Procurement with a Purpose: Mission-Influenced Responses to Social Movement Salience
研究社会运动显著性如何影响公共采购决策,发现社会运动越受关注,机构对少数族裔企业的采购支出越高,尤其在没有明确公平使命的机构中,机构使命调节了这种响应。
This study examines how the salience of social movements influences public procurement decisions and how agency mission shapes these responses. Findings show heightened social movement salience correlates with greater spending on minority-owned businesses, particularly among agencies without explicit equity-oriented missions. The results underscore the moderating role of organizational missions in shaping responsiveness to external pressures. This research contributes to scholarship on social public procurement, organizational behavior, and mission-driven responsiveness, offering practical insights for advancing equity in public procurement.
