“…Also, it exerts pressure for the voluntary dissemination of sustainability reports (Martínez‐Ferrero & García‐Sánchez, ) and becomes a scenario that encourages socially responsible behaviour (Martínez & Fernández, ). In the opinion of Cruz‐Suárez, Prado‐Román, and Díez‐Martín (), the organizations that survive the longest are those that best fit the pressures of the environment; otherwise, they do not survive (Zaheer, ) or are questioned in their environment (Hannan & Freeman, ).…”

The information contained in corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports is a controversial issue, and it has generated an important debate among academics regarding company disclosure strategies. Environmental matters are especially relevant given their impact on sustainable development. The present study has two objectives. The first is to determine which Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) environmental indicators are reported less frequently. The second is to predict the evolution of these indicators in light of the institutional pressures that companies try to resist. Specifically, the study of the environmental dimension of the GRI focusses on an analysis of the following: materials, energy, water, biodiversity, emissions, effluents and waste, products and services, compliance, transport, environmental assessment, and environmental grievance mechanisms. A content analysis of CSR reports from some of the world's largest companies reveals that the indicators least disclosed by companies relate to the environmental aspects of biodiversity. The dissemination of environmental indicators is influenced by normative, mimetic, and (to a lesser extent) coercive pressures. In addition, we observe that mimetic institutional pressures under a national and industrial vision influence the dissemination of environmental information. In terms of cultural dimensions, companies located in long-term, feminine, and collectivist countries tend to disseminate environmental information accordingly.

“…In the context of this research, the effect produced by communication on hospital performance is considerably greater than that produced by organizational legitimacy. In highly institutionalized environments, where public interests converge with conformity with social norms and the durability (over time) of the organizations (hospitals), legitimacy is a necessary condition that is taken for granted (Cruz-Suárez, Prado-Román, & Díez-Martín, 2014), generating a smaller effect on the expected performance.…”

Purpose-The aim of the investigation is to examine the effect of communication on the legitimacy and performance of organizations. The research framework was built based on Institutional Theory. Design/methodology/approach-The data were collected from 613 surveys of patients and health personnel of public hospitals in Madrid (Spain) and analyzed through partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The questionnaires were anonymous. No identification data or biomedical data were requested. Findings-The results confirm the existence of a positive effect between communication and organizational legitimacy. They also indicate that the effect produced by communication on organizational performance is considerably greater than that produced by organizational legitimacy. The findings provide new knowledge on communication as an antecedent of organizational legitimacy. From a practical point of view, the research provides ideas on how hospital managers can improve their performance through communication management and organizational legitimacy. Originality/value-New evidence of the effects of communication on the legitimacy and performance of organizations is provided. The effect and the predictive relevance of legitimacy in relation on the performance of organizations are also identified.

“…According to the three institutional pillars, first, the regulative view of the institutional profile consists of rules and laws regulated by governments or other authorities that force companies to act in a certain way or provide support for new businesses [28,49,50]. Regulative legitimacy is seen as a self-evaluation process that enables an organization to map out its activities in order to achieve societal welfare [51].…”

This study introduces and validates a measure of a company’s institutional profile for sustainability. It uses institutional theory as a lens to understand the factors that legitimize the adoption of renewable energy activities in an oil and gas company. The three institutional dimensions used in this study are regulative, normative and cognitive, which aimed to measure legitimacy in an oil and gas company under a sustainable change. Survey-based research was carried out among employees to test this theory. Moreover, structural equation modeling was used to test the model fit, validate the measures, and test the four hypotheses. The results showed that regulative and normative pillars play the main role in legitimating renewable energy practices in our case company. The findings provide researchers and companies with a valuable resource for exploring legitimacy in order to understand what makes companies legitimize new sustainable activities that are outside the companies’ core business.
