Abstract

Increasingly, firms need to cope with challenges related to sustainability and ecological transformation while also experiencing an ongoing transformation by implementing New Work forms, a trend even more accelerated by the Covid 19 pandemic. The current study submits the concept of an ‘Organizational Sustainability Identity’ (OSI). It represents a firm's holistic inclination toward sustainability and the ecological transformation. New Work, often understood to advance work satisfaction, creativity, and entrepreneurship might particularly facilitate the evolvement of an OSI, such as by providing more autonomous and humane work while lowering CO2 emissions. We systematically examine New Work related to home offices, coworking spaces, and hybrid multilocal work at the backdrop of supporting the construction of an OSI. In essence, New Work can contribute to the evolvement of an OSI by improving humane work, bridging factual activities that reduce CO2 emissions, and especially by supporting social interactions which facilitate the construction of a shared identity.

组织可持续性身份:家庭办公室和共同工作空间作为促进者的“新工作”
企业越来越需要应对与可持续性和生态转型相关的挑战,同时通过实施新工作形式进行持续转型,这一趋势因2019冠状病毒病大流行而加速。目前的研究提出了“组织可持续性认同”(OSI)的概念。它代表了公司对可持续发展和生态转型的整体倾向。新工作通常被理解为提高工作满意度、创造力和企业家精神,可能特别有助于OSI的发展,例如在降低二氧化碳排放的同时提供更多自主和人性化的工作。在支持OSI建设的背景下,我们系统地研究了与家庭办公室、联合办公空间和混合多本地工作相关的新工作。从本质上讲,新工作可以通过改善人性化的工作,连接减少二氧化碳排放的实际活动,特别是通过支持有助于构建共享身份的社会互动,来促进OSI的发展。
