Organizational Virtuousness and Workplace Well-Being in Organizational Citizenship Behaviors

Abstract

In the current context, strongly marked by globalization, organizations have undergone a period of changes induced by economic, social, and political changes, which have led to changes in the relationships between individuals and society. In this way, organizations, through the implementation of new values and strategies, have established themselves as socially responsible organizations, characterized by their ethical essence. This chapter intends to evaluate the organizational virtuousness, affective well-being at work, and organizational citizenship behaviors, following the studies developed by Cameron et al. and by Rego et al., which relate organizational virtuosity, well-being at work, and behaviors of organizational citizenship. The study was applied in the municipalities of the Intermunicipal Community (CIM) – Trás-os-Montes, and 760 employees were surveyed. Findings indicate that perceptions of organizational virtuousness and well-being at work are related to organizational citizenship behaviors.
