“…In addition to these perspectives, the literature on performance evaluation also includes relevant studies dealing with efficiency, using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique and attempting to identify -725-Intangible Capital -https://doi.org/10.3926/ic.956 relationships among multiple inputs and outputs (Langenus & Dooms, 2015). Examples of these studies include works by Al-Eraqi, Mustafa, Khader and Barros (2008) The selected studies reveal acceptance on the part of port managers to use measurement techniques in order to achieve certain organizational goals.…”

“…The port structure consists of different levels of administration, in which different stakeholders work. Thus, the intensity of relations between the parties may lead to conflicts, making the management and implementation of performance measures more difficult (Bergantino et al, 2013;Langenus & Dooms, 2015). In addition, the magnitude of the system is considered in terms of the hierarchical levels present at a port, on an operational, tactical or strategic level or on all three (global), where the relationships between these levels and the various dimensions must also be considered (Langenus & Dooms, 2015).…”

“…The process of data gathering and analysis requires time, resources and sometimes proprietary and tailor-made built-in measuring models. These challenges are exacerbated in the context of PMBs, as they often rely on external stakeholders for data collection in order to gain insights as to the impacts of the operations of the port cluster [48]. We believe that when an organization is willing to invest in collecting and analyzing data beyond the necessary, this also indicates that the organization is willing to commit supplementary resources with regard to sustainability initiatives, of which sustainability reporting is an important one.…”

Research on the practice of sustainability reporting that is specifically focused on the approach applied by port authorities (or port managing bodies—PMBs) and based on surveys as a data collection method, is very limited. Most research consists of single-case studies, only partly covers the different dimensions related to the implementation of sustainability reporting, or is based on content analysis. This paper offers a multidimensional approach of the concept of sustainability reporting based on a global survey yielding 97 complete and valid answers of PMBs. A binomial logistic regression has been conducted to identify those organizational characteristics, whether or not under the control of the PMB, that have the largest explanatory power when it comes to the adoption of the practice of sustainability reporting. The research results present new variables compared to the findings of previous studies, such as proximity to a city, the history of data gathering, and the presence of environmental/social certifications. Furthermore, this paper also investigates how these organizational characteristics are interlinked with external, contextual forces by making use of Institutional Theory. By combining organizational characteristics with information on the institutional environment in which the PMB operates, a more complete image is obtained. The results of this analysis show that myriad different institutional pressures are in play when it comes to having influence over the decision making of PMBs with regard to the adoption of sustainability reporting. Furthermore, several prominent associations between one of the isomorphisms and certain organizational characteristics can be observed.
