Independent studies have shown that job performance is influenced by how employees perceive the organization they work for and how they perceive the work they perform for the organization. Moreover, studies on the relationship between social responsibility and job performance have shown that employees\u2019 perceptions of their organization mediate the relationship. What is thus far neglected, however, is whether and how their perceptions of work itself mediate the relationship as well. We derive a sequential mediation model according to which social responsibility improves job performance by contributing to a supportive and trustworthy work context (employees\u2019 perceptions of the organization they work for), in turn promoting work meaningfulness and engagement (employees\u2019 perceptions of work itself). We collect survey data and test the sequential mediation model against a series of alternative models, each of which challenges a specific assumption of the proposed model. Our model provides the best tradeoff between the accuracy and the parsimony with which it describes the data collected, and is, therefore, expected to generalize best to other data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su141912031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,26]],"date-time":"2022-09-26T03:34:17Z","timestamp":1664163257000},"page":"12031","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["No Place for Pointless Jobs: How Social Responsibility Impacts Job Performance"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1868-5928","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marc","family":"Scholten","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Design, Technology and Communication, Universidade Europeia, 1500-210 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"Centro de Estudos em Gest\u00e3o do Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico (CEG-IST), Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, Universidade de Lisboa, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2040-8412","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuela Faia","family":"Correia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Economic and Business Sciences, Universidade Lus\u00edada, 1349-001 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Organiza\u00e7\u00f5es, Mercados e Gest\u00e3o Industrial (COMEGI), Universidade Lus\u00edada, 1349-001 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"Instituto de Sa\u00fade Ambiental (ISAMB), Faculty of Medicine, Universidade de Lisboa, 1649-028 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1057-0835","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teresa","family":"Esteves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Organiza\u00e7\u00f5es, Mercados e Gest\u00e3o Industrial (COMEGI), Universidade Lus\u00edada, 1349-001 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"ISCAL\u2014Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administra\u00e7\u00e3o de Lisboa, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Lisboa, 1069-035 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3704-2995","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u00f3nia P.","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Administra\u00e7\u00e3o e Pol\u00edticas P\u00fablicas (CAPP), Instituto Superior de Ci\u00eancias Sociais e Pol\u00edticas (ISCSP), Universidade de Lisboa, 1300-663 Lisbon, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Ehnert, I.
