Strengthening accountability and sustainability reporting: does stakeholder engagement really work? Evidence from the judicial sector

PurposeThis study aims to explore to what extent stakeholder engagement affects the sustainability reporting (SR) process and if it succeeds in facilitating the encounter between demand and supply of accountability, as well as the main challenges of this practice, by focusing on a crucial and under-investigated public sector area, the judicial system.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts an action research (AR) approach. Specifically, it focuses on a specific phase (i.e. stakeholder engagement) of the broader project that was carried on from 2019 in an Italian Public Prosecutor’s Office. Data were collected from multiple sources, i.e. written notes and reports gathered during meetings, the survey administered to stakeholders and the published sustainability reports.FindingsStakeholder engagement may be a valuable and effective tool for improving the level of accountability, as it increases the responsiveness of SR to the informative needs of stakeholders. However, the study also highlights some critical points that must be addressed to exploit this fully. Among these is the need to act upstream of the process by working on an accounting system that goes beyond the economic dynamics and can effectively answer the accountability demand.Originality/valueThe study contributes to theoretical and empirical knowledge by exploring a topic and a public sphere still limited investigated, i.e. the stakeholder engagement in sustainability in the judicial sector. The AR approach also presents some originality points, as it is low widespread in management and accounting literature.

The Stakeholders’ Attitudes on the Transition from Knowledge-Based Curriculum (KBC) to a Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in Selected Secondary Schools in Kampala District

The study investigated the Stakeholders’ attitudes on the transition from knowledge-Based Curriculum (KBC) to Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in selected Secondary schools A and B found in Kampala District. The implementation of CBC was driven by the need for Uganda to move away from rote memorisation and focus on practical skills and knowledge that will be useful in the workforce. The study was guided by curriculum implementation theory by Gross et al (1971). The study adopted a qualitative research approach that analysed the case of CBC from the subjective point of view while involving the study participants’ opinions. The study followed the Interpretivist paradigm which enabled participants to create and construct their social reality in line with the study. The study also adopted a single case study research design in order to get an in- depth understanding of the stakeholders’ attitudes on the transition from KBC to CBC. A sample of 23 participants including a UNEB official (U), Headteachers (H), Teachers (T) and Students (S) were selected purposively and used for the study. This enabled the researcher to gather qualitative responses, from the best- fit participants whose responses were relevant to the study. The study employed the use of the interviews to one UNEB Official, two headteachers and eight teachers and focus group discussions to twelve students while using a group of six students from each school to collect data. Through triangulation the methods enabled the researcher to collect in-depth subjective reality which was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings of the study indicated that; to a greater extent stakeholders had a positive attitude towards the transition from KBC to CBC. This is because CBC had led to development of skills and it is more practical compared to KBC. However, the findings of the study also revealed a negative attitude of stakeholders on a transition from KBC to CBC while stressing that, CBC is expensive and time for preparation was not enough. The study recommended the government of Uganda through the MoES to; train teachers so as to equip them with the necessary skills of teaching and assessment methods, facilitate schools with enough educational facilities and materials to use and continuously monitor, supervise and evaluate CBC practices in schools.

Extent of Participation of Schools’ Stakeholders to School-initiated Activities: A Convergent Parallel Approach

This study determined the relationship between socio-demographic conditions and extent of stakeholders’ participation to school-initiated activities using convergent parallel mixed method research design. Data was gathered from 756 respondents and nine informants. Results showed that most stakeholders have two to three students in school with six or more children already not in school, belonging between poor to low income family, and father and mother have educational attainment of low to average. The extent of their participation was high. There was a significant slight positive relationship between the number of children enrolled in school and their participation. Monthly family income, father and mother educational attainment, and level of participation all had a slight negative relationship. However, only the number of children enrolled in school and the monthly family income had a substantial impact on the level of stakeholder participation. On the basis of their experiences in carrying out their socio-demographic conditions and participation in various school-initiated activities, the themes of sense of belongingness, time management, and economic vs family welfare were developed. When questioned about situations in which socio-demographic circumstances influenced their level of engagement in various school-initiated activities, the themes of responsibility and commitment, shared participation and volunteerism, and school intervention and communication emerged.

