Impact of Organizational Behavior on Carbon Emission: Data Analysis from Developing Countries

Data collection
The main aim of this research paper is to examine the impact of the organizational behavior
related to climate change on the emission of carbon. To examine the impact the data was
collected from 60 firms from three developing countries, namely India, South Africa, and Brazil.
The focus for the research is on the developing countries as the emission of carbon is increasing
in these countries with the economic growth taking the pace. So, the data from the developing
countries has been extracted from the master data set. The selection of companies from each
countries was based on the random selectiono(Doytch & Uctum, 2011; Millimet & Roy, 2011).
Extracted data was cleaned in excel and the missing values were addressed. Once the data was
ready, it was exported to SPSS for the descriptive and inferential analysis.
Data analysis (descriptive)
The descriptive statistics results show that the average emission of Co2 for the selected firms is
130927619401. However the standard deviation is also very high which means that the emission
of Co2 is different for different firms and there is high variation among them. The skewness is
positive indicating that the data is positively skewed. Other results from the descriptive statistics
are also shown in the table below.
Similarly the mean value of the change in emission for the firms shows that the average change
is 9.5 % with standard deviation of 12.78. This indicates that variation is very high.

The results from the histograms are shown in below which has been shown in the figures below
and the results shows that the emission of Co2 do not follow the normal distribution. Most of the
firms have low emission whereas some of the firms have very high level of emission. .
Categorical variable
The descriptive results for the categorical variables have been shown through the pie charts
which are easy and effective way to present the categorical variables

Results shows that for 90 % of the firms the board has the highest level of direct responsibility
for carbon emission, followed by the senior managers which comprises for 7 % of the firms.

Similarly 80 % of the firms provide incentives to their managers to reduce the emission of
carbon.
