Expanding the Vision of Industrial–Organizational Psychology Contributions to Environmental Sustainability

The Perception and Attitudes Towards City Garbage Management: A First Analysis

“…Lots of psychological theories have tried to shed light on the interaction between people and environment, but is it difficult to find a exhaustive model that explains and represents the overall human behavior in connection with the environment, due to the already named complexity and variety of behaviors and the amount of factors that influence them (Dubois & Dubois, 2012;Uzzell & Räthzel, 2009 Schwartz (1977), that focuses on the personal norms as determinants of human behaviors; the Value Belief Norm Theory as adapted by Stern (2000), that explore the relation between general values, environmental beliefs and human behaviors; the Ipsative Theory of Behavior of Tanner (1999), that considers the situational characteristics, both objective and subjective, as behavior's predictors.…”

Shared Value Literature Review: Implications for Future Research from Stakeholder and Social Perspective

“…The empirical finding of Wu's (2010) Ph.D. thesis (The Search for Sustainable Competitive Advantage: A Stakeholder Management Perspective) has suggested that "innovative activities require both entrepreneurship and strategies for managing multiple stakeholders" (p. 309).