Stakeholders’ Roles in the Delivery of Sustainable Housing Projects in Lagos State, Nigeria

The role stakeholders play is fundamental to the realisation of sustainable development. Consequentially, there is a need for the major stakeholders to be fully aware of their respective roles. Thus, this paper focused on assessing the stakeholders’ roles in sustainable housing projects in Lagos State, Nigeria. A structured questionnaire survey was used to collect data from 259 stakeholders involved in sustainable housing projects in Lagos State, Nigeria. A total of 203 responses were obtained, representing a 78% response rate. Primary data regarding the extent of stakeholders’ awareness of their roles in sustainable housing were collected. The data collected were analysed using mean ranking analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The data collected were used to determine the extent of awareness of the stakeholders’ role in sustainable housing projects in Lagos State, Nigeria. The results showed that all the stakeholders were aware of their respective roles in the delivery of sustainable housing projects and were highly conscious of them. Although their extent of awareness was at varying levels, there was no statistically significant difference of opinions amongst the different categories of stakeholders in the delivery of sustainable housing projects. The study concluded that Government and Project Managers have key roles to play as major stakeholders in the delivery of sustainable housing projects. The knowledge of the awareness of stakeholders’ roles in the delivery of sustainable housing projects provides invaluable information to stakeholders regarding the important roles to focus attention on in achieving sustainable housing projects. The study provides a veritable basis for understanding and aligning stakeholder roles in sustainable housing project delivery.

Stakeholder engagement and business model innovation value

ABSTRACT Despite important strides made in the business model literature, substantially less is known regarding its constituent sub-concept of business model innovation (BMI). In particular, the role and dynamics of different stakeholders’ BMI-related engagement remain nebulous, as therefore explored in this paper. Moreover, though business models are recognized to house firm-based value propositions, the nature and extent of stakeholders’ actual perceived BMI-related value (BMIV) remains tenuous, exposing a second research gap. Addressing these issues, we first develop the BMIV concept, defined as a stakeholder’s perceived value created through some nontrivial new aspect in a firm’s value creation, – communication, -delivery, and -capture mechanisms and activities. Using interdependence theory’s outcome transformation, we then develop a conceptual model that recognizes the role of different BMI stakeholders’ interdependent engagement in creating BMIV. Specifically, BMI stakeholders are predicted to consider the goals/interests of focal others, alongside their own, in their BMI-related engagement, in turn affecting all these stakeholders’ BMIV. We predict BMIV-based stakeholder engagement to differ based on whether stakeholders’ goals/interests converge or diverge: While converging stakeholder goals tend to yield cooperative/equality-based SE, diverging goals trigger altruistic/aggressive SE, as formalized in a set of propositions. We conclude by deriving important implications from our analyses.

Implementing a digital human resources management tool in the government health sector in Bangladesh: a policy content analysis

IntroductionIn Bangladesh, to address the challenges of ensuring adequate human resources for health (HRH), the government began implementing a digital tool for HRH management in 2017. However, evidence suggests institutionalizing such tools in low-and-middle-income countries is impeded by policy aspects like implementation strategy and poor regulatory framework. Therefore, we aimed to explore factors in the current policy landscape that might facilitate and challenge the implementation of the tool in Bangladesh.MethodsWe conducted a review of policies related to ICT implementation and human resources management in the health sector in Bangladesh using qualitative content analysis method. Ten policies have been identified, and extensive reading was done to ascertain common themes and patterns. A document analysis matrix was developed to synthesize and help interpret the findings.ResultsRegarding facilitators, strong upstream level commitments were reflected in the content of policies in terms of setting out specific objectives, targets, timelines, and budget allocation. However, the lack of explicit monitoring strategy and extent of stakeholders’ engagement was not well-defined, ultimately creating chances for impeding downstream implementation. In addition, effective coordination among stakeholders and different HRH and ICT policies could be strengthened.DiscussionFindings support the current discourse that national commitment plays a vital role in the integration of ICTs in health services. However, well-defined monitoring strategy and inter-ministry and intra-ministry policy coordination are crucial.

