Prosocial organizing spans CSR, social enterprises, hybrids, and community ventures.

Evidence

In this paper, we also aim to understand the nature of “commons organizing” as a phenomenon within the extensive prosocial organizing research field (Peredo et al. 2018). Human prosocial behavior refers to voluntary actions motivated by the ultimate goal of increasing others’ welfare, benefiting, comforting and sharing with others (Batson 2011). … Among prosocial organizing traits, Peredo et al. (2018) mention the spread of CSR, social enterprises and hybrid organizations. Other forms include community-based enterprises or B corporations and collective environmental entrepreneurship. — Laura Albareda and Alejo Jose G. Sison, Commons Organizing, 199
