“…Managers involved in these processes are able to identify with diverse representatives of the stakeholder community and make their variant manifestations, needs and concerns intrinsic to their own being. 14 The outcome is both an enriched understanding of the 'faith dynamics' that are at work at management levels and an expanded scope of moral considerations relevant to the view of economic and human activities as inextricably linked with social and ecological systems (Gladwin et al 1995;Harris and Freeman 2008).…”

“…One criticism that can be levelled at much of the theoretical contributions to sustainability management from a cognitive economics perspective is their reliance on a rather parsimonious characterisation of the worlds of cognition and morality (Harris and Freeman 2008;Paquet 1998). They reflect, or perhaps stem from, a static view of the world (Roome and Louche 2016), a set of pessimistic assumptions about the role of individual morality in business and a climate of relative 'apostasy' in sustainability management that are likely to make little real difference in the decisional behaviour of organisations (Ghoshal 2005;Singer 2016).…”

On the Role of Faith in Sustainability Management: A Conceptual Model and Research Agenda

The objective of this article is to develop a faith development perspective on corporate sustainability. A firm's management of sustainability is arguably determined by the way decision-makers relate to the other and the natural environment, and this relationship is fundamentally shaped by faith. This study advances theoretical understanding of the approach managers take on sustainability issues by explaining how four distinct phases of faith development-improvidence, obedience, irreverence and providence-determine a manager's disposition towards sustainability. Combining insights from intentional and relational faith development theories, the analysis reveals that a manager's faith disposition can be measured according to four interrelated process criteria: (1) connectivity as a measure of a manager's actual engagement and activities aimed at relating to sustainability; (2) inclusivity as a measure of who and what is included or excluded in a manager's moral consideration; (3) emotional affinity as a measure of a manager's sensitivity and affection towards the well-being of others and ecological welfare; and (4) reciprocity as a measure of the degree to which a manager is rewarded for responding to the needs and concerns of 'Others', mainly in the form of a positive emotional (and relational) stimulus. The conceptual model consolidates earlier scholarly works on the psychological drivers of sustainability management by illuminating our search for a process of faith development that connects with an increasingly complex understanding of the role of business in society.

“…Especialmente ahora, con la grave crisis económica que asola el planeta, se deben poner en pié con firmeza estas ideas y concebir las empresas no como el sistema ca pitalista ha venido haciendo hasta ahora, como una maquinaria para ganar dinero para los financiadores (accionistas, socios capitalistas, propietarios), sino como una es tructura capaz de aportar valor a todos sus interlocutores (Harris y Freeman, 2008).…”

ResumenLa aparición de (1) internet, (2) las redes sociales, (3) los dispositivos móviles de acceso a las redes y de (4) numerosas aplicaciones de software y de (5) plataformas específicamente diseñadas para promover la interacción social ha provocado la aparición de un fenómeno nuevo de gran relevancia: la reputación online. En los últimos años se ha comenzado a generar un corpus teórico y de investigación muy rele vante en esta área (e.g. Masun y Tovey, 2012). En esta investigación, proponemos un modelo psicoso cial explicativo de este fenómeno, partiendo del paradigma de la psicología evolutiva. Aplicando el método del caso único mediante monitorización online, se analiza empíricamente el sector considerado uno de los más activos dentro del entorno del social media (Online Reputation Management, 2012: web) y se plantean futuras líneas de investigación. Palabras clave: Reputación online, psicología de la comunicación, social media, monitorización online. Psychosocial Basis of the Online Reputation: a Proposal for a Model and a Case Study AbstractThe appearance of (1) Internet (2) social networks (3) mobile devices access to networks and (4) nu merous applications and software (5) platforms specifically designed to promote social interaction has led the emergence of a new phenomenon of great relevance: online reputation. In recent years it has begun to generate a body of theory and very relevant research in this area (eg. Masun and Tovey, 2012). In this research, we propose a psychosocial model explaining this phenomenon, based on the paradigm of evolutionary psychology. Applying the case method by monitoring online, we empirically analyzed one of the sectors considered the most active in the social media environment (Online Reputation Man agement: Web, 2012) and we proposed future research. Keywords IntroducciónLa psicología de la comunicación desde el paradigma de la psicología evolutiva pro pone que la conducta comunicativa de los sujetos consiste en relaciones mutuas de interacción triádica recíproca entre emisor, receptor y entorno social. Se trata de una conducta dinámica y pro activa respecto a su entorno. El paradigma subraya la fina lidad de la conducta comunicativa (o funcionalidad). Esta finalidad consiste, básica mente, en optimizar la obtención de refuerzos disminuyendo los castigos, siempre en un entorno competitivo, donde el componente adaptativo es esencial. Es un para digma, pues, evolutivo, funcionalista, adaptativo.

“…Aupperle (1984) finds a trade-off in the managerial analysis process regarding the company's economic and ethical responsibilities. This trade-off is defined as "separation thesis", and it expects the possibility of taking business decisions that do not imply ethical and social consequences (Harris and Freeman, 2008). Wood (2010) notes that research on the relationship between CSP and CFP and "business cases" are based on a normative and systematic vision of the CSP, as it is made up of a series of policies and actions that companies should implement in addition to commitment for the achievement of economic objectives.…”

The "Virtuous Circle" Between Corporate Social Performance and Corporate Financial Performance in the European Banking Sector

This paper analyses the relationship between Corporate Social Performance (CSP) and Corporate Financial Performance (CFP) in the European banking sector. The good management approach and the slack resources approach have been tested, and the paper aims to verify the existence of a "virtuous circle" between the two performance measures. The econometric analysis, based on panel data, is performed on a sample of 71 listed banks (EU28) in the period between 2011 and 2015. The main findings show a positive influence of CSP on CFP, confirming the good management approach. However, the results demonstrate a negative influence of CFP on CSP, which generates the impossibility of confirming the theoretical assumptions of the slack resources approach. Therefore, the existence of a "virtuous circle" deriving from the integration of the two approaches is not supported.
