  This study explores the processes of establishing a green organizational climate in small-scale companies. Previous studies have primarily focused on factors associated with pro-environmental behaviour in large organizations. The role of a green organizational climate—specifically, the interactional processes involved in the construction of a green climate—has largely been unexplored. Entrepreneurial small companies constitute an ideal arena in which to study the initial phase of greening processes. The present study examined the process of establishing a green organizational climate in seven small-scale Norwegian companies. This article presents a systems model that was developed to analyse how processes at different levels interact in the shaping of the green climate. The design was a longitudinal mixed-methods approach, consisting of focus-group interviews conducted in the field, a questionnaire and follow-up interviews with the leaders. Findings indicate that the construction of a green climate had a strong practise-based approach. The company founders were driven by environmental values; they sparked the initial green measures, influenced the employees—directly and indirectly—and also invited dialogue around and co-construction of the green climate. Frequent face-to-face interactions within the microsystem of the leaders/employees were decisive to the development of the green climate. The present study contributes to the understanding of the process of greening an organization: specifically, how green practice relates to the construction of a shared green climate. Contrary to previous research and theorizing, this study indicates that it is possible to “go green” without a superordinate green strategy.

  There is a wide variety of concepts that describe “going green” in the context of organizational change. The creative construction of concepts demonstrates the dynamic nature of this field, but is also a product of the lack of clearly established research traditions. Although the concepts that are used in this field describe slightly different shades of green, there is also considerable overlap. The plurality of concepts has ensued a fragmented literature. Furthermore, because of the lack of overreaching theoretical paradigms and lack of common definitions, relevant connections and comparisons may be overlooked. The concepts may be divided into two main categories; those that describe work green behaviour at the level of the individual and those that describe work green behaviour at the level of the organization. The field of greening organizations is highly value laden, and the implicit values of going green will be discussed. Greening is related to deeply founded values such as connection to nature, and asking questions about the environment evoke people’s moral emotions. This presentation will explore how green change in organizations may be operationalized, and trusting green data will be discussed in relation to social desirability. Keywords: Organizational greening, going green, concepts, organizational change, environmental psychology

  Organizations are among the largest contributors to climate change, and greening organizations are one way of fostering a sustainable future. In this study, we examine the role of environmental organizational climate in the establishment and maintenance of green organizational practices. Environmental sustainability (ES) in organizations vary along a continuum from peripheral to embedded. Organizations with a peripheral approach are motivated by external factors, such as policies. Organizations with an embedded approach on the other hand, build the environmental concerns into its core values and culture, and integrates ES within the firm strategy and practices. Research suggest that creating a pro-environmental climate in organizations increase the reach of green initiatives and some suggest it is a necessary condition for sustaining long-term changes. In this study, we conducted focus group interviews of small-scale green production companies, examining the development of environmental climate and green practices. Preliminary results suggest that most companies did not have clear perceptions of environmental values and strategies, but had well established environmental routines and practices. It seems that companies can develop strong green practices, and hence be seen as environmental friendly in their way of running the business, but lack the green awareness on a higher strategic or philosophical level. In the next phase of the study, we will conduct follow up interviews of the company leaders, exploring further whether it is possible to maintain green practices as well as shared perceptions of a green organizational climate, while still not making the link to environmental philosophies.

  Ingeborg Flagstad hjelper bedriftene å snu retning. Hun er en av dem som vet hvordan næringslivet kan bli enda grønnere. - Det må tilrettelegges på en måte som gjør det enkelt for folk å ta de miljøvennlige valgene, sier Flagstad. Slik er det også til dels på arbeidsplasser. Flagstad jobber med å hjelpe bedrifter å tenke miljøvennlig. Rundt 15 prosent av ansatte i bedrifter er klare for å endre seg, dersom bedriften de jobber for styrer mot en grønnere retning. -Et interessant funn vi har gjort er at ansatte har en oppfatning av at andre kolleger er mer opptatt av miljø enn det organisasjonen er. På bedriftsnivå henger man her litt etter det de ansatte er opptatt av, så her tenker jeg at bedriftene har et utviklingspotensial. - Det trenger ikke være vanskelig. Det aller viktigste er at miljøtenkning blir inkludert i arbeidshverdagen og ledelsen må bestemme seg for at det er viktig, mener hun. I bedriftene i vår region har de ansatte stor tro på at organisasjonen kan få til grønne endringer, så motivasjonen er høy og de ansatte bør involveres i miljøarbeidet. Grønn strategi alene er ikke nok. Ledere må etablere en grønn kultur, skape engasjement, kommunisere det utad og ikke minst, være forbilder.

