Abstract
As the effects of climate change continue to impact society, organizations within the fossil fuel sector are seen as principal contributors to the climate crisis through their numerous practices. In the hopes of mitigating climate change at source, this study suggests that a strong sustainability-oriented organizational culture can contribute to reversing “business as usual” practices towards seeking strategic greener solutions. Such results are partly achieved by strong responsible leaders at the organizational helm in combination with a high sustainability-oriented national culture. Additionally, it critically questions the secrecy surrounding the case organization’s ‘choice’ and ‘format’ of promotion and support for their operational status quo (e.g., greenwashing), to challenge the insider perspective unearthed herein. Finally, the study contributes to the newer and under-investigated field of green human resource management by better identifying the role of organizational culture as a critical lever in bringing about much-needed organizational greener policies, and offering a critical analysis less seen in green HRM.
