「The Influence of Stakeholder Relations on Public Sector Environmental Policies」（7/8）
Abstract
Despite management scholars’ acknowledged importance of stakeholder relations in shaping different types of organizational policies, empirical assessment of these relations remains scarce, particularly in the context of environmental sustainability. Instead, management scholarship has emphasized the importance of stakeholder theory more broadly. Moreover, most of this scholarship focuses on private sector organizations. This study aims to fill both research gaps by illustrating the underlying mechanisms that cause public organizations to respond to different pressures exerted by their stakeholder relations. It then empirically assesses how variations in these stakeholder relations are associated with public organizations’ decisions to adopt different environmental sustainability policies – comprehensive vs. incremental policies. Finally, it offers important practical information about the types of relations that public organizations may need to foster to implement sustainability policies that are more likely to achieve global climate goals.
