Abstract

The work, in fact, starting from the study conducted by some scholars, aims to understand how the strategic decisions of the company management affect the company’s performance and, ultimately, the motivation of the employees. More specifically, the paper seeks to measure, if and how, sustainable management, the prospectors’ strategy and the reactors affect organizational and sustainable performance, ultimately impacting on the motivation of the employees of the Municipalities that make up the sample of the analysis. The methodology used to measure the link between the variables considered is represented by structural equation models, which allow measuring simultaneously the relationships existing between two and more variables. The sample analysis is composed of the employees of some municipalities of the Amalfi Coast (Amalfi, Ravello, Positano and Maiori...) to whom questions have been asked to measure their perception regarding the variables of the proposed theoretical model. The results of the paper confirm the validity and reliability of the measurement scales adopted, since both the Bartlett test and the Kayser-Meyer-Olkin sample adequacy test (KMO) indicate that the factor analysis it is adequate to the sample used. Furthermore, the paper also allows confirming the theoretical hypotheses proposed, showing how work is a useful tool for both practioners and scholars.

Summary

Introduction

In recent times, especially at the international level, there has been growing concern about the social impacts generated by the activities of public organizations In this regard, the inability of the traditional financial reporting systems to adequately measure the social and environmental impacts of performance, has led several scholars [1] to deepen the study of social and environmental organizational performance, investigating the predictive capacity of the relationship between sustainable management and performance. The analysis of the performances of the companies and of the organizations pushes, with increasing vigor, towards the consideration of aspects related to social responsibility, including in the organizational action measures such as pollution control, waste management, dissemination of social performance and compliance with pre-established standards of conduct [4] These measures are aimed at evaluating actions and performances that generate a significant impact in different fields of life
