    La implementación de prácticas avanzadas de gestión ambiental es un proceso complejo que re- quiere de coordinación entre las distintas unidades funcionales de la organización y de cambios signi- ficativos en los procesos vinculados al desarrollo de las operaciones. La estructura organizativa juega por tanto un papel clave en su desarrollo. En este trabajo analizaremos la relación existente entre variables organizativas en términos de la complejidad, formalización y centralización de la estructura y las prácticas ambientales. Para contrastar estas relaciones se empleará una muestra de 109 empre- sas europeas dedicadas al transporte de pasajeros por vía aérea. Los resultados obtenidos del análisis sugieren que un mayor grado de descentralización, formalización de las tareas rutinarias y horizonta- lidad inciden positivamente en el desarrollo de prácticas avanzadas de gestión ambiental

    The implementation of advanced environmental management practices is a complex process that requires cross-functional coordination and substantial operational changes. Thus organizational structure plays a central role in the generation of these practices. In this paper we analyze the relationship between different organizational variables (i.e. formalization, centralization and complexity) and environmental management practices. In order to test the hypotheses proposed we have used a sample of 109 firms coming from the European air passenger transport. Results suggest that a higher degree of decentralization, formalization of non-rutinary tasks and horizontality are positively related to the implementation of advanced environmental practices
