dc.description.abstractSustainability has become a fixture in academia and business. The concept presents a long-term approach to mitigating the risks of degrading environmental, societal, and economic resources. However, as global society accepts the tenets of sustainability the expected outcomes from doing so have not manifested. Organizations and academic researchers must tackle this problem because organizations are primary actors in sustainability. This thesis of the dissertation states that examination of strong sustainability theory is critical to advancing the concept of sustainability in academia and business. This theory is premised as an attempt to understand a range of evidenced sustainability outcomes, which can be assessed in relation to elements that affect sustainability. Two lines of research confer the thesis. The first investigates the relationship between strong sustainability and organizational culture. The second applies strong sustainability to the schemes that dictate sustainability in organizations. Content analysis is applied to quantitatively examine the sustainability strength of elements that affect the approach organizations take in their sustainability. This work contributes novel knowledge in sustainability theory and practice in multiple ways. Organizational culture, as measured through the Competing Values Framework, is related to a range of sustainability outcomes. This allows for practical advisement in the management of culture for achieving strong sustainability. The Stages of Sustainability model is applied to elements beyond the domain of sustainability, which answers calls of numerous researchers to find ways to assess sustainability rather than treating it as a monolithic result. Several theories and future research can be reassessed or enacted to advance relationships with sustainability theory.es_ES
