Resumo: | Individuals and organized groups may adopt social activism to demand corporate change to tackle many issues, from the companies’ lack of attention to social problems to global climate demands. This research considers that social activism influences organizations and aims to analyze the effects of this influence. An integrative review was carried out in the databases Scopus and Portal de Periódicos da Capes, identifying 152 articles to analyze the theories and constructs adopted, findings, and gaps in the literature on social activism. The results reveal that studies have analyzed social activism under different theoretical lenses, as a phenomenon of study, materialized in isolated actions, or as coordinated movements advocating a specific cause, bringing different effects to organizations. The literature reveals the use of different tactics to promote social activism and that gender equality, company diversity, and impact on environmental, social, and governance issues are examples of causes advocated. In the theoretical perspective, most of the studies did not mention a specific theory. Even when studies mention theories, they do it in a pluralistic way, not focusing on the development of one specific theory. The most recurrent theories identified were agency theory, institutional theory, stakeholder theory, digital activism theory, resource dependency theory (RDT), social movement theory, and resource mobilization theory. The theoretical connection, therefore, can bring new contributions to the study of social activism. |

Basado en el reconocimiento de que el activismo social influye en las organizaciones, este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el efecto del activismo social en las organizaciones. A través de una revisión integradora para analizar el uso teórico, los constructos, los hallazgos y las lagunas, se identificaron 152 artículos en las bases de datos Scopus y Portal de Periódicos da Capes. Los resultados apuntan al análisis del activismo social bajo diferentes lentes teóricos, como fenómeno de estudio, materializado en acciones aisladas o en movimientos coordinados en la promoción y apoyo a una causa específica, trayendo efectos diversos a las organizaciones. La igualdad de género, la diversidad en las empresas, el impacto en el medio ambiente, los problemas sociales y de gobernanza son ejemplos de causas activistas, y los estudios apuntan al uso de diferentes tácticas para promover el activismo social. En el ámbito teórico, no se verificó la aplicación de una sola perspectiva teórica y la mayoría de los estudios no mencionaron una perspectiva teórica específica. Las teorías más recurrentes identificadas en los artículos fueron la teoría de la agencia, la teoría institucional, la teoría de las partes interesadas, la teoría del activismo digital, la teoría de la dependencia de recursos (RDT), la teoría de los movimientos sociales y la teoría de la movilización de recursos. La conexión teórica, por tanto, puede traer nuevos aportes al estudio del fenómeno.Da falta de atenção em questões sociais por empresas até demandas climáticas globais, indivíduos e grupos organizados podem utilizar-se do ativismo social para reivindicar mudanças corporativas. Com base no reconhecimento de que o ativismo social influencia as organizações, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar seu efeito em organizações. Por meio de uma revisão do tipo integrativa para análise do uso teórico, de constructos, achados e lacunas, foram identificados 152 artigos nas bases de dados Scopus e no Portal de Periódicos da Capes. Os resultados apontam para a análise do ativismo social sob diferentes lentes teóricas. Como fenômeno de estudo, ele se materializa em ações isoladas ou em movimentos coordenados na promoção e no apoio a uma causa específica, trazendo efeitos diversos para as organizações. A igualdade de gênero, a diversidade nas empresas, o impacto ao meio ambiente, as questões sociais e de governança são exemplos de causas ativistas, e os estudos apontam para o uso de táticas diversas na promoção do ativismo social. Na esfera teórica, não se verificou a aplicação de uma perspectiva teórica única, e grande parte dos estudos não mencionou uma perspectiva teórica específica. As teorias mais recorrentes identificadas nos artigos foram a teoria da agência, a institucional, a de stakeholders, a do ativismo digital, a da dependência de recursos (RDT), a do movimento social e a da mobilização de recursos. A conexão teórica, portanto, pode trazer novas contribuições para o estudo do fenômeno.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2023-12-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8957310.1590/1679-395120220305Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 21 No. 6 (2023); e2022-0305Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 21 Núm. 6 (2023); e2022-0305Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 21 n. 6 (2023); e2022-03051679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/89573/84489https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/89573/84490https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSiedschlag, DjeisonLana, Jeferson2023-12-20T21:03:34Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/89573Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:34.418956Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true |
