Exploring the relationship between sustainable knowledge, entrepreneurial skills, and sustainable entrepreneurial intention among first-year business students
No full textThis study investigates the role of sustainable knowledge and entrepreneurial skill sets on entrepreneurial intentions and sustainable entrepreneurial goal orientation among business school students. Recognising the potential heterogeneity among individual students’ intentions towards sustainable entrepreneurship, a person-centred approach is employed using latent profile analysis to examine students’ sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. Six distinct student profiles are identified, each characterised by a unique combination of sustainable knowledge and entrepreneurial skills, resulting in varying entrepreneurial intentions and orientations towards sustainable entrepreneurship. While sustainable knowledge and entrepreneurial skills have a lesser impact on the latter, their combination positively influences entrepreneurial intention. In contrast, a lack of sustainable knowledge leads to a less pronounced entrepreneurial intention. These findings have practical implications for business schools’ active role in fostering sustainable entrepreneurship intentions. Student-centred and holistic pedagogical approaches, such as experiential and problem-based learning, are advocated to cultivate sustainable knowledge, which can serve as a strong foundation for developing not only multidisciplinary entrepreneurial skills but also contributing to building social sustainability.</p
Social sustainability and good work in organisations:exploring how and why a recent phenomenon is being enacted
No full textThis chapter elaborates on the concept of social sustainability, and its connection to possibilities and hindrances for good work. Social sustainability, in organizational contexts, emphasizes the long-term well-being of stakeholders. Organizational long-term strategies should prioritize employee well-being, mental health, community engagement, and ethical supply chain management, inter alia. Distinct from Corporate Social Responsibility, which responds to immediate stakeholder expectations, social sustainability emphasizes durable, institutionalized measures. The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals have nudged many organizations to implement social sustainability. However, many organizations have come under scrutiny for acting merely ceremonial, and the line between genuine corporate mission and ceremonial lip services has to be critically observed. Key chapters of this book explore social sustainability in numerous areas, e.g., in higher education (as sustainable knowledge in business students), in corporate communication (employee identification, corporate volunteering, and corporate heritage), and in sustainbel human resource management practices. Workplace toxicity, especially towards minorities, is explored, highlighting both the role of bystanders, and the financial repercussions of ignoring workplace harassment. Digital transformation's social implications, employee well-being, and the importance of psychological safety in startups are addressed. The chapters, all together, signify the relevance of meaningful work for long-term societal cohesion, and individual fulfillment
