Bu çalışmanın amacı, kurumsal teori ve paydaş teorisi temel alınarak kurumlarda sürdürülebilirlik kararlarının geliştirilmesinde etkili olan motivasyonları belirlemektir. Çalışmada bu amaca ulaşabilmek için öncelikle yapısal bir model oluşturulmuştur. Bu modelde kurumların çevrelerinden, organizasyon yapısından ve yönetim yapısından olmak üzere üç temel faktörün sürdürülebilirlik kararları üzerinde etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada belirlenen faktörlerin sürdürülebilirliğin çevresel, ekonomik ve sosyal boyutuyla ilişkisini değerlendirmek için YEM analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri Türkiye’deki 4 ve 5 yıldızlı otellerdeki üst düzey 194 yöneticiden elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, zorlayıcı ve normatif baskıların sürdürülebilirliğin üç boyutu üzerinde etkisi bulunurken; taklitçi baskılarda bu etkinin olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte kaynak varlığı ve sürdürülebilirlik odaklı kültürün sürdürülebilirliğin üç boyutu üzerinde anlamlı etkisi bulunmasına rağmen; algılanan faydanın sadece ekonomik sürdürülebilirlik üzerinde etkisi olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Son olarak, sürdürülebilirliğe yönelik tutum ile sorumlu liderliğin çevresel ve sosyal sürdürülebilirlik üzerinde anlamlı etkisi bulunurken; ekonomik sürdürülebilirlik üzerinde etkisi olmadığı belirlenmiştir

The Motivations of Affecting Manager’s Decisions on Corporate Sustainability

Öz

The aim of this study is to determine the motivations which are effective in the development of sustainability decisions based on the institutional and stakeholder theories. In order to reach this aim, firstly a structural model has been formed. In this model, it has been determined that institutions are effective on the sustainability of the three basic factors as environmental, structural and managerial. The YEM analysis technique has been used in order to evaluate the relationship of the factors determined in the study with the size of environmental, economical and social sustainability. The data of the research has been obtained from 194 senior managers of 4 and 5 stars hotels in Turkey. According to the results of the research, while the coercive and normative pressures affect three dimensions of the sustainability; this affection has not existed on the mimetric pressures. However, although resource availability and sustainability-oriented culture affect the three dimensions of sustainability significantly; it has been determined that perceived benefit has an effect only on economic sustainability. Finally, sustainability-oriented attitude and responsible leadership have a significant impact on the environmental and social sustainability; it has been determined that there has not been such an impact on the economical sustainability
