Culture’s effects on corporate sustainability practices: A multi-domain and multi-level view
基于36国1924家企业的数据,研究文化实践维度(如未来导向、性别平等主义)如何影响企业在经济、社会和环境三方面的可持续实践,发现不同维度有正向或负向预测作用,且效果因国家或文化集群而异。
With a triple-bottom-line lens on sustainability, this study examines the effects of culture on companies’ economic, social, and environmental sustainability practices. Drawing on institutional theory and project GLOBE, we delineate cultural practices dimensions that consistently predict sustainability practices related to each of the three domains. Based on a sample of 1924 companies in 36 countries and nine cultural clusters, we find that future orientation, gender egalitarianism, uncertainty avoidance, and power distance practices positively, and performance orientation practices negatively, predict corporate sustainability practices. Further, our findings suggest that these effects might vary according to the country vis-à-vis cluster level of analysis.
