    The presence of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in firms has grown in recent years but the rate of adoption among nations diverges considerably. The way to involve employees and the diffusion of the socially responsible values into the organizational culture can depend to the cultural dimensions of a country. This paper explores the relationship between attitudes to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the cultural dimensions of business activity identified by Hofstede (2005) and Globe (2004) through a longitudinal analysis of Cranet Network based on 2,678 firms located in 13 countries. This paper attempts to focus on the relationship between environmental sustainability in terms of CRS and culture, interpreting the HRM practices in “green organization”. This study can be used as a guide for managers, giving an indication of the link between environmental strategy, human resource management and culture dimensions across countries

    Il social recruiting

    Full text link
    Questo libro è stato stimolato dal desiderio di comprendere quale sia il ruolo del social recruiting nella creazione di un vantaggio competitivo sostenibile per l’azienda, in un periodo in cui la diffusione dei social media ha condotto a mutamenti sociali, complessità ambientale, turbolenza dei mercati e a sistemi che traslano le aziende dal reale al virtuale e dal virtuale al reale, per cui non si avverte più la limitazione del tempo e del luogo ma l’immensità di una realtà che non ha più vincoli comunicativi e che rende, dunque, le risorse umane elemento prezioso e unico. Se poi si considera che esiste una stretta relazione tra l’employer brand di un’azienda, inteso come usabilità del sito, attrattività, facilità di navigazione, correlazione tra valori individuali e aziendali, e il successo del social recruiting (analizzato attraverso un’indagine empirica), emerge chiaramente che oggi le aziende hanno la necessità di instaurare legami “forti” o “deboli” che siano, con i potenziali candidati e che solo agevolando il cambiamento organizzativo, a partire dai reclutatori, potranno sopravvivere