Stakeholder engagement and corporate social reputation: The influence of exogenous factors on efficiency performance (stakeholder engagement and exogenous factors)

AbstractThis article extends preliminary research with the aim of examining to what extent stakeholder engagement can lead to unfavorable outcomes in terms of corporate social reputation. A favorable perceived stakeholder image, does not necessarily lead to a positive reputation outcome. To evaluate this conceptual rupture, applied to the Defense sector, the use of two‐stage double bootstrap efficiency determinants, and stability analysis is proposed. The statistical significance of a group of exogenous factors implies that part of the observed performance is due to the environment. Their influence can either enhance or weaken reputation. In any case, knowledge of the underlying operating environment offers an opportunity for strategic action in Corporate Social Responsibility policy. The results show a statistically significant relationship of all the exogenous variables considered in each of the years. The most relevant result indicates a drag effect of stakeholders' perceptions on public institutions through perceived corruption.

Stakeholder interaction for sustainability in seaports. Analysing the implementation and its linkages to overarching interaction efforts

PurposeThis study aims to analyse how and to what extent stakeholder interaction for sustainability is implemented in organisations and the linkages to the overarching interaction efforts.Design/methodology/approachThis study was conducted in the context of seaports. To examine interaction activities with stakeholders for sustainability and how they are implemented, the study uses content analysis of sustainability reports.FindingsThe results show that the majority of ports recognise the importance of stakeholder interaction to create value and guide organisational sustainability; however, it is implemented to varying levels and degrees, which affects the form and extent of the overarching interaction efforts. The paper proposes four categories of implementing stakeholder interaction, showing the linkages to the number of stakeholder groups involved, sustainability dimensions covered and interaction approaches used.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to sustainability, stakeholder and management literature by highlighting different levels of implementation of stakeholder interaction for sustainability and its linkages to overarching efforts that may affect the sustainable development of an organisation. The results of this study provide a better understanding of stakeholder interaction within organisational sustainability approaches and implementation in sustainability-oriented business models. As organisations seek to increase their sustainability performance, these insights may be useful for both academia and practice.

Patient engagement, autonomy, access to mental care services – the case for integrated care in Crete

Abstract Access to comprehensive primary care (PC) services is imperative to address the complex biopsychosocial needs of patients with mental illness and their families, while it holds the potential to safeguard mental health and enhance resilience in communities. Integration of mental health and social care services in primary care has not yet been achieved, while access to such services for the mentally ill is still hindered by patient-, provider- and system-oriented barriers. Improving service integration, quality and access requires active engagement of patients and families in the design and planning of services. Interprofessional collaboration, interdisciplinary approaches and sound deliberative processes are only the start of initiating discussions to establish the needs of local communities. Mapping care paths, involving stakeholders and engaging in practice-based research are impeded by the organisation and design of care provision, including siloed processes and semantic ambiguity in establishing common ground. Academic centres ought to act as hubs for bringing together all actors, creating living labs and addressing the needs of people in urban and rural areas. The case study from Crete will focus on the following questions: What actions are needed to improve access of people with mental health disorders to PC services and how could PC mediate effective communication with mental health services?To what extent people with mental health disorders experience violence, abuse or discriminatory behaviour in PC?To what extent PC services recognize and facilitate autonomy, self-determination and inclusion of people with mental health disorders?To what extent stakeholders and PC services engage people with mental health disorders in decision making process and local governance?To what extent educational interventions for PC practitioners could result in the reduction of discriminatory behaviour and safeguard the dignity among people with mental health disorders?

Does the shareholder salience influence the corporate social responsibility of entities from energy sector?

Abstract The stakeholder salience framework has become, over the past two decades, a tool often used to identify, asses and prioritize stakeholders and has demonstrated considerable theoretical and managerial implications. The objective of this paper is to determine to what extent stakeholder salience influences how different stakeholder categories are represented in the sustainability reports of entities from energy sector. In this respect, an interpretative content-based analysis of the social and environmental information disclosed by entities is used. The sample encompasses six energy entities that are comprised of Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index (DJSI) constituent’s list on September 19, 2016. The results highlight that stakeholders who hold power have a high score of salience, being followed by those who possess legitimacy and then by those who possess urgency. The obtained results suggest the need to continue to focus on the normative theory of the stakeholders. The results also highlight that there is a link between the stakeholder salience, on the one hand, and the number and type of attributes held by each category of stakeholders, on the other hand. Stakeholders who hold power have a high score of salience, being followed by those who possess legitimacy and by those who possess urgency.

