Con el fin de entender las normas de gestión sostenible, el estudio se caracteriza por ser descriptiva, cuantitativa, optando por el método survey, con la aplicación de cuestionarios estructurados en una muestra de 391 empresarios de la micro región de Varginha-MG. A partir de los resultados fue posible mostrar una baja participación de los microempresarios de las cuestiones sociales y ambientales. Si ellos pusieron de relieve la falta de directrices encaminadas a la preservación del medio ambiente y la falta de interés en ser voluntario. Sin embargo, la percepción de que la adopción de medidas destinadas a preservar el medio ambiente puede garantir mejores condiciones de vida para las generaciones futuras y la creencia de que las actitudes hacia la mejora y el bienestar del ser humano pueden proporcionar ventajas para la empresa más frecuentes.O presente trabalho descreve as ações e as percepções dos microempreendedores individuais e se justifica pela importância socioeconômica dessa nova caracterização empresarial e pela projeção do crescimento de sua formalização, que retrata números e percentuais de relevante contribuição para o desenvolvimento do país. Com o objetivo de compreender os padrões de gerenciamento sustentável, o estudo se caracterizou como descritivo, de natureza quantitativa, optando-se pelo survey, com a aplicação de questionários estruturados em uma amostra de 391 empreendedores na microrregião de Varginha-MG. Pelos resultados foi possível evidenciar um baixo envolvimento dos microempreendedores com as questões sociais e ambientais. Destacaram-se a falta de diretrizes voltadas à preservação ambiental e o desinteresse pelo voluntariado. Contudo, as percepções de que a adoção de ações voltadas à preservação do meio ambiente pode assegurar melhores condições de vida às futuras gerações e a crença de que atitudes relacionadas à melhoria e bem-estar do ser humano pode proporcionar vantagens para a empresa foram frequentes.Universidade Nove de Julho - UNINOVE2017-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/geas/article/view/1003510.5585/geas.v6i1.457Revista de Gestão Ambiental e Sustentabilidade; v. 6 n. 1 (2017): Janeiro - Abril; 107-1222316-9834reponame:Revista de Gestão Ambiental e Sustentabilidade - GeASinstname:Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE)instacron:UNINOVEporhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/geas/article/view/10035/4728Copyright (c) 2018 Revista de Gestão Ambiental e Sustentabilidadeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessdos Santos Portugal, NiltonSoares da Silva, Sabrinados Santos Portugal Júnior, PedroFerreira Alves, Alessandro2018-12-05T03:47:46Zoai:ojs.periodicos.uninove.br:article/10035Revistahttps://periodicos.uninove.br/geasONGhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/geas/oai||journalgeas@gmail.com2316-98342316-9834opendoar:2018-12-05T03:47:46Revista de Gestão Ambiental e Sustentabilidade - GeAS - Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE)false |
