“…The thought of the environmental issue in multi-industries has been addressed by some published papers (e.g. Guerci et al, 2016;Alt & Spitzeck, 2016), but a further study conducted with a bigger sample size, data collected in multi-industries will bring out a better understanding of GHRM application and its roles.…”

A comparative analysis of effectiveness of bank risk capital in the Visegrad Group countries, constituting the main objective of the study, results from the needs indicated in the already conducted preliminary research. In the article, statistical and econometric methods were used, based on linear regression models. The conducted research were aimed to verify the research hypothesis stating that in the analyzed banking sectors of the Visegrad Group countries there is a positive correlation between banks' profitability and a level of their bank risk capital. The study indicated that net profit of the analyzed banking sectors increases with a growth of total own funds, while profitability is diversified in individual countries. Declining operational efficiency results from the growing cost of obtaining and maintaining risk capital.

“…The authors also noticed the existence of a variety of incentives to encourage sustainable behaviors, but it is the recruiting system that makes the first move by admitting individuals who exhibit environmental concerns. Alt and Spitzeck (2016) conducted a study of 170 companies to investigate which factors influence the organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) towards environmental concerns. They concluded that the level of employees' involvement in environmental OCB is translated into environmental performance, and this relationship is strengthened if there is a shared vision.…”

ResumoO objetivo deste ensaio teórico é analisar o papel da gestão de recursos humanos (RH) para alcançar a vantagem competitiva sustentável (VCS) nas organizações, por meio da perspectiva da Visão Baseada em Recursos Naturais (VBRN). Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica de natureza exploratório-descritiva. Primeiro foram apresentadas definições-chave para identificar a VCS como sustentabilidade, desenvolvimento sustentável e sustentabilidade organizacional. Um quadro teórico foi desenvolvido integrando práticas de RH com estratégias da VBRN (prevenção de poluição, administração de produtos e desenvolvimento sustentável) para alcançar a VCS. A principal contribuição deste estudo é oferecer uma síntese integrativa sobre práticas de RH e estratégias da VBRN. Este artigo também agrega valor aos gerentes, apresentando formas de implementar o gerenciamento de RH para a realização da sustentabilidade organizacional.Palavras-chave: visão baseada em recursos naturais; gestão de recursos humanos; sustentabilidade; vantagem competitiva sustentável. AbstractThe aim of this theoretical essay is to analyze the role of human resource (HR) management to achieve organizational sustainable competitive advantage (SCA), through the Natural Resource Based View (NRBV) perspective. We performed an exploratory-descriptive bibliographic research. We first provide key definitions to identify SCA, such as sustainability, sustainable development, and organizational sustainability. We then developed a theoretical framework integrating HR practices with NRBV strategies (pollution prevention, product stewardship, and sustainable development) in order to achieve SCA. As results, a set of propositions regarding HR management and sustainability are offered to be empirically analyzed in future research. The major contribution of this study is to offer an integrative framework of HR practices and NRBV strategies. This paper also adds value to managers by presenting ways to implement HR management for organizational sustainability achievement.

“…On the contrary, Zhu et al (2013) studied the relationship between environmental disclosure and corporate impressions management to investigate two subsequent hypotheses using a cross-sectional sample of corporate environmental disclosures in US annual reports. For Alt and Spitzeck (2016), this reinforces that OCBEs are increasingly being promoted as a means to complement formal practices in improving environmental performance.…”

“…Organizational citizenship behaviors for the environment (OCBEs) are increasingly advocated as a means of complementing formal practices in improving environmental performance (Alt and Spitzeck, 2016). Based on a content analysis of 533 Chinese listed companies, this study examines how corporate environmental performance affects not only the level of detail of a company's environmental disclosures but also what information is disclosed (Meng and Ashby, 2014).…”

This paper aims to study the impact of environmental performance on sustainable development. The objective of the study is to examine the causal relationship between environmental performance and sustainable development. Based on a standard model, which includes the variables of environmental performance and development, the type of relationship was determined in a selected sample of the GCC companies during the period between 2012 and 2018. In this context, dynamic panel data models, especially GMM, will be used. The results are expected to show that the level of environmental performance has a positive impact on the level of sustainable development by analyzing the impact of institutional attributes significantly on environmental performance. Finally, we should focus on the determinants of this effect by studying the environmental and social impacts on environmental performance.
