“…One notable point in this regard is the fact that the keyword CSR (i.e., corporate social responsibility) is included as a recent emerging and relevant topic. The issue of CSR has grown in importance with many organizations adopting a range of initiatives that improve not only operational performance [44,45] but also the relationships that firms have with their community and stakeholders [46]. CSR practices are also used to respond to environmental and societal challenges so that more sustainable performance outcomes are achieved.…”

Abstract:The issue of sustainability is a vital long-term goal for organizations and as such has formed the basis of much academic research over the last two decades. Organizational sustainability is defined as the ability for an organization to accomplish a range of economic, environmental, and human performance objectives. As one of the most studied topics in organizational science, employee engagement at work is seen as a critical component to achieving sustainable organizational success. In order to better understand the employee engagement discourse, this study examined the keywords that appear in the titles and abstract of the employee engagement research domain using the burst detection and social network analysis techniques. A total of 1406 employee engagement relevant articles that were published from 1990 to 2015 were included and investigated in the study. The results revealed the fading, emerging, and central themes within the employee engagement domain.

“…Several scholars also suggest that OC plays a fundamental role in the implementation of CSR. In particular, a CSR‐oriented culture within organizations positively affects the effectiveness of CSR applications (Kalyar et al, ; Yu and Choi, ). This, in turn, influences the organizational members’ culture.…”

The Relationship between Organizational Culture and Energy Performance: A Municipal Energy Manager Level Study

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

For energy managers, finding personal meaning in the activities they are engaged in and gaining\ud an identity in connection between energy efficiency and organizational goals is a necessary\ud condition to mobilize passion and commitment, which in turn are fundamental to achieve\ud organizational goals under tight budget constraints. Despite this, little is known about how\ud municipalities, which are typical budget-constrained organizations, can enhance the empowerment\ud of employees with roles as energy managers. This paper draws from the literature on\ud the person–organization fit in order to adapt and test the hypothesis that multiple dimensions\ud of organizational culture are strong predictors of perceived managerial and technical energy performance.\ud Data from 729 questionnaire responses from energy managers of Italian municipalities\ud show that formalization, team orientation, innovation, centralization and reward systems are the\ud key elements that enable energy managers to act as business partners instead of task managers.\ud Causal relations are discussed and presented along with theoretical and policy implications that\ud can provide inspiration also to private organizations.

“…But are such initiatives gaining momentum and finding broader penetration? 2 Yu and Choi (2016) argue that stakeholder pressure must be complemented by state-intervention and educational-initiatives 1 The 2003 National Corporate Responsibility Index highlights Scandinavia's longstanding leadership role in CSR, with four of the top-five hailing from this region.See Page 28 of the Responsibility Competitive Index (2003). More recently, Cai et al (2016) identify factors relevant to cross-country variation in social reporting.…”

China's recent promotion of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has coincided with a marked increase in the number of Chinese listed firms attracting female board members and foreign equity investors. Using Rankins' (RKS) ratings over the 2009 to 2013 period, we show that greater gender balance in top-management supports stronger CSR performance. This finding broadens gender-based accounts emphasizing social networks (Westphal and Milton, 2000), Critical Mass Theory (Kramer et al., 2006;Bear et al., 2010;and Soares et al., 2011) and team dynamics (Woolley et al., 2010;and Hoogendoorn et al., 2013). Findings also reveal stronger CSR performance in firms with a female CEO. Female leadership thus appears to be just as important as gender mix in driving CSR change.CSR ratings are also increasing in foreign ownership levels. We examine whether a political-networking motivation underlies foreign investment (Du and Girma, 2010;Liu et al., 2014a;Lin et al., 2015;and Jiang and Kim, 2015). We argue that qualified foreign institutional investors (QFIIs) deploy socialengagement in non-SOEs to build competitive advantage. But in SOEs, where strong political networks already exist, QFIIs have less incentive to boost CSR ratings. However, results indicate little difference in the social ratings of QFII-invested SOEs and non-SOEs.Additionally, we confirm the Barnea and Rubin (2010) contention of an inversion in social ratings at entrenched managerial ownership levels. Non-linear rating effects also emerge in relation to state ownership (Li et al., 2013). Finally, CSR performance exhibits positive (negative) relation with a listed entity's size and age (leverage and lagged return-on-equity) but virtually no connection with independent board representation.
