Abstract

Implementing sustainability is a complex and challenging process that requires the collaboration and commitment of multiple stakeholders within supply chains. Existing research has largely overlooked the role of individual employees who can act as change agents and proactively initiate and facilitate sustainability initiatives. In this paper, we propose a proactive job design perspective to understand how these sustainability champions can balance the demands and resources related to sustainability in and across organizations. We suggest that they can use a combination of self- and partner-focused sustainability regulation strategies to influence the sustainability resources of their supply chain partners and create inter-organizational Job Demands-Resources dynamics that can enhance or hinder sustainability implementation. We develop a set of propositions that can guide future research on this topic and offer practical implications for organizations that want to foster employee proactivity and sustainability in their supply chains.

可持续发展倡导者：从积极主动的角度看可持续发展实施过程中的组织间工作设计动态

实施可持续发展是一个复杂而具有挑战性的过程，需要供应链中多个利益相关者的合作和承诺。现有的研究在很大程度上忽视了员工个人的作用，他们可以作为变革的推动者，积极主动地发起和推动可持续发展倡议。在本文中，我们提出了一种积极主动的工作设计视角，以了解这些可持续发展倡导者如何在组织内部和组织之间平衡与可持续发展相关的需求和资源。我们认为，他们可以结合使用以自我和合作伙伴为中心的可持续发展调控策略，来影响其供应链合作伙伴的可持续发展资源，并创造组织间的工作需求-资源动态，从而加强或阻碍可持续发展的实施。我们提出了一系列命题，这些命题可以指导未来对这一主题的研究，并为希望在供应链中促进员工主动性和可持续性的组织提供实际意义。

期刊介绍： Organizational Psychology Review is a quarterly, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by SAGE in partnership with the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology. Organizational Psychology Review’s unique aim is to publish original conceptual work and meta-analyses in the field of organizational psychology (broadly defined to include applied psychology, industrial psychology, occupational psychology, organizational behavior, personnel psychology, and work psychology).Articles accepted for publication in Organizational Psychology Review will have the potential to have a major impact on research and practice in organizational psychology. They will offer analyses worth citing, worth following up on in primary research, and worth considering as a basis for applied managerial practice. As such, these should be contributions that move beyond straight forward reviews of the existing literature by developing new theory and insights. At the same time, however, they should be well-grounded in the state of the art and the empirical knowledge base, providing a good mix of a firm empirical and theoretical basis and exciting new ideas.
