This paper simultaneously examines how the design of management control systems and top management team composition help organizations to implement environmental sustainability policies successfully. It also analyzes the effect of those policies on both short-term and long-term performance. A questionnaire was sent to every member of top management teams in 231 public hospitals in Spain. It obtained 457 useful responses from TMT members, allowing us to collect data on 81 full top management teams (35.06%). The partial least squares statistical technique was used to test the causal research model. It was found that the implementation of environmental sustainability policies has a negative effect on short-term organizational performance and a positive effect on long-term performance. The results show that management control systems and top management team diversity have a complementary effect on implementing policies focused on environmental sustainability. A broad design of management control systems helps organizations adopt sustainability policies to achieve long-term performance. It was also found that top management team diversity mitigates the negative effect of adopting environmental sustainability policies on short-term organizational performance.

Research Abstract BackgroundPrimary care is increasingly interested in the identification of frailty, as it selects the target population for integrated care. However, instruments for the identification of frailty specifically validated for use in primary care are scarce. This study developed the Easycare Two-step Older persons Screening (Easycare-TOS), which provides a valid, efficient, and pragmatic screening procedure to identify frail older people.

“…Healthcare costs are increasing all over the world, prompting health services to seek reduced hospital admission and readmission rates, shorter lengths of stay, and postponement of admission to nursing homes. 3 This pressure to reduce the costs of health and social services for an ageing population is causing problems for primary care, for a number of reasons.…”
