A New Working Life : -The Effects of Covid-19 in a Non-profit Organisation with a Core in Corporate Social Responsibility Work in Spain

The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in big changes in the working life for everybody. These changes have been extra hard on people with disabilities and individuals within marginalised groups. This group of people are more often hired by non-profit organisations over organisations that seek profit. Two factors that may have affected how organisations have coped with the pandemic is the organisational culture within the organisation as well as their incorporation of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The aim of this study is to examine how an understanding of organisational culture can help explain the actions of a non-profit organisation with a core in corporate social responsibility. Previous research points to the fact that nonprofits have handled the pandemic better than profitable organisations. Work related stress and anxiety, which has increased during the pandemic, can be mitigated by different organisational actions. Through qualitative interviews conducted at one non-profitable organisation in Spain, this study has concluded that a strong organisational culture, where employees are prioritised before profit, might be why the organisation studied in this thesis has been successful concerning crisis management and employee satisfaction.
