KENT, Patricia. GESTIÓN Y EVALUACIÓN DE LA SUSTENTABILIDAD ORGANIZACIONAL. Cienc. adm. [online]. 2020, n.15, pp.87-96. ISSN 0009-6784.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/23143738e058.

Sustainability is one of the paradigms that characterize the 21st century and, as such, it must be incorporated into the management of organizations. Peter Drucker argued that "the old forms of business management did not pay attention to people or values, on the contrary, they have underestimated and annulled them, thereby weakening the possibilities of development against their own economic objectives" (Cleri, 2007, p.187). This article aims to contribute to the revision of these old ways of management from the reflection on the following premise: a sustainable organization is a culturally responsible one. Nowadays, the necessary tools to take on the challenge of managing sustainable organizations are available and, in this sense, the Sustainable Management Model (Spanish acronym: MAS) and the Organizational Sustainability Assessment Model (Spanish acronym: MESO) are provided, proposing, in both cases, an explanatory reformulation of its original enunciations. Organizations must recognize their role as members of society, incorporating management modalities that enable an ethical and responsible behavior, with sustainable commitment.

Palabras clave : organizational culture; social responsibility; organizational sustainability.
