Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corporate performance with regard to sustainability will be of interest to both researchers and practitioners. There are many challenges and opportunities associated with strategy formulation and performance management. This Special Issue explores sustainable human resources (HR) and organizational behavior (OB) approaches to performance management. This Special Issue also concerns factors that contribute to the successful implementation of corporate sustainability strategy, considering the strategy formulation and implementation process. These factors may give new insights for filling the gaps between formulating and implementing a corporate sustainability strategy.
Specifically, we draw attention to the following points for the rationale of this Special Issue. First, we invite contributions from various fields in the design and implementation of corporate sustainability at both individual and collective (team or organization) levels. Improving individual employees’ performance does not guarantee good performance at collective levels, such as team or firm levels. Therefore, we need to consider OB/HR practices and performance aligned with multilevel strategic goals.
Second, we emphasize the role of leaders in this process. Leadership has received significant attention for positive outcomes leading to organizational sustainability. This Special Issue aims to contribute to the growth and development of corporate leadership to achieve sustainable organizational goals.
Third, such topics as diversity in the workplace and person–environment fit, actual and perceived, and their pros and cons in regard to corporate sustainability are worth pursuing in the era of great transformation.
Fourth, organizational culture seems to be underestimated in the discussion of sustainable development. The success of corporate sustainability activities and strategies is embedded in organizational culture.
Researchers from various disciplines are encouraged to submit their studies to this Special Issue. Topics are not limited to the subjects selectively mentioned above. All theoretical and practical pieces of work are welcomed in this issue.
