Social sustainability, Organizational culture, Promotion of indicatorsAbstract
Since the economic crisis of 2008, the world has faced a recession in terms of social progress, showing that current economic models do not guarantee long-term social well-being, giving companies a fundamental role as facilitators or obstacles to social sustainability. Numerous initiatives have therefore been taken in various spheres of society in order to contribute to sustainable development. In this context, the aim of this work is to analyse the aspects of organizational culture that play a role in facilitating or hindering the promotion of social sustainability indicators. Using the systematic literature review method, the aim was to identify the relationship between organizational culture and social sustainability and to present indicators of this relationship. The results showed that the most recurrent characteristics as facilitators were teamwork, group culture and patient safety culture. The hindering characteristic was poor communication within the team. The identification of facilitating and hindering characteristics provided insights into the main elements that can influence the success or failure of social sustainability initiatives.
