Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is one of the major concerns of companies trying to develop a sustainable strategy. Indeed, several environmental, social, and financial scandals have legitimized the role of CSR in the fight against social dangerousness. Therefore, several studies have focused on organizational practices that lead employees to engage in CSR. However, only a few studies have examined the effect of the intrinsic dimension on individual social commitment. In this perspective, spirituality represents an intrinsic dimension that may influence the organizational behavior of employees. This paper is based on a qualitative exploratory study conducted in a single company engaged in CSR on the basis of semi-structured interviews. These interviews show that spirituality accelerates socially responsible behavior, and leads to various other kinds of employee commitment to CSR. Finally, it also appears that the spiritual approach differs according to generational membership.
