本文通过可持续发展领域的专业从业人员的眼睛,调查可持续发展能力,并提出了经验数据,已创建使用行动研究方法。这项研究的设计包括两个讲习班,邀请专业从业人员相互交流,并邀请主持人探讨和思考在各种商业和专业背景下成功地进行变革进程以实现可持续性所需的具体知识、技能、态度和行为。该研究的重点是与这些变化过程相关的能力,以设计,提出和进行适当的干预措施,解决可持续性问题。这种能力被称为“干预能力”,包括一套相互关联的知识、技能、态度和行为,其中包括:(试图)作出决定或干预;能够从实践的生活经验中学习,并将这种学习与自己的科学知识联系起来;能够参与与不同观点有关的政治战略思维,审议和行动;有能力表现出以目标为导向的适当行动;在干预过程中采用和传播道德实践;能够科普复杂程度,最终能够将利益相关者的多样性转化为集体制定的可持续性干预措施(行动)。此外,这种能力必须在相互竞争的价值观、非技术利益和权力关系的背景下加以实践。文章最后对未来的研究和实践提出了建议。
This paper investigates sustainability competences through the eyes of professional practitioners in the field of sustainability and presents empirical data that have been created using an action research approach. The design of the study consists of two workshops, in which professional practitioners in interaction with each other and the facilitators are invited to explore and reflect on the specific knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours necessary to conduct change processes successfully towards sustainability in a variety of business and professional contexts. The research focuses on the competences associated with these change processes to devise, propose and conduct appropriate interventions that address sustainability issues. Labelled ‘intervention competence’, this ability comprises an interlocking set of knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours that include: appreciating the importance of (trying to) reaching decisions or interventions; being able to learn from lived experience of practice and to connect such learning to one’s own scientific knowledge; being able to engage in political-strategic thinking, deliberations and actions, related to different perspectives; the ability for showing goal-oriented, adequate action; adopting and communicating ethical practices during the intervention process; being able to cope with the degree of complexity, and finally being able to translate stakeholder diversity into collectively produced interventions (actions) towards sustainability. Moreover, this competence has to be practised in contexts of competing values, non-technical interests and power relations. The article concludes with recommendations for future research and practice.
