La adhesión al pacto mundial en españa: un enfoque institucional
Joining the un global compact in spain : an institutional Aproach
Resumen
El presente trabajo examina la incidencia que la adopción del Pacto Mundial de Naciones Unidas –PM– ha tenido en organizaciones españolas. En concreto, el objetivo es aportar evidencia sobre las motivaciones que impulsan a un grupo de entidades a participar en esta iniciativa voluntaria. Basándonos en el enfoque sociológico de la teoría neoinstitucional, analizamos los principales procesos de isomorfismo resultantes del proceso de adhesión, así como aquellos factores del entorno institucional que pueden llegar a mermar su legitimidad. Los resultados, aunque no concluyentes, muestran que las organizaciones españolas tienen más de una razón que justifica su participación en la iniciativa del PM. De acuerdo con los datos obtenidos, los procesos de isomorfismo mimético e isomorfismo normativo explicarían las razones de la adhesión. “Aumentar la satisfacción de los empleados”, “sentirnos parte de los esfuerzos en pos del desarrollo sostenible” y “aumentar la satisfacción de los clientes”, son las opciones que mayor índice de respuesta han obtenido. En relación a los factores institucionales que pueden llegar a mermar la legitimidad de las organizaciones adheridas al PM en nuestro país, las organizaciones encuestadas afirman que el principal factor institucional estaría relacionado con la gestión pública débil y la corrupción.
