Abstract
With the effects of global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and social inequality becoming increasingly visible in recent years, the need for organizations to incorporate sustainability into their operations has become evident. Even though many organizations already integrated sustainability into their strategies, the majority of the necessary holistic organizational changes are lacking to be implemented. The hierarchical middle managers have been found to play a key role in this implementation stage, as it is their task to translate a strategy into actions for themselves and their employees. This study focuses on the specific perspective of middle managers in the context of change towards sustainability, as it has only been little considered in previous literature. Conducting a qualitative cross-sectional study among the middle managers of three different organizations, influencing factors on employee commitment to change towards sustainability that have been identified in previous studies will be verified from the perspective of the middle managers. The resulting theoretical model of middle managers’ commitment will on the one hand enrich existing literature and on the other hand help organizations to understand their middle managers’ commitment to this topic. With this suggested organizational changes can be put into action.
