Resumen

La literatura avala una relación entre ciertas prácticas de gestión de recursos humanos y
la estrategia medioambiental de la empresa. Sin embargo, la influencia de los desarrollos
individuales de cada trabajador ha recibido una atención limitada. Este trabajo analiza si
la orientación competitiva de los trabajadores de una empresa, reflejada a través de sus
carreras profesionales, se relaciona con los avances medioambientales de su empresa.
Nuestra metodología se basó en la construcción de una base de datos con las carreras
profesionales completas de 10,564 trabajadores pertenecientes a 94 empresas del índice
S&P100. Un análisis multinivel encuentra que las empresas muestreadas mejoran su
proactividad medioambiental si cuentan con un mayor número de empleados con
experiencia en altos niveles jerárquicos y que la dispersión salarial en la empresa
intensifica ese efecto. Aunque existe un riesgo de que la rivalidad entre trabajadores
obstaculice la colaboración, nuestros resultados apoyan una relación positiva entre la
competitividad interna entre trabajadores y progresos medioambientales en la empresa.
