This study is based on a qualitative method, following the interpretive tradition, an abductive approach. To take the full perspective on organizational members, a case study on a restaurant with a sustainable business model has been conducted. The data collection of this study is done by conducting six in-depth interviews, two observations and additional document analysis. This thesis contributes to knowledge by creating an in-depth insight into how the espoused values and the construed external image, studied from a CSR perspective, influence a restaurant's organizational members. Additionally, our case study could potentially help hospitality organizations holding a similar context. (Less)
