Why do firms adopt ‘beyond‐compliance’ environmental policies?
研究企业为何选择性采纳超越法律要求的环境政策,提出内部权力和领导力过程是关键驱动因素,并区分了不同条件下的结果类型。
Abstract This paper examines why firms selectively adopt ‘beyond‐compliance’ environmental policies. It argues that existing explanations based on factors external to firms are under‐specified and a focus on internal dynamics is also required. It draws insights from institutional theory, corporate social performance perspective, and stakeholder theory and relates them to internal processes. Beyond‐compliance policies are adopted, if at all, due to two types of intra‐firm process: power based and leadership based. These processes arise under different conditions and lead to different types of outcome. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment
