Environmental management intentions: An empirical investigation of Argentina's polluting firms

Corporate Greening beyond Formal Programs, Initiatives, and Systems: A Conceptual Model for Voluntary Pro‐environmental Behavior of Employees

“…Similarly, research on ethical behavior in organizations discusses the ‘moral motivation’ of employees (Treviño et al ., ). Although personal predispositions are theoretically expected to play an exceptionally important role in explaining pro‐environmental behavior within companies (e.g., Ramus and Killmer, ; Scherbaum et al ., ; Tudor et al ., ; Gadenne et al ., ; Vazquez Brust and Liston‐Heyes, ), the literature only sporadically includes personal moral obligations in a systematic way (for an exception see Flannery and May, ). We think that this is a serious omission, especially within the context of explaining VPBE, for the following reasons.…”

“…We assume that this is at least partly due to the fact that researchers argue that most behaviors in the corporate sphere are highly dependent on contextual (organizational) influences and that norms do not play a central role for the explanation of these behaviors. However, in the literature on corporate greening and environmental management, individual concern (e.g., Bansal and Roth, ) as well as personal norms and values (e.g., Vazquez Brust and Liston‐Heyes, ) are identified as drivers of sustainability. Nevertheless, most of the literature on corporate greening and environmental management does not specify these norms or values and does not precisely distinguish between them.…”

“…Research exploring this question can be roughly divided into two domains. First, external determinants beyond the direct sphere of corporate influence, such as legislation and stakeholder pressure (González‐Benito and González‐Benito, ; Gadenne et al ., ), media attention (Bansal, ), market structures (Vazquez Brust and Liston‐Heyes, ), and dimensions of the general competitive environment like uncertainty or complexity (Aragón‐Correa and Sharma, ) are discussed. Second, company‐ internal determinants are also considered.…”

Stakeholder Perspectives on CSR of Mining MNCs in Argentina

“…Companies from developed countries place their environmental obligations primarily within legal or economic domain of CSR. While companies from developing countries, where regulation and enforcement are looser, tend to frame environmental issues as ethical or discretionary responsibility (Gorrochategui 2010;Vazquez-Brust and Liston-Heyes 2010).…”

“…Using interpretative analysis of interviews, this article then discusses an extended model of CSR (consistent of economic, ethical, environmental, legal, and philanthropic responsibilities) and explores how mining companies negotiate corporate responsibilities with local stakeholders. This article offers a discussion on relational contract between mining companies and other actors, and in its conclusions examines the implications of the extended CSR model to emerging economies in the region, where concerns for development and environment are shared amongst, as examined by Vazquez-Brust and Liston-Heyes (2010) and Lindgreen and Córdoba (2010), and provides suggestions for further research.…”
