Structural conditions set from outside the organisation Sample Clauses

Structural conditions set from outside the organisation. Organizations need to be understood from the wider contexts and policy frameworks within which they operate. This includes the European and national policy climate, the wider market conditions, and also the regulatory climate within the particular sector of operation, because they set important preconditions for sustainable behavior. Furthermore, issues relating to the wider governance of low-carbon practices are found to be of critical importance here – xxx.xxxxx‐xx0.xxx particularly issues relating to legislation and regulation. Besides, findings from the LOCAW project demonstrate that reputation can act as both a driver and a barrier to the occurrence of sustainable practices. Reputation has already been conceptualized in the business and management literature as a main driver of corporate social responsibility practices in private organizations. The building and maintaining of a good reputation is a key element of economic success on the market. Even if economic success is not a key concern of public institutions, reputation has still turned out, in our research, to be a key driver for sustainable practices. Reputation occupies an intermediate position between structural and organizational factors. We decided to include it among structural conditions, as reputation is established in a wider space where different actors exist and develop their activities.
