Abstract

This study illustrates a ranking of organisational design practices for achieving environmental sustainability performance. Organisations can achieve environmental sustainability with production processes and operations that aim to reduce raw material and energy usage. Thus, organisations may adopt novel technologies and change work practices to achieve such outcomes. To accommo- date such changes, organisations use some organisational design practices. Since there is a lack of studies that summarises such practices illustrating the most im- portant to the least important, I decided to conduct a best-worst method. This method allows a ranking of several criteria that, in the study, are represented by organisational design practices, which are retrieved from the literature. The study results show that the development of the R&D function is the best organisational design practice to achieve environmental sustainability performance.
