Welcome to the Organizations and the Natural Environment (ONE) Division of the Academy of Management, where we are dedicated to advancing research, teaching, and service on the critical interactions between organizations and the natural environment. We believe these interactions are central to the survival, development, and effective management of both organizations and societies. The challenges we face—ranging from air and water pollution to the depletion of resources—require urgent attention.
Our Division focuses on understanding the causes, effects, and opportunities tied to these complex interactions. Whether it is the workplace, local communities, or the global ecosystem, we aim to explore and address the problems organizations encounter in coexisting with the natural environment. Through this lens, we seek to develop scholarship that both guides organizational practice and influences policy, advancing sustainable, ecologically sound solutions.
We welcome scholars from diverse fields, including environmental sciences, engineering, law, ethics, and beyond, to join us in creating the cross-disciplinary approaches necessary to address the vast environmental challenges of our time.
We encourage anyone passionate about environmental sustainability to get involved. There are numerous ways to contribute, including becoming an ONE member, joining one of our dynamic teams (Impact, Communications, Teaching, Internationalization, Ph.D., Program, Membership, and Awards), running for a leadership position during our annual elections, volunteering in other ways, and participating in Academy of Management conferences. If you are wondering how you can help, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Feel free to explore our resources, reach out to our Executive Team, and consider becoming an active member of this vibrant community. We are stronger together, and your contributions will help ensure that organizations can thrive while sustaining the environment for future generations.
