Organizations’ Management Configurations Towards Environment and Market Performances

Abstract

When organizations face the coexistence of multiple institutional logics for environmental management (e.g., maximizing market profit, protecting the environment), how do firms configure green human resource management (GHRM) practices to achieve sustainability in both environmental and market domains? Leveraging the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) technique, this study adopts a configurational approach to analyze the complex interdependence of GHRM practices with the underlying institutional logics for achieving firm sustainable performance. Employing a multi-source matched sample of 179 firms, the findings reveal the existence of multiple configurations of institutional logics and GHRM practices that equally result in high environmental performance, market performance, or both. The analysis also identifies that firms vary in their selection between environment protection and market profit logics, and the need to match different control- or commitment-based GHRM practices to achieve high environmental and market performance.

Notes

  1. To save space, we briefly describe the calibration rules as follows. Type of industry is calibrated a crisp set (0: manufacturing industry; 1: non-manufacturing industry). Firm age, in line with the 90th, 50th, 10th percentile used for other conditions in the main analyses, is calibrated by setting the full-in membership anchor as 26, the full-out membership anchor as 4, and the cross-over point is 12. Firms with any green certificate (e.g., ISO9000, ISO14000, HACCP) are calibrated as 1, while firms without any green certificate were calibrated as 0. The calibration of the firm development stage is that firms at the start-up stage as 1, at the growth stage as 0.66, at the mature stage as 0.33, and the decline stage as 0.
