Abstract

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) provides companies with an opportunity to contribute to addressing global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, wealth inequality, and fragile economic and political systems. Previous research has primarily focused on examining firm strategies and policies in response to these issues, but has paid limited attention to the involvement and role of employees in implementing CSR within organizations. By adopting a stakeholder theory perspective, this article aims to explore the perceptions and experiences of internal stakeholders regarding CSR initiatives. It also seeks to identify themes emerging from narrative interviews that are relevant to employees engaged in a transformative change process toward sustainability. The findings underscore the crucial role of employees as facilitators of CSR, highlight potential divergent perspectives on sustainability efforts, and recommend the inclusion and empowerment of employees in CSR initiatives. By doing so, organizations can effectively implement ecological sustainability and increasingly address social sustainability both within the firm and in the broader context.

通过企业社会责任实现生态和社会可持续变革:员工的赋能作用
企业社会责任(CSR)为企业提供了一个机会,为应对气候变化、资源稀缺、财富不平等以及脆弱的经济和政治体系等全球挑战做出贡献。以前的研究主要集中在研究企业应对这些问题的战略和政策,但对员工在组织内实施企业社会责任的参与和作用关注有限。通过采用利益相关者理论的视角,本文旨在探讨内部利益相关者对企业社会责任倡议的看法和经验。它还试图确定叙述性采访中出现的主题,这些主题与参与可持续发展变革过程的员工有关。研究结果强调了员工作为企业社会责任促进者的关键作用,强调了对可持续发展努力的潜在分歧,并建议将员工纳入企业社会责任倡议并赋予其权力。通过这样做,组织可以有效地实施生态可持续性,并在公司内部和更广泛的背景下日益解决社会可持续性问题。
