Can business‐oriented managers be effective leaders for corporate sustainability? A study of integrative and instrumental logics
通过研究澳大利亚林业与木制品行业25家企业的可持续发展绩效和32位高管的观点，发现整体上绩效好的企业由持整合逻辑的管理者领导，但特定行业条件下持工具逻辑的管理者也能产生相当的生态和社会成果。
Abstract This qualitative study investigates whether the views of managers need to be congruent with the corporate sustainability (CS) logics—either integrative or instrumental—of their employing organization. We assessed the CS performance of 25 organizations within the Australian forestry and wood products industry and analyzed the CS orientations of 32 senior managers within these companies to explore whether their individual CS views were consistent with organizational CS logics. The findings indicate that, in general, better performing organizations are led by managers that hold the integrative view, whereas poorer performing organizations are more likely to have managers with an instrumental view of CS. Nonetheless, there were noteworthy exceptions to this conclusion. The findings indicate that, under certain industry conditions, managers who hold an instrumental view may be able to generate ecological and social organizational outcomes that are at least equal to those produced by integrative managers.
