We examine whether managers' values, attitudes, and perceptions influence the greening of organizations. To that purpose, we specify and test a model of corporate environmental responsiveness (CER), drawing upon a modified version of the theory of planned behavior and the value-belief-norm theory. Based on survey data from 142 Greek companies, we find that top managers' personal values influence responses indirectly, through shaping their environmental attitudes, while direct relationship is not significant. Subjective norms, expressing stakeholder expectations, do affect CER, with their effect being stronger than that of attitudes. Managers' perceived ability to handle environmental issues also appears to influence responses. Results have theoretical implications, indicating the significant role of managers' values, attitudes and perceptions in a firm's environmental response. Practical implications are discussed in relation to selection of managers and training.
我们研究了管理者的价值观、态度和观念是否会影响组织的环保行为。为此，我们借鉴了计划行为理论和价值信念规范理论的一个修正版本，对企业环境响应（CER）模型进行了具体的定义和测试。基于来自 142 家希腊公司的调查数据，我们发现，高层管理者的个人价值观通过塑造他们的环境态度来间接影响响应，而直接关系并不显著。表达利益相关者期望的主观规范确实会影响 CER，其影响比态度的影响更大。管理者对处理环境问题的能力的感知似乎也会影响响应。研究结果具有理论意义，表明管理者的价值观、态度和观念在企业的环境响应中起着重要作用。还讨论了与管理者选拔和培训相关的实际意义。
