Attitudes of employees in green companies regarding CSR communication

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to discern how the Best Green companies, as identified by Newsweek, communicate about green jobs within their companies.Design/methodology/approachContent analysis using NVivo software on 23 corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports containing 398,000 words and Glassdoor crowdsourced data were analyzed. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression enabled the discernment of relationships.FindingsSeveral models were developed to predict how communication patterns (employee-centered, production or company centered and society centered) are associated with several Glassdoor ratings: The models developed by logistic regression accurately predicted the following: Glassdoor ratings: Overall 65.2%, Benefits 71.4%, Attitudes towards Chief Executive Officer (CEO) 65.2% and Recommend To A Friend 78.3%.Originality/valueIt supports communicating about green jobs in CSR reports and suggests other avenues for communicating, including PR, press releases and career pages of company websites. The hypotheses that were empirically verified include the relationship between employees-centered terms (in the CSR reports) and employee attitudes (Glassdoor measures) and return on assets (ROA) (company financials). These practices have manpower impacts, including recruitment and retention. The study's methodology allows for replication since it used publicly available CSR reports, ROA of public companies and crowdsourcing data from Glassdoor ratings. It has implications for public policy in that understanding the nature of green jobs will improve outcomes for public training programs.

Disclosing sales compensation and its impacts on misleading sales behaviors: some observations from Taiwan’s life insurance salespeople

“…Customer-focused corporate social responsibility, moral intensity and misleading sales behaviors Since CSR is a critical corporate action made by top management, regular CSR actions will show that the top management stresses moral standards (LaVan et al, 2022). Life insurance salespeople are influenced by insurers' actions, and CSR is therefore related to life insurance salespeople's moral intensity.…”

Variables de la responsabilidad social corporativa. Un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales

“…Liderazgo (Bhumika et al, 2022;Jouber, 2022;Tosun et al, 2022) Valores organizacionales (Al-Shammari et al, 2022;Barchiesi y Fronzetti Colladon, 2021;Foncubierta-Rodríguez, 2022) Concepción estratégica (Akyıldız, 2021(Akyıldız, , 2021Anlesinya y Abugre, 2022) Diseño organizacional (Blasi y Sedita, 2022;Conte et al, 2022;Köseoglu et al, 2021) Comunicación institucional (Camilleri, 2022;Kim, 2022;LaVan et al, 2022) Competencias laborales (Karatas-Ozkan et al, 2022;Madero Gómez et al, 2022;Rintala et al, 2022) Satisfacción laboral (Miethlich et al, 2022;Silva et al, 2022;Trivellas et al, 2021) Del análisis anterior se pueden extraer las siguientes conclusiones: a modo de resumen, en la actualidad se profundiza más en los aspectos externos de la responsabilidad social y su impacto en el entorno y en menor medida se analizan las diversas variables internas que pueden influir en el grado de manifestación o desarrollo de la responsabilidad social; sin embargo, no se encontró, al menos de forma explícita, una investigación donde se estructure la relación existente entre las diversas dimensiones internas y su relación con la responsabilidad social. Partiendo de este análisis teórico, el problema de investigación a cuya solución se orientó la presente investigación fue en buscar la respuesta a la pregunta: ¿Qué nivel de correlación existe entre las variables que condicionan el grado de responsabilidad social corporativa de la organización objeto de estudio?…”

“…Los valores organizacionales y la comunicación institucional fueron otras dos dimensiones que mostraron niveles de correlación significativos. Ambas están influenciadas por el comportamiento de las dimensiones anteriormente analizadas y de igual modo han sido objeto de análisis y de corroboración de su influencia por investigaciones previas (Barchiesi y Fronzetti Colladon, 2021;Camilleri, 2022;Kim, 2022;LaVan et al, 2022;Miethlich et al, 2022;Al-Shammari et al, 2022;Foncubierta-Rodríguez, 2022).…”

Impact of environmental quality on designing green jobs in solid waste treatment projects in Jordan

“…Green jobs contribute to a more sustainable world, and work to support, enhance, preserve and restore environmental quality (Khan et al, 2019), while designing green jobs is the process of defining the tasks, duties, responsibilities, qualifications and relationships necessary to perform business in solid waste treatment projects (LaVan et al, 2022). Solid waste treatment projects sort and recycle solid waste collected by municipalities, and then reuse it (Shafaei et al, 2020).…”
