摘要

企業的持續性競爭優勢及可持續發展是組織與策略研究的重要議題之一，其本質是在處理企業追求效率和長期適應能力間的矛盾。由於高階管理者所抱持的意識形態會深刻影響企業組織的運作方式，因此，本文試圖探討影響企業的可持續發展的意識形態要素。本研究認為，企業的可持續發展一方面有賴於高階管理者對於經營理念與核心價值的維繫，並照顧關鍵利害關係人；另一面又有賴於強調理性、效率的管理能量的蓄積以及管理職能的專業化。本研究提出組織家族主義與管理專業主義二構念，認為，企業的組織家族主義內涵有組織認同、集體主義，以及長期導向；而管理專業主義的內涵有組織能力、專門化，以及當責性。本研究進一步析論不同意識形態對企業可持續發展的影響，並提出相關命題。最後指出相關未來研究建議與實務管理意涵。

Corporate sustainable competitive advantage and sustainability have been important issues in strategy and organization research. Their essence is to address the contradiction between the pursuit of efficiency and long-term adaptability. This study attempts to explore the ideological determinants of corporate sustainability. This study suggests that corporate sustainability depends on the top management’s advocacy of the business philosophy and core values and on the care of the key stakeholders on the one hand. On the other hand, the accumulation of managerial capacity and the professionalization of managerial functions emphasize rationality and efficiency. This study proposes two constructs, organizational familism and managerial professionalism, and suggests that the elements of the former are organizational identification, collectivism, and long-term orientation and that those of the latter are organizing capability, specialization, and accountability. This study further elaborates on the effects of different ideologies on corporate sustainability and proposes relevant propositions. Finally, this study also notes relevant suggestions for future research and managerial implications.
