Item type:Publication, Mirror Versus Substitute: How Institutional Context Affects Individual Motivation for Corporate Social ResponsibilityThe institutional perspective on corporate social responsibility (CSR) has discussed two diametrically opposed hypotheses about how institutional context influences CSR. Whereas the mirror hypothesis suggests that CSR is stronger in institutional contexts with stringent CSR-related regulations, the substitute hypothesis posits that CSR is stronger in weakly regulated contexts. Drawing on the micro-CSR literature, we propose that examining individual CSR motivation can help to better understand the effect of institutional context on CSR because it makes focusing on substantively motivated CSR possible, and it can shed light on the hitherto neglected psychological moderators in this relationship. We conducted three studies, obtaining results indicating that institutional trust is an important moderator of the institutional effect on individual CSR motivation. Overall, we found the highest individual CSR motivation when regulatory stringency and institutional trust were high, supporting the mirror hypothesis. However, in contexts of low institutional trust, this positive effect of a strong institutional context was reduced or even reversed. Our study contributes to the literature on the institutional perspective on CSR, micro-CSR, and institutional theory, and it has important practical implications for CSR management.Type:journal articleJournal:Journal of ManagementScopus© Citations 9 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Parasite Stress Theory in Business Ethics: Bio-Ecological Influences on Sustainable Practices(2025) ;Brieger Steven A. ;Ghaffari Feyzabadi JavadDespite their potential significance, ecological determinants of ethical and sustainable business behavior have been largely unexplored in business ethics research. This study examines the impact of parasite stress – a critical bio-ecological factor that has been found critical for attitudes, intentions and behaviors – on firms’ environmental sustainability practices. Parasite stress refers to the prevalence of parasitic diseases like malaria and schistosomiasis, which thrive in specific climates that support their life cycles. We argue that higher levels of parasite stress, by affecting immediate economic and social concerns, constrain society’s ability to prioritize long-term environmental goals, thereby negatively influencing firms’ adoption of environmental sustainability practices. Drawing on firm-level data of nearly 20,000 firms across 37 countries from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys and country-level parasite stress data, the results show that firms in countries with higher disease prevalence are less likely to adopt environmental sustainability practices. The study’s findings highlight the importance of considering ecological factors in business ethics and raise critical ethical questions regarding the balance between immediate economic and social needs versus long-term environmental needs. We discuss the implications of the results for business ethics research and suggest several future research avenues to improve the understanding of ecological factors for ethical and sustainable firm decision-making, strategies, and behaviors.Type:conference paperJournal:In Academy of Management Proceedings - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Perceived Organizational Purpose: Systematic Literature Review, Construct Definition, Measurement and Potential Employee Outcomes(2023-09-01); Josephina Charlotte SteuberOrganizational purpose has recently gained great popularity in research and practice. However, the development of this nascent research field has struggled with definitional ambiguity, the lack of a measurement instrument and little empirical testing of potential outcomes. In our paper, we first introduce and define the multidimensional construct of perceived organizational purpose, which sheds light on the individual and subjective experiences of organizational purpose. Second, building on our construct definition, we develop and validate a four-dimensional Perceived Organizational Purpose Scale. Third, we disentangle the related yet differentiated concepts of perceived organizational purpose and meaningful work and theorize how substantial knowledge in the field of meaningful work can be transferred to the relatively new and untested field of perceived organizational purpose. Fourth, we critically elaborate and empirically test the relationship of perceived organizational purpose with employee job satisfaction, subjective wellbeing and work-life conflict.Type:case review (law)Journal:Journal of Management StudiesVolume:60Issue:6Scopus© Citations 65 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, At a distance, all is well: The intertwining relationship between system justification, psychological distance, and environmental concern(2024) ;Christandl, Fabian; Grubert, ThorbenThe urgency of environmental issues, notably climate change, demands a nuanced understanding of the psychological barriers and enablers of pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors. Our study delves into the psychological underpinnings of environmental concern, a pivotal gateway to pro-environmental behaviors, focusing on the interplay between system justification theory and construal level theory. We hypothesize that individuals with a strong system justification trait perceive environmental problems to be psychologically distant, which leads to diminished environmental concern. Expanding on this, we anticipate that external threats to the system exacerbate this effect. However, we posit that strategically reducing psychological distance, e.g. through targeted manipulations, can counterbalance this negative effect. We test our hypotheses in three empirical studies: Study 1 shows a strong system justification trait to correlate with a higher psychological distance to environmental problems and lower environmental concern. Study 2 builds on this foundation and demonstrates that experimentally induced threats reinforce the negative effect of a strong system justification trait on environmental concern via psychological distance. Finally, Study 3 showcases that experimentally reducing psychological distance weakens the negative connection between a strong system justification trait and environmental concern. Overall, our research develops a comprehensive framework to explain variations in environmental concern by linking system justification and construal level theory. Importantly, we introduce interventions to reduce the negative effect of a strong system justification trait on environmental concern. Understanding these psychological mechanisms is pivotal for policymakers and communicators seeking effective strategies to bolster environmental attitudes and actions.Type:conference contribution - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, COVID-19’s Effect on Citizens’ Legitimacy Perceptions of Business Regulation(2023); ;Patrick HaackDerek HarmonStricter business regulation regarding human rights and environmental misbehavior is a promising approach for a transition to a more just and sustainable economy. A major crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can strongly affect how individuals form their legitimacy beliefs about this kind of regulation. However, the current literature proposes two opposing effects of crises on the legitimacy beliefs about business regulation. The system justification theory suggests that the pandemic will lead to a decline in the legitimacy perceptions because individuals are highly risk averse and status-quo supporting, when they feel threatened. Conversely, the moral identification theory implies a positive effect of COVID-19 on regulatory legitimacy beliefs because a global problem, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, increases the identification with global humanity and thereby the motivation to help people in distant countries for which stricter business regulation would be most helpful. We conducted four studies to test the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on citizens’ legitimacy perceptions of stricter business regulation. We differentiate between propriety and validity beliefs based on multilevel legitimacy theory to understand the full spectrum of legitimacy beliefs. Consistent with the system justification theory, we find that the propriety beliefs declined during the pandemic. However, the pandemic had a positive effect on validity beliefs. The bias blind spot effect explains the divergence of the validity beliefs from propriety beliefs. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the change of legitimacy beliefs, which consist of propriety and validity beliefs, during a crisis. We contribute to the theory of legitimacy as perception, system justification, and citizens’ support for a more sustainable future.Type:conference contributionJournal:Academy of Management annual meeting proceedings
