“The impact of stakeholder relations on the environmental policy of the public sector” (7/8)

Abstract

Despite management researchers’ recognition of the importance of stakeholder relationships in shaping various types of organizational policies, empirical assessment of these relationships remains sparse, especially in the context of environmental sustainability. Instead, management science emphasized stakeholder theory more broadly. Moreover, most of this scholarship focuses on private sector organizations. This study aims to fill both research gaps by illustrating the underlying mechanisms that cause public organizations to respond to the various pressures exerted by their stakeholder relationships. It then empirically assesses how differences in stakeholder relationships are related to public organizations’ decisions to adopt different environmental sustainability policies – comprehensive or incremental policies. Finally, it provides important, practical information about the types of relationships public organizations may need to implement sustainability policies that are more likely to achieve global climate goals.
