00925njm 22002777a 4500 dc Skhirtladze, Ela author Selvam, Rejina author Rey, Carlos author Romeo, Marina author 2025-10-01 Amid shifting organizational landscapes, mission has gained prominence as a strategic mechanism for promoting alignment and shared purpose. Yet, declaration of mission alone rarely leads to meaningful impact unless it is understood, internalized, and enacted in employees’ daily work. This paper examines how effective mission implementation, defined as the consistency between mission content, practice, and motivation, relates to employee outcomes, including organizational commitment, prosocial behavior, and meaningful work. Study 1 draws on data from employees in organizations participating in the Driving Purpose and Mission Collaborative (DPMC), which actively engage in purpose-driven management practices. Study 2 includes employees from a broader range of organizations without formalized mission structures. Structural equation modeling was used in both studies. In Study 1, effective mission implementation directly predicted prosocial behavior and indirectly predicted meaningful work, mediated by organizational trust. In Study 2, mission implementation influenced outcomes only indirectly, with trust playing a central mediating role. These findings underscore the significance of mission implementation as a dynamic, context-sensitive process and demonstrate how alignment, trust, and prosocial motivation shape employees’ experience of purpose at work.
