From Collective Dilemmas to Collective Solutions: An Integrative Framework and Research Agenda for Collective Action and Sustainability Research
通过综述140篇管理学期刊论文，整合了集体行动与可持续性研究的三个互补视角（根源困境、响应实施、响应有效性），提出了一个整合理论模型，帮助学者理解不同利益相关者如何共同应对可持续性挑战。
Sustainability challenges require collective action (CA) among diverse stakeholders, yet current management scholarship on CA remains theoretically fragmented. Through a comprehensive review and inductive analysis of 140 peer-reviewed management articles at the intersection of CA and sustainability, we highlight three complementary lenses that management scholars have historically used to study CA and sustainability: (1) root dilemmas (i.e., how sustainability challenges emerge from CA problems); (2) response implementation (i.e., how individuals, organizations, and multistakeholder coalitions implement different types of collective responses); and (3) response effectiveness (i.e., the conditions under which certain CA responses prove more or less effective in addressing sustainability challenges). We develop an integrative theoretical model that synthesizes these previously disparate perspectives to help align and move research forward. Overall, our work shows that CA for addressing sustainability challenges is less about working toward a shared goal and more about creating the conditions in which diverse types of actors have the incentive to “get things done together.”