A Study on Corporate Governance and Business Ethics-Indian Scenario

Frequent corporate frauds and governance failures dotting the global corporate map have witnessed comparably vigorous efforts of improving corporate governance practices. India has liberalized the regulatory fabric of the country to align her corporate governance norms with those of developed countries. And yet, achieving good governance and ensuring results of such governance practices continue to remain one of the top priorities of stakeholders even today. High profile scandals resulting in financial collapses have served as the impetus for most sweeping corporate governance practices for bringing economic viability to the nations. Abuse of authority by a particular group of stakeholders continues to influence the corporate choices to the extent stakeholders. Governance is no longer treated as a set of rules concerning the management of firm; rather, it would establish diverse rights and obligations to reduce the negative externalities of an economic entity. By this paper, the author intends to explain the gap between corporate governance reforms and ethics and to seek why these two movements seem yet to be generated little in the form of widely accepted prescriptions for improvement of business behavior to the satisfaction of the constituents of business. The implication of the study showcases conduct, measures to be taken to induce compliance with provisions of the code. It also suggests as to how regulatory bodies should deal with corporate overcoming the weaknesses concerning the way they conceive modern business operations in the event of non-compliance by corporate.

Intergroup Conflict is Our Business: CEOs’ Ethical Intergroup Leadership Fuels Stakeholder Support for Corporate Intergroup Responsibility

Is reducing large-scale intergroup conflict the business of corporations? Although large corporations can use their power and prominence to reduce intergroup conflict in society, it is unclear to what extent stakeholders support corporate Intergroup Responsibility (CIR). Study 1 showed that support for CIR correlates in theoretically meaningful ways with relevant economic, social, and moral attitudes, including fair market ideology, consumer support for corporate social responsibility (CSR), social dominance orientation, symbolic racism, and moral foundations. Studies 2 and 3 employed experimental designs to test the hypothesis that business leaders who advocate for intergroup tolerance boost perceptions of corporations and their leaders as moral, just, and fair, which in turn, increases stakeholders’ support for CIR. We found support for this hypothesis across two highly publicized and contentious events related to racial conflict in the U.S.: The White supremacy rally in Charlottesville and the federal government’s announcement about the planned rescinding of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immigration policy. Specifically, exposing participants to real-world tweets by CEOs who advocated intergroup tolerance following these events increased participants’ support for CIR. This effect was mediated by heightened perceptions of corporations and their leaders as moral, just, and fair. Taken together, these findings enhance our understanding of the factors that shape stakeholders’ reactions to CIR; highlight intergroup conflict as an emerging arena for CSR; and illustrate the power of ethical intergroup leadership.

Ocean futures: Exploring stakeholders' perceptions of adaptive capacity to changing marine environments in Northern Norway

Globally, the projected increase in sea surface temperature is expected to facilitate large changes in the marine food web, affect coastal communities, marine ecosystem goods and services, global fisheries, tourism, aquaculture and others. This ongoing change takes place on different time scales, and coincides with increasing global demand for seafood, a growing middle class, and expectations of future need for food security from the marine sector. This article contributes to advances in climate change research by exploring, within the context of the results of the viewExposed program for assessing Integrated Vulnerabilities in different municipalities in Norway, to what extent stakeholders in different industries are willing to accept, or expect to be able to adapt to, these new realities. This was investigated through stakeholder driven workshops with stakeholders from maritime industries, commercial fisheries, tourism and aquaculture in Norway using the conceptual modeling tools of systems thinking and Bayesian Belief Networks. Results showed that commercial fishers are worried about quota allocations with changes in fish distribution. The aquaculture industry was worried about allocations of new areas for industry expansion in contested areas in Northern Norway, and the tourism industry was worried about changes in communications (transport) in light of a changing climate. Only the commercial fishers perceived that their adaptive capacity was low in light of these changes, especially the small-scale coastal fishers. This was because they expected the combination between increased power of the aquaculture industry and new species requiring expensive quotas would be too critical.

