Understanding the Corporate Governance of Long-Term Organizational Sustainability [Seed Funding]
How can organizations ensure long-term sustainability? This project utilizes bibliometric analysis to review the interdisciplinary evolution, current status, and future prospects of corporate governance research in organizational sustainability, providing insights into achieving social and environmental objectives alongside financial goals.
In the face of global challenges like climate change and social inequality, organizations are urged to balance financial objectives with environmental and social impacts. This project focuses on the corporate governance of sustainability, exploring how governance arrangements influence organizations' pursuit of social and environmental objectives alongside financial goals. By reviewing existing literature through bibliometric analysis, Dr. Karina Van de Voorde and Prof. Dr. Tine Buyl aim to synthesize interdisciplinary perspectives, evaluate achievements, and identify future directions in corporate governance for sustainability.
This project integrates insights from business economics/strategy, strategic human resource management, and organizational psychology to comprehensively address corporate sustainability challenges. By considering decision-making across different governance actors and sustainability dimensions, it fills gaps in existing literature and enhances understanding of stakeholder interests in organizational sustainability.
