Abstract

The debate on carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction strategies for a sustainable environment continues unabated. Thus, this study proposes and validates a model for understanding essential factors that can explain resistance to managers' bus‐sharing system (MBS). MBS is a sustainability strategy where organizations have well‐maintained buses to transport 10–15 managers to and from work. By drawing on an extended status quo bias theory, the study sampled and analyzed 234 responses from managers using the partial least square structural equation modeling. The results show that perceived switching benefits (PSWB) and perceived switching costs (PSWC) relate to perceived value and influence resistance to the proposed MBS. Meanwhile, managers' family/personal life conflicts and perceived prestige concerns increase the PSWC. These findings have essential theoretical implications for sustainability scholarship and inform organizations to adopt family‐friendly policies to reduce resistance to MBS.

共享就是爱护环境：但为什么管理者要抵制共享交通？

关于减少二氧化碳（CO2）以实现可持续环境的战略的讨论仍在继续。因此，本研究提出并验证了一个模型，以了解能够解释抵制管理人员巴士共享系统（MBS）的基本因素。公共汽车共享系统是一项可持续发展战略，在这一系统中，各组织配备了维护良好的公共汽车，接送 10-15 名管理人员上下班。本研究借鉴了扩展的现状偏差理论，采用偏最小二乘法结构方程模型对 234 个管理人员的回答进行了抽样和分析。结果表明，感知转换收益（PSWB）和感知转换成本（PSWC）与感知价值有关，并影响着对拟议的公共交通服务的抵制。同时，管理者的家庭/个人生活冲突和对声望的关注会增加 PSWC。这些发现对可持续发展学术研究具有重要的理论意义，并为组织采用家庭友好型政策以减少对管理咨询服务的抵制提供了参考。

期刊介绍： Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