Stakeholders’ perspectives towards effective climate change adaptation on the Mongolian livestock sector

Climate change is one of the greatest threats that world is facing today, and having significant deleterious effects on natural and human systems. Recent climate-induced extreme events and their impacts demand timely adaptation actions to the changing odds of their occurrence. The great phenomenon is already being felt in the Mongolian plateau, especially on the livestock sector. The sector provides the main income and livelihood for one-third of the population of about three million people. A high number of livestock is lost due to a unique phenomenon is known as a “dzud”. This paper examines the key stakeholders’ perspectives in the implementation of climate change adaptation and identifies its barriers, with a focus on the livestock sector. In order to meet the objectives, this research used a semi-structured interview with organizations related to the livestock sector and climate change. The extent of stakeholders’ perspectives might be depending on the way they share information, stakeholder engagement, and their experiences with extreme events, as well as their location and level in government. The research findings will indicate an understanding of climate change perspectives, adaptation, and level of capacity of organizations, which can be used as a guideline for organizations to develop climate change adaptation policies related to the livestock sector in Mongolia.

A better school organizational performance? Yes, but how?

This study ascertains, describes and examines the relationship between better school performance in a set of high secondary public schools in Campania (Italy) and significant variables of the school organization.Within a systemic perspective, the study applies the analysis of principal components and the multiple regression model to first identify an objective output variable, i.e. Rate of Invalsi tests with higher marks than national average, which might measure a better school performance and then select the more significant variables which bear upon it. The findings show that these variables, when synergically working, will make the system itself function more effectively. This is, in our case, the interrelated action of stakeholders and facilities of the school system, that influences the variability of the output variable to the extent of 70%.Knowledge and careful consideration of these factors can help increase a school's effectiveness, which allows the students to achieve better results confirmed, certified we would say, by their Invalsi tests, only if such factors are successfully managed. It is, however, necessary to more deeply study and evaluate these results to find out how and to what extent stakeholders' motivation comes into play.

If at first you don’t succeed: Evaluating stakeholder engagement in global environmental assessments

Engagement with numerous stakeholder groups is increasingly popular in global environmental assessment (GEA) processes. This paper explores to what extent stakeholder engagement has been successful in a few selected GEAs, focusing on major limitations and downsides of particular methods for stakeholder engagement. This addresses a gap in the literature regarding the empirical analysis of different direct and indirect practical implications of stakeholder engagement methods Exploring these implications is necessary to appropriately evaluate both the methods and the objectives for stakeholder engagement. Our cases are (1) the regional consultations for UNEP’s Fifth Global Environment Outlook, (2) its Summary for Policy Makers negotiations, and (3) the Summary for Policy Makers negotiations of the Working Group III contribution to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report. The qualitative evaluation of these cases draws on 99 interviews with GEA authors, government representatives and other stakeholders to identify challenges to successful stakeholder engagement in GEAs. As an outlook, we highlight three promising options to improve engagement: (a) organization via a Multi-Stakeholder Advisory Body, (b) finding place for deliberation and negotiation in producing the Summary for Policy Makers, and (c) co-producing multiple summaries targeting specific target audiences jointly with these stakeholders. This article is part of a special issue on solution-oriented global environmental assessments.

What Categories of Teachers and Subject Advisers are involved in Curriculum Development in the Fort Beaufort District in the Eastern Cape Province?

ABSTRACTThe study investigated and analysed the extent of stakeholders’ participation in curriculum development. Specifically, it sought to identify the categories of teachers and subject advisers who were involved in curriculum development process in the Fort Beaufort District in the Eastern Cape. Data was collected through structured face-to-face interviews and focus group discussions with 22 experienced participants comprised teachers, subject advisers and principals. The participants were selected using the purposive sampling method. The findings revealed that teachers and subject advisers were involved in the curriculum development processes in the Fort Beaufort District in the Eastern Cape but their participation was based mainly on their position and seniority. Hence the study recommends that teachers and subject advisers be meaningfully involved in curriculum development.

