Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Performance management and performance appraisal are widely used in organizations for the purposes of strategic planning, aligning efforts, setting performance standards, and motivating the behaviours and results delivered by individuals and teams at work. This Special Issue examines how performance management can support sustainability in organizations, congruent with the sustainable development goals from the United Nations (2015) relating to environmental and social sustainability.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Developing criteria for sustainability-related work behaviours and evaluation standards.
  • Training, sources of information, or reactions to performance management for sustainability.
  • Evaluation of applications of performance management to motivate individual, team, and organizational behaviour.
  • Implementing performance feedback systems to guide workplace sustainability behaviours.
  • The impact of contextual factors such as industry, legislation, geographic location, employee demographics on the management of sustainability performance.
  • Reactions and social distortion relating to appraising for sustainability goals.
  • Applications in HR for pay and promotions as related to employee sustainability performance.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Background: Organizational creativity and sustainability-oriented innovation are key factors for leaders and managers. This study explores the neural correlates underlying creative decisions in the managerial field in two distinct conditions: individual and group conditions. Methods: A Muse electrophysiological (EEG) headband was applied to a group of managers compared to a group of non-managers during the execution of a realistic complex problem-solving task in an individual and group condition, while EEG frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha, and beta) were collected. Results: Both managers and non-managers group showed specific neural activations during the task, elucidating the effect of creative thinking at workplace on the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the temporal parietal junction (TPJ). Significantly higher delta, theta and beta mean values were detected in the right TPJ in the group condition as well as in the right PFC in the individual condition for managers. Higher alpha band activation was found in the left PFC for managers, regardless of the condition. Conclusions: This study suggests the possibility to uncover, through neuroscientific techniques, the more socially sustainable working conditions that foster innovation, organizational creativity, and the fruitful sharing of one’s ideas while tackling complex problems within organizations.
