“…The concept of a worldview has been utilised across many social science disciplines and has become recognised as an important concept with respect to understanding sustainability behaviour, decision-making and policy [26][27][28]. A worldview is how we make sense of the world and frame the fundamental realities of the world around us [29]. This includes the assumptions about life, objectives, (un)desirable behaviours and relationships, and acceptable goals.…”

Marketing and Sustainability: Business as Usual or Changing Worldviews?

2019

Marketing, and the business schools within which most marketing academics and researchers work, have a fraught relationship with sustainability. Marketing is typically regarded as encouraging overconsumption and contributing to global change yet, simultaneously, it is also promoted as a means to enable sustainable consumption. Based on a critical review of the literature, the paper responds to the need to better understand the underpinnings of marketing worldviews with respect to sustainability. The paper discusses the concept of worldviews and their transformation, sustainability’s articulation in marketing and business schools, and the implications of the market logic dominance in faculty mind-sets. This is timely given that business schools are increasingly positioning themselves as a positive contributor to sustainability. Institutional barriers, specifically within universities, business schools, and the marketing discipline, are identified as affecting the ability to effect ‘bottom-up’ change. It is concluded that if institutions, including disciplines and business schools, remain wedded to assumptions regarding the compatibility between the environment and economic growth and acceptance of market forces then the development of alternative perspectives on sustainability remains highly problematic.

“…Hasta la fecha se han relegado a un segundo plano los intentos de aplicar un análisis más profundo de síntesis sobre la base de escalas como las proporcionadas por Dunlap, Catton y Van Liere o a partir ' No obstante, existe ya algún intento en esta línea, concentrado en explicar las bases sociales de la preocupación o relacionar las actitudes ambientales con los comportamientos (Navarro Yáñez, 1998;Gómez Benito et al, 1999) o en llevar a cabo análisis a partir de teorías derivadas de la psicología, la psicología social o las teorías de evaluación y gestión de riesgos (Díaz, et al, 1999). Por otro lado, y a pesar que Gómez et al, opinan que el Nuevo Paradigma Ecológico de Dunlap y sus colaboradores "constituye, hasta el presente momento, la principal aportación de carácter explicativo a la teoría del ambientalismo [y...] una teoría que ha contribuido a guiar la investigación sobre los valores y el comportamiento ambiental de la población en los países occidentales" (1999: 12-13) éstos autores no utilizan la escala NPE (o NEP en inglés) en ningún momento en sus análisis de los datos recogidos por el CIS en 1996 ni tampoco el marco teórico revisado por Olsen et al, (1992) donde se distingue entre creencias, valores y actitudes. De Castro (2001), de modo muy notorio, comenta la aplicación de la escala HEP-NEP por parte de González y Amérigo en un estudio de 1998 a una muestra de estudiantes de Madrid, Segovia y Toledo, así como su uso actual para el estudio del voluntariado ambiental por parte de De Castro.…”

El presente artículo revisa las metodologías y los resultados de medición de la percepción ambiental por parte de la sociología. En primer lugar, examina cómo esta disciplina ha resuelto en el ámbito internacional un conjunto de cuestiones entrelazadas respecto al qué medir, quién medir, cómo medir y para qué medir En segundo lugar, hace un repaso de las aportaciones realizadas en España hasta el momento, detectándose cinco características que, en opinión del autor, suponen importantes escollos para el pleno desarrollo de este campo de investigación: (a) fragmentación e incomparabilidad; (b) falta de síntesis y debilidad teórica; (c) preferencia cuantitativa; (d) irregularidad; y (e) falta de integración. Finalmente, se enmarcan los principales argumentos expuestos dentro de una discusión más amplia respecto a las tensiones que padecen actualmente las ciencias sociales ambientales en general. El objetivo es contribuir a la consolidación de este campo de investigación y estimar algunos criterios que ayuden a evaluar la relevancia de lo que se ha medido.

“…In 1992, a preliminary report from the Gallup Institute showed that Mexicans were more concemed about the condition of the environment than persons from most of the other 22 developed and less developed countries surveyed (Dunl^ et al, 1992). However, the Mexican respondents to that survey were primarily from the Mexico City area and the questions were about urban issues such as air quality and noise levels and were clearly aimed at well-educated persons.…”

“…In other words, within the Maya worldview may exist a Maya women's worldview, an evangelical or Catholic Maya worldview, or an old person's worldview, which one needs to be alert for. Olsen et al, (1992:1 -2) describe a "worldview" as "mental lenses with wdiich we view the world." This worldview is part of defining a culture's beliefs of and values and are "essentially collective ideas ... learned from our culture and shared with many other members of our society."…”
