“…The prior literature in the CSR domain is mostly concerned with the impact of CSR activities on the economic performance of an organization [ 43 , 44 ]. This is quite recent in the literature that researchers have shown an increasing concern towards the relationship between CSR and environment management [ 45 , 46 ]. Other studies have also demonstrated that CSR and organizational environmental performance are positively related [ 39 , 46 ].…”

While prior studies have largely addressed corporate social responsibility (CSR) at a macro or institutional level, its importance at the micro or individual level is to date underexplored, especially in the context of developing economies. Further, it is not clear from the studies in the extant literature how the role of females is more important in the context of environmental management as compared to males. Similarly, micro-level CSR (MCSR) is emerging as a “new organizational value”, and the organizations that acknowledge this “new organizational value” and incorporate it into their business operations are likely to achieve sustainability objectives far better as compared to their counterparts. The present study investigates the impact of MCSR on employees’ pro-environmental behavior with the moderating effect of gender in the healthcare sector of Pakistan. The data were collected from five large hospitals in the city of Lahore through a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) in AMOS software. A total of 533 out of 800 responses were received, which were used for data analysis of the present study. The results revealed that MCSR positively influences employee’s pro-environmental behavior, and gender moderates this relationship but the moderating effect of females is stronger as compared to males. The findings of the present study would help policymakers understand the importance of MCSR as a “new organizational value” to influence employees’ pro-environmental behavior with a special focus to promote the proactive role of females at workplaces.

“…This study gathered data approximately exogenous constructs and endogenous constructs at a same time by using questionnaire. Thus, there is a chance that CMB occurs that disturb the whole data (Kraus et al 2020). Since the data was composed through a single basis, thus, primary test the matter of CMB by following the recommendation of Kock and Lynn (2012), and Kock (2015).…”

“…Since the data was composed through a single basis, thus, primary test the matter of CMB by following the recommendation of Kock and Lynn (2012), and Kock (2015). Few of the researchers suggested to use some procedural remedies to reduce CMB influence (Kraus et al 2020;Podsakoff, MacKenzie & Podsakoff 2012). First, to avoid this problem, the researchers give assurance to respondents that their evidence is in the safe indicators then no one can use this without your permission (Kraus et al 2020).…”

The purpose of this research is to study financial risk, product risk, privacy risk, and convenience risk influence on internet buying behaviour with trust as moderator. For this purpose, data were gathered from students that are studying in HEC recognized universities in Punjab, Pakistan. Five hundred fifty questionnaires were used for analysis by using the partial least square equation modeling technique. Outcomes reveal that financial risk, product risk, and privacy risk significantly decrease online shopping behavior. Trust significantly enhances online shopping behaviour. Trust moderates between (product risk, privacy risk, and convenience risk) and online shopping behaviour. This research is the pioneering research that tests the moderating role of trust between financial risk, product risk, privacy risk, convenience risk, and internet buying behaviour by using TPB theory and SET theory.

“…This environment is determined by two concepts nowadays: sustainability -as demand from stakeholders at large (Seth, Sethia & Srinivas, 2011;Seuring & Müller, 2008;Kraus, Rehman & García, 2020) -and digitalization which has the potential to boost efficiency and provide better customer service of the companies (Becker, Knackstedt & Pöppelbuß, 2009;Lenka, Parida & Wincent, 2017;Demeter, Losonci & Nagy, 2020). Both of these concepts add to the overall competitiveness of companies and demand new capabilities and attitudes e.g.…”

In this paper the authors investigate the relationship of advanced information and communication technology (ICT) use and the environmental performance on the company level. Their presumption is that companies with advanced ICT can have better environmental performance as well. The level of ICT development is assessed by Pham’s model, while environmental performance is interpreted along with the model of Schultze and Trommer. The authors tested the models and the relationship of ICT and environmental performance by statistical analysis, using the database of Hungarian Competitiveness Research Centre. Regarding the results, there is a positive connection between high-level ICT use and environmental performance in many aspects. Since advanced ICT allows companies to gather and analyze data extensively, the monitoring of the environmental performance indicators and the intervention, continuous development can be more efficient. Environmental sustainability is not the privilege of large companies, middle size companies are also intensely dealing with this important issue.
