“…Organizational culture also appears as an aspect of the way organizations function in certain areas of activity, such as IT companies (Pankaj and Seetharaman, 2021 ). Loor Alcívar et al ( 2020 ) define organizational culture as a component of organizational sustainability, or rather, they call it the “organizational identity,” which is composed of the “vision and mission, institutional values, and identification” (p. 326), and they include it as a new, fourth dimension of organizational sustainability (along with economic, social, and environmental) in the empirical model to analyze the relationships between corporate social responsibility (defined by the dimensions of economics, law, ethics, and philanthropy) and cooperative sustainability in Ecuador. Although by means of various structural models they confirm the predominant positive associations between the dimensions of sustainability and social responsibility, most of the variance is explained by the model that explains the SS of organizations through the dimensions of social responsibility.…”

“…Although by means of various structural models they confirm the predominant positive associations between the dimensions of sustainability and social responsibility, most of the variance is explained by the model that explains the SS of organizations through the dimensions of social responsibility. We therefore identified organizational culture theme not only because the construct appears in individual articles, but primarily because of the empirical work describing the relationships between the dimensions of sustainability in different samples of organizations (e.g., Jitmaneeroj, 2016 ; Gupta and Racherla, 2018 ; Loor Alcívar et al, 2020 ). In the case of tannery regions in India, Gupta and Racherla ( 2018 ) found a positive reciprocal relationship between economic and environmental success, but a negative reciprocal relationship between the social and economic success of tanneries.…”

Unlike environmental sustainability, social sustainability in the workplace is a relatively new concept that is still searching for its own definition and explanation. Therefore, in this paper, we systematically reviewed and critically evaluated recent research on this topic. In doing so, we identified important constructs that help us better define and understand the phenomenon of social sustainability in the workplace. We focused on articles from 2016 to 2022 with content related to three Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely health and wellbeing (SDG-3), gender equality (SDG-5), and decent work (SDG-8). Given the harrowing events of the past 2 years, triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and the global impact of the war in Ukraine, we also wanted to learn whether other categories, such as security (SDG-11) and peace (SDG-16), are embedded in the concept of social sustainability at work. The articles we studied were found through EBSCOhost, specifically in the Academic Search Complete, Business Source Premier, APA PsycInfo, SocINDEX with Full Text, and GreenFILE databases. We selected 67 articles and organized them according to the four levels of research and practice in work and organizational psychology. In reviewing the literature, we identified several constructs that can be classified at four levels of interest in work and organizational psychology. At the level focused on the job/work, we identified two main topics: (i) sustainable job/work characteristics and (ii) sustainable job (re)design. At the people-focused level, we identified the following topics: (i) pro-sustainable self-system, (ii) pro-sustainable job attitudes and motivation, (iii) sustainability work environment perceptions and other mediating mechanisms, and (iv) sustainable job behavior. The organization-focused level includes (i) organizations as human systems and (ii) pro-sustainable organizational policies and practices. The last (society-focused) level is defined by two main topics: (i) understanding society as a human system and (ii) pro-social mechanisms. In the discussion, we categorized specific constructs identified within the described focus levels into the theoretical model describing the psychological concept of social sustainability in the workplace from the perspective of sustainable goals.

“…Two studies have examined the relationship between social and economic sustainability, with differing results. According to Alcivar et al (2020), one study found a positive correlation between the economic and social dimensions and legal, ethical, and philanthropic dimensions. However, another study by Buck et al (2021) concluded that sustainability's social and economic dimensions are negatively linked.…”

The construction industry in Cebu City is growing, but sustainability is essential, especially during times of crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. Some businesses have not enhanced their sustainable practices to survive the new normal. The main objective of this study is to explore the triple bottom line of a construction company in Cebu City, Philippines. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design, and the sample comprised 58 rank-and-file employees selected through a simple random sampling method. The collected data were analyzed, tabulated, and interpreted using various statistical techniques, namely weighted mean, and Pearson correlation coefficient. The study found that the organization placed a high level of importance on social and economic sustainability, while environmental sustainability was considered moderately significant. The relationship between these three variables was examined, and it was determined that they were positively correlated. The study's conclusion emphasized that balancing economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental preservation is crucial for long-term sustainability. Therefore, prioritizing these aspects can improve a company's performance and contribute to its long-term sustainability.

“…In the reviewed papers this dimension appears in combination with the TBL (Wang et al, 2018;Aras et al, 2017;K. E. K. et al, 2018;Loor Alcívar et al, 2019;Schrippe and Ribeiro, 2019); in combination with environmental and social dimensions (Muñoz-Torres et al, 2019); with economic and social dimensions (Bonsón and Bednárová, 2015); some studies evaluated sustainability considering only governance dimension (Spangenberg, 2002;Lu et al, 2016;Deng et al, 2018).…”

The construction industry is one of the most critical activities for the sustainable development of a country, generating positive and negative economic, social and environmental impacts. These aspects can be measured by Sustainability Indicators and Indices, which are useful tools for society, investors and the government in decision-making, especially when purchasing products and services, as they quantify information about a phenomenon in a given dimension of sustainability. Therefore, the objective of this study is to propose a model for assessing the sustainability of civil construction companies, considering economic, social, environmental and corporate governance criteria. These criteria are aggregated into a single index using the PROMETHEE II multicriteria method, which allows to avoid the compensation effect caused by the aggregation operators based on the additive model. The model was used to evaluate four Brazilian construction companies: Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma. The data of these companies were collected in a database of the Brazilian Chamber of the Construction Industry and in the sustainability`s reports published by them. We concluded that the companies Alpha and Gamma, followed by the company Beta presented the best performances in corporate sustainability, while the construction company Delta has the worst level of corporate sustainability.
