effect of employee CSR perceptions on self-determined work motivation with the mediating role of quality of work life (QWL). This study elicited the opinions of 316 employees of the Social Security Insurance organization in Iran. The structural equation modeling with partial least squares (PLS) method has been used to investigate the effects of variables on each other. The results show that all the relationships between the study model paths are significant. In fact, having a good QWL among employees has an effective role in the impact of employees’ CSR perceptions on self-determined work motivation.
