“…Previous research has paid special attention to how national culture determines specific decisions made by managers. For example, cultural characteristics have been found to influence the type of corporate investment made by firms (Shao et al, 2013), the adoption of codes of good governance (Haxhi and Van Ees, 2010), corporate social responsibility investments (Ling, 2019), the commitment to unprofitable projects (Fehrenbacher et al, 2018), and compensation practices based on status, performance, social benefits and employee ownership plans (Schuler and Rogovsky, 1998). Exploring how culture affects the adoption of ISO 14001 may refine our knowledge about the consequences of culture on strategic choices, in general, and on the diffusion of environmental standards, in particular.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how national cultures contribute to explain the uneven diffusion of ISO 14001 across countries. The paper focuses on two of the cultural dimensions developed by the global leadership and organizational behavior effectiveness (GLOBE) project, namely, performance orientation and institutional collectivism. Design/methodology/approach A database containing information about the diffusion of ISO 14001 in 52 countries during the period 1999–2016 was built to carry out this research. The countries considered in this study represent about 90 percent of worldwide ISO 14001 certifications. The information was gathered from publicly available data sources: the ISO Survey, published every year by the International Organization for Standardization, the world development indicators of the World Bank, the cultural dimensions of the GLOBE project and the Index of Economic Freedom provided by The Heritage Foundation. Findings This research finds that both performance orientation and institutional collectivism influence the diffusion of ISO 14001. Whereas performance orientation slows down the diffusion of ISO 14001, institutional collectivism speeds it up. Additionally, this research shows that the slowing effect of performance orientation decreases in strength over time, while the accelerating effect of institutional collectivism becomes stronger. Originality/value The study adds to the understanding of the influence of national culture on the diffusion of environmental management standards, with an emphasis on ISO 14001. A key contribution of this research is that it explores how the influence of cultural dimensions change over time as a result of the development and maturation of ISO 14001.

“…Many research studies have been conducted in economically developed countries, although only a limited number of studies on CSR have taken place in transitional and post-transitional countries (Fifka & Pobizhan, 2014). In countries with fast economic growth (Wu, 2013), or in those with economic systems in the process of transition and adaptation to new legislation, new business practices, and the multinational market, companies may have serious problems understanding CSR and its role in sustainable business models (Stoian & Zaharia, 2012;Doh et al, 2015;Amodu, 2018;Ling, 2019). Also, researchers have shown that national culture values have a significant impact on the attitudes over the organizational culture (Taras et al, 2011).…”

The paper presents the results of an international research on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) conducted in post-transitional countries in Europe. The aim was to investigate the recognition level of the efforts in companies toward CSR activities by employees and their influence on perception and identification with those activities. It was expected that employees with a higher level of CSR awareness would show a greater level of loyalty and identification with the company and, therefore, perform their activities better. A number of significant issues were investigated, i.e. the purpose of CSR implementation, CSR activities in companies, barriers for CSR implementation, employee loyalty, and the performance of companies, along with how these factors are interconnected. CSR was accessed from the point of view of employees through a questionnaire, after which the proposed conceptual model and hypothesis were tested using SEM methodology. The results point out that a clearly defined purpose of implementing CSR can contribute positively to appropriate CSR activities and overcoming the barriers that can occur during implementation. In addition, statistical evidence was gathered showing that CSR activities significantly influence employee loyalty, thus more commitment from employees to the company. Finally, the findings indicate that the greater the loyalty of employees, the greater the performance and competitiveness of the company. The presented results can be very significant for decision-makers and researchers, as they highlight the specificity of CSR and can be used for creating appropriate business strategies that introduce and implement CSR in business operations in order to increase competitiveness and overall company results.
