The new paradigm of the Circular Economy-CE appeared in the last decades as a response to the growing demand for sustainability, understood as a way to balance both economic, and environmental and societal aspects. Circular Economy, indeed, could change the traditional economic model, typically called Linear Economy. Within this transition, Green Public Procurement could help the developed economy worldwide to reach this goal. The paper is an international comparison on the main features of GPP policies within the CE framework of a sample of EU countries, China, Japan, and USA. The research was carried on combining interviews with experts and desk research. The main evidence is that EU and Eastern countries are leading countries in CE policies. Regarding GPP implementation, differences emerge within Europe, especially in federal states. Besides this, China, and USA suffer a not-organic regulation approach. Concluding, authors suggest to deep the barriers and drivers on GPP by international comparison with different regional contexts with a higher number of informants. This could help both policymakers and academia for further development of public policies.

I comportamenti di cittadinanza organizzativa (Organizational citizenship behaviors - OCBs), relativi al tema della salute e sicurezza sui luoghi di lavoro e dell’ambiente (health and safety and environment - HSE), rappresentano dei fattori essenziali per rendere efficienti i modelli organizzativi. Lo studio si focalizza sull’esperienza di Eni spa, multinazionale italiana operante principalmente nel settore petrolifero e del gas. Partendo da una matura esperienza in materia HSE, Eni ha condotto un’indagine su un ampio campione di dipendenti per comprendere il ruolo dell’OCB nell’ambito del proprio modello organizzativo. L’indagine porta diversi contributi alla letteratura teorica ed empirica su OCBs e gestione HSE. In primo luogo, propone una prospettiva integrativa che spiega le principali forze motrici dell’OCB e chiarisce la relazione tra fattori individuali e contestuali. In secondo luogo, l’indagine fornisce una chiara indicazione dell’importanza della prospettiva comportamentale nella comprensione dell’efficacia delle pratiche HSE.
