Subcultures and sustainability practices: the impact on understanding corporate sustainability
基于255名员工调查,发现组织内亚文化差异影响员工对企业可持续性的理解,强调层级和官僚价值观的亚文化更倾向于经济层面的理解。
Abstract In this paper we present findings of how employees from a single organization understand corporate sustainability. Responses from 255 survey participants indicate (1) that differences exist in how employees understand corporate sustainability and (2) that these differences can be partially explained by the presence of organizational subcultures and by differences in employee awareness of the organization's sustainability practices. In particular, findings reveal that employees from a subculture with a stronger emphasis on hierarchical and bureaucratic values emphasize an economic understanding of corporate sustainability. Implications for research and practice are discussed. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.
