Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between organizational culture and corporate sustainable development (CSD). Organizational culture is measured based on the four types of culture of the competing values framework: i) clan, ii) adhocracy, iii) hierarchy and iv) market type, while CSD was examined as a construct of i) economic, ii) environmental and iii) social dimension. The survey on medium- and large-sized firms in Greece reveals that adhocracy and hierarchy type of organizational culture have a significant effect on CSD. Specifically, adhocracy type is positively related to the environmental dimension of CSD, while hierarchy type is positively related to the economic dimension of CSD.
