Abstract

Because corporate social responsibility (CSR) is potentially beneficial for companies, it is important to understand the factors that improve a company’s CSR practice. Scholars hypothesize that facilitating learning organization characteristics, which are divided in characteristics at the organizational and the operational level, may improve CSR implementation. These characteristics stimulate companies and their members to be critical, learn from the past, and embrace change, but there is limited empirical evidence of this approach. This study addresses this gap by surveying 280 CSR professionals and performing bootstrap mediation analyses to test multiple hypotheses. Learning organization characteristics at the organizational level, play a key role in supporting CSR implementation: leadership for learning, system connection, and group learning show a direct relationship with CSR implementation. It is striking that the role of the learning organization characteristics at the operational level is only indirect; the organizational characteristics mediate their relationship with CSR implementation.
实施企业社会责任的学习型组织:揭示组织与运作型学习型组织特征之间的复杂关系
由于企业社会责任(CSR)对企业有潜在的好处,因此了解改善企业社会责任实践的因素很重要。学者们假设,促进学习型组织特征(分为组织和运营层面的特征)可以改善企业社会责任的实施。这些特征促使公司及其成员持批评态度,从过去吸取教训,并接受变革,但这种方法的经验证据有限。这项研究通过调查280名CSR专业人士并进行引导中介分析来检验多个假设,从而解决了这一差距。学习型组织特征在组织层面对支持企业社会责任的实施起着关键作用:领导学习、系统连接和团队学习与企业社会责任实施有直接关系。值得注意的是,学习型组织特征在运作层面的作用只是间接的;组织特征介导了它们与企业社会责任实施的关系。
