The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of spiritual philanthropic
education in church and religiosity on philanthropic activities such as giving and
volunteering, with a particular focus on mediating effects of social responsibility.
Research data were collected from 1,378 Protestants affiliated to churches in
Seoul-Kyunggi province. This study adopted a structural equation modeling. The result
indicated that spiritual philanthropic education and religiosity had direct effect on
volunteering, but there were no indirect effects mediated by social responsibility. On the
other hand, spiritual philanthropic education and religiosity both had indirect effects on
giving mediated by social responsibility. Though spiritual philanthropic education and
religiosity had significant effects on both giving and volunteering, their mediating
influences were different. Based on these results, the implication of this study and future
research tasks were discussed.