Predictors and mediators of sustainable collaboration and implementation in comprehensive school health promotion

PurposeThe Diagnosis of Sustainable Collaboration (DISC) model (Leurs et al., 2008) specifies five factors (i.e. project management, change management, context, external factors, and stakeholders’ support) which predict whether collaboration becomes strong and stable. The purpose of this paper is to study the dynamics of these factors in a study of multiple partnerships in comprehensive school health promotion (CSHP).Design/methodology/approachA Dutch two-year DISC-based intervention to support coordinators of five CSHP partnerships in the systematic development of intersectoral collaboration was studied in a pretest-posttest design. To uncover the determinants of sustainable collaboration and implementation of CSHP and to find possible mediators, the authors carried out multi-level path analyses of data on the DISC factors obtained from 90 respondents (response of approached respondents: 57 percent) at pretest and 69 respondents (52 percent) at posttest. Mediation mechanisms were assessed using joint significance tests.FindingsThe five DISC factors were important predictors of implementation of CSHP (explained variance: 26 percent) and sustainable collaboration (explained variance: 21 percent). For both outcomes, stakeholders’ support proved to be the most important factor. Regarding sustainable collaboration, mediation analysis showed that stakeholders’ support fully mediated the effects of change management, project management, external factors and context. This indicates that the extent of stakeholders’ support (e.g. appreciation of goals and high levels of commitment) determines whether collaboration becomes sustainable. The authors also found that the extent of stakeholders’ support in turn depends upon a well-functioning project management structure, the employment of change management principles (e.g. creation of a common vision and employment of appropriate change strategies), a favorable organizational context (e.g. positive experience with previous collaboration) and external context (e.g. positive attitudes of financing bodies and supporting health and educational policies). For the actual implementation of CSHP, partial mediation by the support factor was found. There was a direct positive effect of change management indicating that organizational knowledge is also necessary to implement CSHP, and a direct negative effect of project management, probably pointing to the negative effects of too much negotiation in the collaboration.Research limitations/implicationsA design lacking a control group, a small sample and a relatively early assessment after implementation support stopped limit the generalizability of the results.Practical implicationsStrategies targeting the DISC factors can enhance stakeholders’ support and thereby promote sustainable intersectoral collaboration and the implementation of CSHP.Originality/valueThe DISC model provides a fruitful conceptual framework for the study of predictors and processes in public health partnerships. The importance of stakeholders’ support and other factors in the model are demonstrated.

Clarifying values, risk perceptions, and attitudes to resolve or avoid social conflicts in invasive species management.

Decision makers and researchers recognize the need to effectively confront the social dimensions and conflicts inherent to invasive species research and management. Yet, despite numerous contentious situations that have arisen, no systematic evaluation of the literature has examined the commonalities in the patterns and types of these emergent social issues. Using social and ecological keywords, we reviewed trends in the social dimensions of invasive species research and management and the sources and potential solutions to problems and conflicts that arise around invasive species. We integrated components of cognitive hierarchy theory and risk perceptions theory to provide a conceptual framework to identify, distinguish, and provide understanding of the driving factors underlying disputes associated with invasive species. In the ISI Web of Science database, we found 15,915 peer-reviewed publications on biological invasions, 124 of which included social dimensions of this phenomenon. Of these 124, 28 studies described specific contentious situations. Social approaches to biological invasions have emerged largely in the last decade and have focused on both environmental social sciences and resource management. Despite being distributed in a range of journals, these 124 articles were concentrated mostly in ecology and conservation-oriented outlets. We found that conflicts surrounding invasive species arose based largely on differences in value systems and to a lesser extent stakeholder and decision maker's risk perceptions. To confront or avoid such situations, we suggest integrating the plurality of environmental values into invasive species research and management via structured decision making techniques, which enhance effective risk communication that promotes trust and confidence between stakeholders and decision makers.

Construction project success analysis from stakeholders' theory perspective

The purpose of this study is to investigate to what extent stakeholders’ project performance correlate to project success. To collect the empirical data, a particular questionnaire was designed and distributed among owners, consultant and contractor companies who are number 1 in performing oil, gas and petrochemical projects in Iran. The results of the research show that consultants play the most important role and owners the least in determining project success. And technical aspect of consultant and contractor performance has been used as the most important criterion of project success. Other theories, other type of projects, other companies and countries should be investigated to generalize the findings. This research concluded that consultants play the most important role in determining project success and technical aspect of their performance is the most important criterion for project success. Consequently, project success can be enhanced by focusing on consultants’ performance and other aspects of performance such as human, organizing and integration aspect in addition to technical aspect. To what extent stakeholders’ project performances correlate with project success is studied in this research paper. Key words: Stakeholder theory, project success, power, oil, gas, and petrochemical project.
