Abstract
Work‐life balance issues are very important for those companies interested in Corporate Social Responsibility. Using a sample of 511 Spanish employees, this work examines the effect of family‐friendly psychological climate (FFPC) on altruism through job satisfaction. It also considers the moderating effect of gender on the studied relationships. The results obtained through structural equation analysis show (1) a positive association between FFPC and altruistic behaviors of employees; (2) that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between the perceptions of managerial support and altruism and (3) that the perception of managerial support directly leads to the development of altruistic behaviors in the case of women and, in the case of men, only when this support affects satisfaction. These findings have some managerial implications. For instance, firms interested in promoting altruistic behaviors among their employees could incorporate into the performance appraisal system the assessment of managers' assistance to employees.
