Promoting sustainability: The contribution of the “model of integrity” to a paradigm shift on corpor...

September 2015

This paper contributes to the literature on sustainability. Following Elkington (2006), the reports published by the World Bank (2006) and The UNU-IHDP and UNEP (2012; 2014) form a new wave of pressure for the corporate world. It requires a departure from the conventional CSR and sustainability approaches. In a context where sustainability is related to inclusiveness and intergenerational ... [Show full abstract] wellbeing, the corporate world is called to take on a paradigm shift on the corporate purpose (Kuhn, 1962) and a reform of corporate governance. Applying the model of integrity developed by Erhard et al, (2009) and Erhard & Jensen (2014) to a UAE listed company, we reveal that Shareholder Value Maximization [SVM], as dominant corporate purpose since the 1970s, prevents businesses from considering being in integrity, which undermines workability and diminishes the opportunity set for performance. To reestablish their integrity, businesses should consider fulfilling the fundamental concerns of the relevant parties as their corporate purpose. An overhaul of corporate governance is required to help businesses managing the antagonist concerns of their relevant parties. As a result, businesses could be designed in a way to honoring their word to the relevant parties and promote inclusiveness as well as intergenerational wellbeing.

Arcangelo Marrone

Il presente volume, partendo dall’evoluzione storica e concettuale del tema della Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), ha esplorato il fenomeno delle Società Benefit (SB), esaminandone, anche tramite un’analisi comparativa nel contesto internazionale, caratteristiche distintive e performance di sostenibilità. Dall’analisi condotta è emerso come il nuovo paradigma imprenditoriale, coniugando il ...

Human resource business partner role in respect to internal corporate social responsibility: The cas...

November 2023 · Human Systems Management

BACKGROUND: For last decade, human resource (HR) function has had to move from its traditional operational, administrative role towards a more strategic role. In the light of transformation and drawing upon business partnering concept (the most well-known Ulrich model), a new formal position of an HR business partner, who acts as an HR subject-matter expert for the leaders of that particular ... [Show full abstract] business, has been established in some organisations. Although previous literature suggests the involvement of human resource management (HRM) in the development and implementation of socially responsible business activities, there is a lack of evidence on HR professionals’ role regarding internal corporate social responsibility (CSR), which implies behaviour towards employees. OBJECTIVE: To reveal the role of an HR business partner while developing and implementing internal CSR activities. METHODS: Qualitative research; semi-structured interviews with employees working as HR business partners in the banking sector were conducted. RESULTS: The results revealed a significant HR business partner role in addressing internal CSR, in terms of work-life balance (WLB), diversity and inclusion, learning and development, and psychological and physical well-being. CONCLUSIONS: The research results expand the knowledge on the link between HRM and internal CSR. Moreover, the findings have significant implications encouraging organisations to empower HR professionals to act within the internal CSR field.

Firstborn female offsprings are significantly more common among Indian anaesthesiologists as compare...

March 2016 · Indian Journal of Anaesthesia

Deepak Gupta

Sir, I sincerely appreciate Nagella et al.[1] for accomplishing comprehensive analysis into reproductive outcomes of anaesthesia practice among Indian anaesthesiologists. Similarly, our team, Gupta et al.,[2] had completed clinical survey few years ago that had primarily focused on firstborn offspring ratio investigation among American anaesthesia providers. However, contrary to their statement ... [Show full abstract] in their paper's discussion, their survey results do not contradict our results according to my review and post hoc analysis of their results. As elicited below, the reason for their incorrect interpretation of their own results in regard to firstborn offspring sex ratio is most likely due to their incorrect analysis based on misquoted national sex ratios. Among their survey respondents, male to female (firstborn) offspring ratio was 0.94 meaning that 458 firstborn female children and 430 firstborn male children were born to their 888 respondents who successfully conceived. This ratio effectively means 1065 firstborn female children born to Indian anaesthesiologists per 1000 firstborn male children born to Indian anaesthesiologists. Comparatively, as per the census of India for the year 2011 (a) child sex ratio (CSR) for 0–6 years age group in India was 919 (and NOT 940 as misquoted by them) female children per 1000 male children which equals male to female offspring ratio as 1.09 (and not 1.4 as miscalculated by them)[3] and (b) sex ratio at birth (SRB) was based on the Annual Health Survey of only Empowered Action Group States and Assam (total of nine states).[4] As per the census of India, low SRB reflected low CSR in the surveyed nine states and hence, it can be safely said that a national CSR can be expected to correspond to a matched SRB nationally even though national SRB was not assessed in the census. Therefore, effectively, CSR is the authentic national sex ratio that should be used for comparing with their paper's results. Herein, the Chi-square test shows significant value of P = 0.03 (and not 0.14 as misinterpreted by them) when applied to observed frequency of 458 female children/430 male children and expected frequency (based on CSR) of 425.259 female children/462.741 male children. In summary, I personally think that Nagella et al.[1] should submit an erratum to their paper and take the credit in their paper for eliciting that firstborn female offspring is significantly more common among Indian anaesthesiologists as compared to national CSR.