  Organizations are among the largest contributors to climate change, and greening organizations are one way of fostering a more sustainable environment. Although some research investigates employee green behavior and organizational greening, much research has taken place at a macro level. The role of management practices and the role of environmental innovators are two factors that are often emphasized in the literature. Some researchers suggest that creating a pro-environmental climate in organizations increase the reach of green initiatives and are a necessary condition for sustaining long term changes. In this study we investigate environmental knowledge, values and attitudes among employees at Lillehammer University College. We explore how an intervention aimed at increasing knowledge about environmental measures influence knowledge and environmental climate, and how interventions aimed at changing employees’ behavior towards more pro-environmental behavior influence pro-environmental climate. The design is a repeated measure survey study. Baseline-data is already collected, and consisted of physical measures of climate footprint, organizational climate, values and attitudes toward pro-environmental behavior as well as knowledge of environmental measures. The next phase in the study is an intervention period, that is still ongoing. The last phase will be to measure changes by a new survey. Preliminary results from the baseline survey show that people have limited knowledge of the environmental measures in the organization. In general employees show positive attitudes towards pro-environmental behavior, but think the leaders has to little focus on environmental strategies.

  The purpose of this study was to examine group identity and roles in a group of twelve Norwegians working together for a year on a solidarity brigade in Mexico. The study aims at exploring how operating in a stressful environment influence intra-group processes. Data was collected through participant observation and a repeated measurement questionnaire design. Bales’ theory on role differentiation and Salazar’s model of a two-dimensional role space is used as a theoretical starting point. Social identity theory and self-categorisation theory provides the basis for analysing group identity. A distinction is made between identification based on shared values and identification based on interpersonal friendship. Leadership roles were found to be relatively distributed in the group, socioemotional roles players were found to hold task functions, but the relationship was not two way. The results contribute to the understanding of Bales’ differentiation hypothesis. Further, the relationship between role-differentiation and group identity was explored. Group identity formed rapidly, however it was found to be weakened midway through the work process. The group identity was seen to be based on values rather than interpersonal friendship. The relation between the concept of role and social identity was discussed, and it is argued that the two concepts are more closely related than previously assumed. Group dynamics were to a certain extent found to be influenced by the external environment. The group was mainly seen to cope well with the stressful situation in which it was embedded. In a follow up study I further explore the relationship between taks- and socioemotional roles in tree groups working in a Norwegian setting; a football team in the elite league, a work team and a student project group. Data was collected through observation and interviews of the group members. In addition, a SPGR (Styrke Person Gruppe Relasjon) questionnaire was administered. SPGR methodology is based on the structure of Bales SYMLOG method and theory, and is utilised to analyse group roles. The purpose is to se whether the task role players are specialised and inflexible compared to the socioemotional role players. If the socioemotional role players are flexible all-rounders, this may explain why they were seen to have task functions in the first study. If the task specialists’ roles are related to specific areas of the groups work, and they are less flexible this may shed light on why the task role players were not seen to have socioemotional functions. The data from the second study is in the process of being analysed.

  The present thesis aims at examining group identity, roles and decision-making processes in a group of twelve Norwegians working together for a year on a solidarity brigade in Mexico. The study aims at exploring how operating in a stressful environment influence intra-group processes. Data was collected through participant observation and a repeated measurement questionnaire design. With regard to decision-making, use of the consensus principle was seen to entail thorough discussions when differences of opinions existed, but strong perceptions of agreement among the active group members was seen to create a “consensus illusion”. Leadership roles were relatively distributed in the group. Socioemotional roles players were found to hold task roles, but the relationship was not two way. The results contribute to the understanding of the role differentiation hypothesis. Group identity formed rapidly, however it was found to be weakened midway throughout the work process. The group identity was seen to be based on values rather than interpersonal friendship. The relation between the concept of role and social identity was discussed, and it is argued that the two concepts are more closely related than previously assumed. Group dynamics were to a certain extent found to be influenced by the external environment. The group was mainly seen to cope well with the stressful situation in which it was embedded.
