Desempeño sustentable y resultados de excelencia administrativa en minas pétreas en el Estado de México 2019: un estudio exploratorio

Stone mining traditionally neglects sustainable performance, focusing only on the economic benefits for owners. The purpose of the present study is to identify the link between sustainable performance and results of administrative excellence in context of Mexican stone mines. In this quantitative study of exploratory scope, field work was carried out for applying questionnaires to a non-probabilistic sample (n = 37) of owners, administrators or cooperative representatives of stone mines. The questionnaire was based on standards of the Global Report Initiative and result indicators of the Model of the European Foundation for Quality Management. The Pearson test detects that the social and environmental components of sustainable performance are related to results of administrative excellence, but not the economic element; it is concluded that sustainable performance practices favor the results of mining companies, although they are applied to a small extent without noticeable impact on economic sustainable performance.
