“…Following previous research analyzing stakeholder infl uences (Buysse & Verbeke, 2003;Cordano & Frieze, 2000;Flannery & May, 2000), we used Ajzen and Fishbein's (1980) approach to develop 18 items to generate our measure. We listed nine categories of identifi ed stakeholders based on exploratory interviews with experts in the ski industry in North American and European contexts.…”

Our study of 134 North American and European ski resorts examines the influence of externally focused organizational capabilities on the generation of proactive environmental strategies under contingent effects of uncertainty in the general business environment. We find that the capabilities of strategic proactivity and continuous innovation are associated with proactive environmental strategies. Managerial perceptions of uncertainty in the general business environment moderate the deployment of the capability of continuous innovation at all levels of uncertainty and stakeholder engagement at low and average levels of uncertainty. The study contributes to the resource‐based view (RBV) by illuminating an important contingency under which capabilities are likely to be deployed to generate a proactive corporate strategy.

Little is known about the factors underlying the pro-environmental behaviour of marketing managers. This paper explores the determinants of green marketing practices in the Red Sea hotel sector in Egypt. The research model assesses green marketing practices against the personal and organisational values of the marketing managers, together with a range of organisational and demographic variables expected to influence hotels' environmental behaviour. From a valid sample of 89 marketing managers responsible for 194 hotels it was found that organisational contextual variables, and in particular targeting Western tourists, being affiliated to an international hotel chain as well as the marketers' own demographics, including age, academic subject studied, and gender were the best predictors of more pro-active green marketing. Personal environmental values did not explain the pro-environmental environmental behaviour of marketers, and the organisational environmental values that had explained part of their ethical behaviour resulted from voluntarism rather than utilitarian or conformance-based values. Government policies also appeared to be ineffective determinants. The implications for green marketing practices are discussed.

“…Workplace crimes have often been studied on the basis of crimes committed (e.g., Ambrose et al 2002, Clinard and Quinney 1973, Greenberg 2002, individual or group involvement (e.g., Daboub et al 1995, Pinto et al 2008, Szwajkowski 1985, victims (e.g., Aquino and Bradfield 2000, Bennett and Robinson 2000, Warren 2003, organizational position (blue-collar versus white-collar) of the perpetrator (e.g., Aguilera and Vadera 2008, Clinard 1983, Sutherland 1940, as well as on the basis of crimes specific to a particular industry (Calavita et al 1997, Flannery andMay 2000).…”

“…As noted in the introduction, there is a dizzying number of ways to conceptualize and categorize the various crimes under the rubric of "workplace crimes." Part of this proliferation of schemes may stem, in part, from viewing workplace crimes in terms of crimes committed (e.g., Ambrose et al 2002, Clinard and Quinney 1973, Greenberg 2002, involvement in crimes (e.g., Daboub et al 1995, Pinto et al 2008, Szwajkowski 1985, victims of the crimes (e.g., Robinson 2000, Warren 2003), characteristics of the perpetrator (e.g., Aguilera and Vadera 2008, Clinard 1983, Sutherland 1940, as well as on the basis of crimes specific to a particular industry (Calavita et al 1997, Flannery andMay 2000). Implicit in some of these conceptualizations, however, is the basic intention of whether the organization will be harmed, benefited, or ignored.…”

A lthough research has shown that there may be very different types of workplace crimes, scholarly work in this area (a) is currently fragmented with very little communication between very similar streams of research and (b) tends to be incomplete and can lead to conflicting findings. We address both of these shortcomings. First, we propose a typology of different types of workplace crimes (consisting of pro-organizational, nonaligned-organizational, and anti-organizational crimes) based on the intentions of the perpetrators. Second, we link these intentions to various identification "pathologies"-such as over-identification and over-disidentification, under-identification and ambivalent identification-and argue that these pathologies are linked to propensities to commit certain types of workplace crimes. Specifically, we contend that over-identification and over-disidentification have direct effects on workplace crimes, whereas under-identification and ambivalent identification indirectly influence the propensity to engage in workplace crimes. We suggest that this research aids us in clarifying the inconsistent conclusions in previous work in the domain of workplace crimes and that it emphasizes the importance of including organizational identification as a key factor in the extant models of workplace crimes. This research also highlights policy implications regarding workplace crimes in that it suggests that different agencies may be more effective in enforcing the law and disciplining those engaged in the different types of workplace crimes. IntroductionIn the wake of several corporate scandals, there has been a renewed interest in better understanding workplace crimes. In addition to reputation-based costs, U.S. corporations estimate that they lose 5% of their revenues because of workplace crimes (Association of Certified Fraud Examiners 2010). In dollar terms, this figure translates to approximately $2.9 trillion in losses, with more than one quarter of companies losing at least $1 million. Even after Enron and similarly salient instances of misconduct, episodes of workplace crime remain high (Ethics Resource Center 2009). In fact, a 2008-2009 study on ethics in the workplace revealed that "nearly three out of four employees (74%) report that they have personally observed or have firsthand knowledge of wrongdoing within their organizations during the previous 12 months" (KPMG 2009, p. iii).Such significant losses provide renewed motivation to better understand the underpinnings of workplace crimes so that episodes of such activity can be minimized. However, attempts to explore the antecedents of workplace crimes have been hindered in at least two ways. 1996). Further, research in this area is fragmented and is conducted in silos with very little communication between similar streams of scholarly work. Thus, broad-brush approaches to understanding all workplace crimes are often limited in scope . Second, although the investigation of the precursors of workplace crimes has informed our knowledge of the cond...
