مروری بر پژوهش‌های حوزه پایداری شرکتی: تحلیل کتاب‌شناختی

پایداری شرکتی، یکی از مهم‌ترین ارکان توسعه اقتصادی و اجتماعی کشورهاست و موضوعی در حال رشد میان پژوهشگران است. بررسی تولیدات علمی و پژوهش‌های صورت گرفته در زمینه‌ پایداری شرکتی می‌تواند نقشه راهی جهت پژوهش‌های آینده فراهم کند. در این پژوهش سعی بر آن می‌باشد تا با بهره‌گیری از رویکردهای کتاب‌شناختی حوزه‌های کلان این موضوع در میان مقالات علمی بررسی گردد؛ لذا هدف پژوهش حاضر تحلیل کتاب‌شناختی تولیدات علمی منتشر شده در این حوزه است. پژوهش از نظر هدف بنیادی و از نظر ماهیت توصیفی - تحلیلی است. جامعه پژوهش شامل کلیه تولیدات علمی در حوزه پایداری شرکتی می‌باشد که در پایگاه علمی وب آف ساینس نمایه شده و نمونه پژوهش نیز  2246 اثر علمی است که از سال 2001 تا سال 2022 در این پایگاه وجود دارد. تجزیه‌وتحلیل و خوشه‌بندی مقالات با استفاده از کلیدواژه‌های موجود از طریق نرم‌افزار vosviewer صورت گرفت. نتایج نشان می‌دهد که روند کلی انتشار مقالات صعودی است و به‌طورکلی 8 خوشه اصلی در حوزه مقالات پایداری شرکتی وجود دارد که شامل پایداری شرکتی و کارآفرینی، استراتژی‌های پایداری شرکتی، شاخص‌های اندازه‌گیری پایداری شرکتی، پایداری شرکتی و مدیریت تحول کسب‌وکار، اهداف و گزارش‌های پایداری شرکتی، پایداری شرکتی و تاثیر آن بر عملکرد مالی، اخلاق و مسئولیت اجتماعی و تئوری‌ها و نظریه‌های پایداری شرکتی می‌باشد.

corporate sustainability: a bibliometric analysis approach

this article reviews the literature on articles in corporate sustainability. by reviewing the authors, citation structure, publications, and nations, this study reviews the progress of this field and summarizes the research process. this bibliographic analysis examines the literature on corporate sustainability and shows the structure of articles and research trends. the information gathered is extracted from the primary collection of the web of science database from 2001 up to 2022. the number of articles obtained is 2246 articles. vosviwer software is used to perform initial analysis and citation analysis, co-citations, bibliographic coupling, co-authoring, among others. generally, there are eight main clusters of articles on corporate sustainability: (1) corporate and entrepreneurial sustainability; (2) corporate sustainability strategies; (3) corporate sustainability measurement indicators, (4) corporate sustainability and business transformation management; (5) corporate sustainability and sustainable development goals and reports; (6) corporate sustainability and its effect on financial efficiency; (7) ethics and social responsibility and (8) theories of corporate sustainability. the research contribution is to show the evolution of this issue so that researchers can use it in their theoretical and research frameworks.introductiontoday, the concept of corporate sustainability has become an important and debatable topic in many industries and businesses because of increasing awareness of its benefits and positive effects on the survival of companies. to survive in a turbulent environment and a competitive market, corporate executives must not only focus on economic aspects, but also on the sustainable performance of companies (colabi, sharaei and alipour, 2022:119). because companies are the foundation of an advanced economic life and turn land resources into wealth, there is a need to review their activities with respect to the health of the land, society and individuals. corporate sustainability refers to meeting the direct and indirect needs of a company and its stakeholders without compromising the ability to meet the future needs of stakeholders. corporate sustainability is defined as the company’s voluntary activities that reflect social and environmental concerns in the business. corporate sustainability is considered an integrated and systematic approach that leads to the optimal use of social, economic, and natural capital; corporate sustainability also leads to value creation for the company and society, balance of financial and non-financial resources, and accountability for the company’s activities through the creation of social responsibility (ioannou and serafeim, 2019:3). as companies influence society, the importance of corporate sustainability for businesses, consumers, and researchers is increasing. companies are now fully aware of the competitive advantage of corporate sustainability. thus, they focus on the role of corporate sustainability and value creation not only in making a profit, but also in all aspects of ethics and society and the environment and stakeholder issues (galvao et al, 2019:291). bibliometric analysis is a suitable method for reviewing scientific works and assessing the performance of authors, publications, and countries in a particular subject, which also shows how their cooperation networks work. in addition, bibliometric analysis can reveal the directions and controversial issues in a research field and make it possible to identify existing gaps in the study area (yang et al, 2019:15). the diversity and variety of topics in a field can indicate the diversity of subjects and the multidisciplinary nature of that field of research, a diverse field encompassing a variety of subjects. as mentioned in recent decades, the concept of corporate sustainability and sustainability strategies has grown significantly and investors have recently become more aware of corporate sustainability.
