Antecedents and Consequences of ESG from an Organizational Perspective
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
ESG is a powerful competitive strategy that has emerged as a prime target for many companies, spearheading social and environmental changes valued by the public. Previously, many studies have reported that consumers’ perceived values (i.e., social, economic, ethical values, etc.) influence CSR perception or value co-creation. However, we need to further explore what causes the positive perception of ESG among the constituents (i.e., employees, stockholders, suppliers and the public) from diverse backgrounds, drawing on psychology, sociology and behavioral science. Previous studies have reported that ESG positively affects employee satisfaction, organizational efficiency, corporate trust and employee loyalty at a corporate level. However, studies discovering the mechanism in which ESG perception influences organizational performance are relatively scarce. Studies on how organizational traits (positive organizational support, leadership, employee empathy, etc.) play a role regarding ESG’s effect on organizational performance are particularly lacking. This topic welcomes papers that explore a variety of antecedents and consequences of ESG management from an interdisciplinary perspective, involving disciplines such as consumer psychology, organizational behavior, behavioral economy, business ethics, etc.
