“…Organizational actors cannot internalize all the logics in these pluralistic fields, so some become more internalized than others, with different bearings on managerial action. Actors also deploy their own personal values and beliefs, along with organizational values, to influence organizational responses to the broader institutional environment (Bansal, ; Sánchez‐Medina and Díaz‐Pichardo, ).…”

Different forms of stakeholder pressures drive different environmental strategies in organizations. This article differentiates between internal and external normative stakeholder pressures to test their potentially unique effects on environmental strategies. The findings suggest that internal, normative stakeholder pressures primarily drive substantive commitments to environmental practices, reflecting an internalized, voluntary commitment to the natural environment and dedication to environmental leadership by the firm. External, normative pressures instead primarily drive symbolic commitments to environmental practices, aimed at managing the image of the organization to establish and reinforce an appearance of commitment to the natural environment. This novel perspective accounts for the institutionally plural contexts of organizations and their environments, in which internal pressures directly drive substantive environmental commitments and external pressures drive symbolic responses.

“…The growing environmental degradation and resource depletion have become puzzling issues around the globe in recent times (Hsu et al, 2013;S anchez-Medina and D ıaz-Pichardo, 2017). Kleindorfer et al (2005) and Porter and Kramer (2006) posit that firms are considered as socially responsible when they adopt strategies to reduce the adverse effect of their operations on the environment and the health and safety of the society.…”

PurposeThe increasing concern for the protection of the environment through pollution prevention, conservation of resources and less usage of energy has attracted several firms to align green practices with their supply chain and human resource policies and practices. This study explores the influence of green human resource management and green supply chain management practices on operational, market, financial, social and environmental performances.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses partial least square–structural equation modeling approach to analyze the data gathered through structured questionnaires from supply chain and human resource managers in manufacturing and hospitality firms in Ghana.FindingsIt is established that green supply chain management practices play complementary partial mediating role between green human resource management and operational, market, social and environmental performances, while it plays competitive partial mediating role between green human resource management and financial performance. Subsequently, the analysis reveals that the synergy between green human resource management and green supply chain management creates the highest value in operational performance, followed by market performance, environmental performance, financial performance and social performance.Originality/valueThe study proposes and tests a conceptual model that examines the synergistic influence of green human resource management and green supply chain management on operational, market, financial, social and environmental performances.

“…The successful application of VBN theory on craft artisan business owners supports its future use in small business research, where owner/manager values have been found to be important drivers of pro-environmental behavior (Jenkins, 2006; Sánchez-Medina & Diaz-Pichardo, 2017). The inclusion of conservation and openness to change values in this study resulted in both significant and strong direct negative relationships between conservation values and environmental beliefs, as well as indirect negative relationships to personal norms and pro-environmental behaviors.…”

“…Contemporary craft making tends to have an aesthetic specific to the artisan maker as opposed to a cultural or ethnic one (Dawkins, 2011). While previous researchers of craft business have focused on traditional and cultural craft productions or on consumers (Lee & Delong, 2017; Littrell & Dickson, 1998; Sánchez-Medina & Díaz-Pichardo, 2017; Zhan et al, 2017), little research has been conducted on contemporary craft artisans and their pro-environmental business practices. Pro-environmental behaviors differ by firm size as well as by industry type (Banerjee, 2001; Jenkins, 2006).…”

Factors Influencing Pro-Environmental Behaviors in Craft Businesses

Since the Arts and Crafts Movement in the early twentieth century, discourse on craft has revolved around conflicts over industrialization. The current craft movement builds on these same responses to the industrialized world while also addressing environmental issues and sustainability. However, authors of craft literature rarely address the pro-environmental business practices of craft artisans or the motivational drivers of such behaviors. In this study, we aim to rectify this imbalance by contributing to an expanded understanding of value and belief drivers of pro-environmental behaviors. The value-belief-norm theory of environmentalism is used to outline the causal influences of pro-environmental behaviors in craft businesses, and our findings support the use of the model. Craft business owners' pro-environmental behaviors are a result of a causal relationship from values to beliefs, through feelings of obligation to act in pro-environmental ways.
