Las presiones institucionales del entorno medioambiental: aplicación a los campos de golf

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to contribute to empirically validate the influence of the Institutional Theory on organizational decisions of environmental character, in particular the pressures from the institutional environment that cause the development of environmentally sustainable practices. To do so, Andalusian golf courses have been taken as the unit of analysis and a model of ecological response has been proposed for the environment in which they operate. The Partial Least Square (PLS) technique has been used for testing purposes, verifying the basic tenets of that theoretical body.
