Resumo
O objetivo desta pesquisa é entender sob a perspectiva da teoria da contingência, como os fatores contingenciais climáticos e o gerenciamento interno organizacional realizado por um conjunto de empresas podem explicar a percepção de benefícios ao adotar práticas operacionais de baixo carbono. Para atingir este objetivo, o método de pesquisa escolhido foi entrevista, o qual foi conduzido com profissionais de seis empresas dividas em quatro setores industriais diferentes, utilizando para a análise dos dados o software NVivo a fim de entender as percepções dessas empresas estudadas. Os resultados encontrados foram: a) a percepção e o monitoramento de riscos climáticos disparam um gerenciamento interno organizacional mais estruturado pelas empresas; b) as empresas tendem a manter o modelo de gestão ambiental estabelecido para inserir fatores de mudanças climáticas em seus procedimentos; c) uma incipiente estrutura de gerenciamento interno organizacional presente nas empresas afeta suas percepções de benefícios ao adotarem práticas de baixo carbono, mesmo que diversifiquem suas ações; d) o gerenciamento de carbono sob os aspectos contingenciais pode explicar a inação das empresas neste contexto de mudança climática. Com isso, as contribuições deste trabalho consistem em fornecer à literatura evidências empíricas de como se estabelece a relação entre a percepção e o monitoramento de riscos com o gerenciamento de fatores climáticos organizacionais a partir do uso da teoria da contingência. Além disso, a pesquisa também contribui com discussões sobre a efetividade das ações em resposta aos eventos climáticos encarados pelas organizações.
The aim of this research is to understand, by the contingency theory perspective, how contingency climate factors and organizational internal factors management can explain the perception of benefits from adoption of low carbon operations practices by a set of enterprises. The research method chosen was interviews with specialists, which were made with professional of six enterprises in four different industries. The NVivo software was used to analyze data from interviews in order to understand the perceptions of those enterprises studied. The results found were: a) the perception and the monitoring of climate risks trigger organizational climate factors management better structured by enterprises; b) enterprises tend to keep the environmental management established to implant climate factors management in their procedures; c) incipient structure of climate factors management stand by in enterprises affect their perceptions of benefits when they have adopted low carbon operations practices, even they have diversified their actions; d) management carbon under contingencies aspects can explain the inaction of the enterprises in the climate change context. Therefore, this research contributes to literature through empirical evidences about how is the relationship between perception and monitoring of climate risks and organizational climate factors management by the perspective of contingency theory. Furthermore, the research contributes to discussion about the effectiveness of the actions in responding climate events faced by organizations.
