“…Relationships are identified using qualitative analysis with its scope for rich description, and typically also involve some type of quantitative analysis, on occasion using multivariate techniques (Kaplan and Kearney, 1997). Attributing spatial analogies to conceptual domains has been criticised by some authors (Koltko‐Rivera, 2005). Accordingly, in this instance, care was taken not to overstate the importance of structural dimensions of conceptually‐based cognitive maps.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the meaning of sustainable development held by New Zealand “thought leaders” and “influencers” promoting sustainability, business, or sustainable business. It seeks to compare inductively derived worldviews with theories associated with sustainability and the humanity‐nature relationship.Design/methodology/approachWorldviews were explored through a cognitive mapping exercise. A total of 21 thought leaders and influencers constructed maps of their understanding of sustainable development. These maps were analysed to reveal commonalities and differences.FindingsParticipant maps illustrated disparate levels of detail and complexity. Those participants promoting business generally emphasized the economic domain, accepting economic growth and development as the key to sustainable development. An emphasis on the environmental domain, the future, limits to the Earth's resources, and achievement through various radical means, was more commonly articulated by those promoting sustainability. Participants promoting sustainable business held elements of both approaches, combining an emphasis on the environmental domain and achievement of sustainable development by various reformist means.Research limitations/implicationsThis study identified the range of worldviews expressed by 21 thought leaders and influencers across three main domains only – promoters of sustainability, business or both. Extending this sample and exploring how these and other views arise and are represented within a wider population could be the subject of further research.Practical implicationsSuch divergence of opinion as to what connotes sustainable development across even a small sample does not bode well for its achievement. The elucidation of the worldview of promoters of sustainable business points to the need to consider more carefully the implications of environmentalism, and other aspects of sustainability, integrated into a business agenda.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to empirical research on environmental worldviews which has barely penetrated discussion of sustainability within the management and business literature. It shows cognitive mapping to be an effective technique for investigating the meaning of a conceptual theme like sustainable development.

“…In the literature, basic assumptions are described, for example, in terms of the interpersonal relationships that they address, i.e. what forms of relationship a person prefers (Koltko‐Rivera, 2000). The results of this study may shed some light on the type of interpersonal relationships that hospitality employees would prefer to use with guests.…”

“…In addition to defining what goals one can seek in life, basic assumptions define what goals one should pursue. Basic assumptions also define proper or improper types of behaviour and relationships (Koltko‐Rivera, 2000). In the organisational context, employees' basic assumptions constitute a company's “theory of the business”: they shape employees' behaviour, influence decisions about proper or improper behaviour, and define what the management considers as meaningful results (Drucker, 2006).…”

“…In this literature, the dimensions of basic assumptions are identified in relation to human nature, will, behaviour, interpersonal relations, and the world in general. For example, Koltko‐Rivera (2000) conceptualised a person's assumptions as a six‐dimensional construct, where:mutability refers to the possibility of changing human nature;agency is the degree to which behaviour is chosen or determined;relation to authority identifies hierarchical versus egalitarian partnerships;relation to group assesses priority given to individual goals versus reference group goals;locus of responsibility describes perceived responsibility for the person's situation in life; andmetaphysics refers to the reality or unreality of a spiritual dimension in life.Work‐related assumptions are the products of socialisation into an organisational or a professional culture; therefore, they are studied within the framework of human resources management (Deadrick and Gibson, 2009). Most authors in their attempt to assess work‐related assumptions have applied assumptions about life in general to the organisational context (e.g.…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to develop and validate a measure of employee basic assumptions about guests and co-workers in the hospitality industry. Design/methodology/approach -Data were collected from two independent samples using self-administrated questionnaires and analysed using correlational and reliability analyses, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and one-way ANOVA. Findings -The analyses identified two dimensions of basic assumptions about guests, control and affect. Assumptions about co-workers also consisted of two main dimensions termed responsibility and competence. The results showed that assumptions about guest control positively correlated with subjective job performance; assumptions about guest affect and co-worker competence positively correlated with organisational commitment and job satisfaction; and assumptions about co-worker responsibility positively correlated with intentions to stay with the organisation.Research limitations/implications -The findings are based on a limited sample of service employees. Even though hospitality employees' basic assumptions about guests and co-workers are validated in a service context, the suggested conceptualisation still needs a more comprehensive validation. Assumptions about competitors may be important determinants of hospitality employees' behaviour towards guests, and such assumptions should be analysed in future studies. Originality/value -The present study is the first to investigate simultaneously assumptions about guests and co-workers in a hospitality environment and the effect that such assumptions have on outcome variables. Altogether, the study demonstrates that basic assumptions may be a viable construct for HR management. They are easily identifiable and related to employee job satisfaction, job performance, organisational commitment, and staff turnover intentions.

“…This kind of articulation of the concept of worldview is motivated when its categories are formulated in scales to be tested. Proposals include, among others, the Worldview Assessment Instrument with 10 variables and 42 items (Koltko-Rivera, 2000, the Worldview Analysis Scale (Obasi, 2002), the Scale to Assess World View (Ibrahim & Owen, 1994) the Integrative Worldview Framework (Hedlund-de Witt, 2012), or the Cultural Worldview Scale (Choi et al, 2007). As an example, since it is shorter in items than the Worldview Assessment Instrument, the Scale to Assess World View (Ibrahim & Owen, 1994) identified anthropology, human nature (good, bad, or a combination), social relationships (lineal-hierarchical, collateral-mutual, or individualistic), nature (harmony, control, or power), time (past, present, or future), and activity (being, being-in-becoming, doing) as components.…”

A worldview is, very basically, formed by tenets on the nature of the world and on the way of knowing it held by persons, social groups, intellectual currents or ethnic cultures. It is a term widely used in social sciences, but often left aside in daily research work because of being considered a vague term. Lax definitions are the reason, but such symbolic worlds will not disappear even if we do not refer to them, and we need operational and heuristic conceptualizations, both to analyze such symbolic parameters as a study objective and to refer to them as the appropriate understanding contexts of other topics. Here, definitions with a multidimensional structure that imply heuristic potential are specified as a solution; previous proposals are reviewed; the needs for improvement are set out; and a consequent conceptualization is proposed. Then onto-epistemic tenets of the main cultures on Earth and of history are briefly described as such worldviews, a case in Basque culture tested to assess the heuristic potential, and an outstanding ‘transversal’ implication is advanced: worldviews should not only be considered multidimensional concepts with heuristic potential, but also formed with areas around prototypes by cognitive-linguistic operators across the tenets.
