ABSTRACT

This article empirically examines the individual and interaction effects of women in the CEO and operations manager roles on the practice of environmental sustainability. To test the specified hypotheses, we study 1,932 Australian wine firms over a five-year period (2014–2018). The results suggest that women in the operations manager role are positively associated with environmentally sustainable practices, while women in the CEO role are not. However, when women are in both CEO and operations manager roles in the same firm (interaction effect), the relationship with environmentally sustainable practices is positive and significant. The results are discussed along with limitations and directions for future research.

摘要

本文从经验上考察了女性在CEO和运营经理中的个人作用和互动作用对环境可持续性的影响。为了检验特定假设，我们在五年期间（2014-2018年）研究了1,932家澳大利亚葡萄酒公司。结果表明，担任运营经理一职的女性与环境可持续实践具有正相关关系，而担任首席执行官一职的女性则与环境可持续实践没有正相关。但是，当女性在同一家公司中同时担任首席执行官和运营经理的角色（互动效应）时，与环境可持续实践的关系是积极而重要的。讨论了结果以及未来研究的局限性和方向。
