How Does Participation in Corporate Volunteering Programs Increase Employees’ Sense of Belonging?


This project explores how corporate volunteering programmes enhance employees’ sense of belonging within organisations. Drawing on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Social Identity Theory, and Self‑Determination Theory, it examines the social mechanisms that connect volunteer participation with workplace engagement. The study first explains the concepts of sense of belonging and corporate volunteering, using youth development and environmental projects from banks in Hong Kong as examples. Our findings show that corporate volunteering strengthens employees' social identity and supports their sense of autonomy and purpose. Overall, the case studies reveal that corporate volunteering not only benefits the communities but also cultivates employee motivation and cohesion.
