摘要

目的-组织将可持续发展视为一个社会问题,与业务无关。要认识到可持续发展是一个组织问题,就需要公司应对转变为环境可持续企业的挑战。这就要求机构将使命宣言与价值观结合起来。本文的目的是复制以前在可持续性和影响这一过程的文化方面的研究。设计/方法论/方法-采用定性案例研究方法分析了美国中西部地区25家具有不同背景的组织,以确定其各自的文化如何影响其变革计划。具体来说,作者谈到了可持续发展变革的推动者,涉及他们的领导和文化,以及有利于(或阻碍)实施可持续发展倡议的因素。研究结果-最初的研究证明了七个背景条件的存在,这些条件在机构内嵌入可持续性的过程中很重要。这项研究发现了同样的维度;然而,15年后,它们的表现有所不同。实际意义-最初的研究提供了一个有点黑暗的可持续发展变化倡议的组织。然而,目前的研究;提供了一个更积极的观点,表明组织似乎在可持续性方面取得了进展。原创性/价值-这是一项重复性研究,我们在其中发现了类似的主题,即可能阻碍或促进可持续发展举措的背景因素的性质;然而,15年后的调查结果显示,目前的情况和执行可持续发展倡议的能力有明显的不同。

The greening of organizational culture: revisited fifteen years later
Purpose - Organizations have viewed sustainability as a societal problem and unrelated to business. To recognize sustainability as an organizational issue requires companies to deal with the challenge of transforming into environmentally sustainable enterprises. This requires institutions to align mission statements with values. The purpose of this paper is to replicate previous research in sustainability and the cultural facets which impact the process. Design/methodology/approach - A qualitative case study method was used to analyze 25 organizations within the US Midwest with various contexts to determine how their respective cultures impacted their change initiatives. Specifically, the authors spoke to sustainability change agents with regard to their leadership and culture, and the factors that are conducive to (or barriers to) implementing sustainability initiatives. Findings - The original study demonstrated the presence of seven contextual conditions which are important in the process of imbedding sustainability within the institution. This research found the same dimensions to be present; however, they manifested differently 15 years later. Practical implications - The original research offered a somewhat dark picture of the sustainability change initiatives within organizations. The current study however; offers a much more positive perspective which demonstrates organizations appear to have progressed with regard to sustainability. Originality/value - This is a replication study whereby we discovered similar themes as to the nature of contextual factors that can hinder or advance sustainability initiatives; however, the findings 15 years later show a marked difference in the current state of affairs and the ability to implement sustainability initiatives.
