Sustainability issue has been given great attention from many stakeholders which include Malaysian manufacturers. Manufacturing organizations face the sustainability issue which leads manufacturers to realize the importance of achieving corporate sustainability performance and various steps have been taken in achieving the organization sustainability performance. Islamic work ethics provide guidelines for employees in sustaining the organization in a sustainable manner while carrying out the manufacturing activities. Malaysian government has highlighted the importance for every individual to have good ethical values. The objective of this paper is to examine the effect of Islamic work ethics on corporate sustainability performance which comprises of economic, environmental and social sustainability performance. Questionnaires are distributed to the employees from middle to top level of management in chemical manufacturing organization. This study uses multistage sampling technique and the data is analysed using Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis. The findings indicate that there is a positive effect of Islamic work ethics on the three dimensions of corporate sustainability performance which are economic, environmental and social sustainability performance. This study contributes to the body of knowledge on sustainable manufacturing by investigating the effect of Islamic work ethics on corporate sustainability performance. This study will guide employees in achieving corporate sustainability performance by the implementation of Islamic work ethics in the work place.

Sustainability has been seen as a crucial issue that is being faced by many sectors in Malaysia which involves manufacturing sector. The Malaysian government has enhanced manufacturing organizations to apply green practices in the working environment to achieve corporate sustainability performance. In order for an organization to achieve corporate sustainability performance, the practices of the organization in using green technology such as sustainable transport is very important. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of sustainable transport on corporate sustainability performance with the moderating role of organization age. Drawing data from 130 Malaysia chemical manufacturing organizations, the model studies the moderating role of organization age on the sustainable transport and the corporate sustainable performance of the organizations. Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis is used in this study in order to analyze the data and the multistage sampling technique has also been used in this study. The results show that there is a positive relationship between sustainable transport and corporate sustainability performance. The results also suggest that organization age do not moderates the effect of sustainable transport and corporate sustainability performance. In achieving corporate sustainability performance, this study is important as it will guide employees in the manufacturing sector especially in chemical manufacturing organizations to practice the appropriate green practices such as sustainable transport.

“…This method is always faster and cheaper than conducting an interview, and it reduces the likelihood of social desirability bias without sacrificing the sensitivity of the data being collected [77]. Due to the prevalence of sustainability problems in the chemical manufacturing sector, it was chosen as the focus of this research [82].…”

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study examines the impact of sustainable design on firms’ social sustainability performance, and the moderating role of Islamic work ethics in this relationship. 344 chemical manufacturing organisations in Malaysia were invited to participate in a survey. Data from 130 completed questionnaire sets were subjected to partial least square (PLS) analysis. The results demonstrated significant effect of sustainable design on social sustainability performance. It was also shown that Islamic work ethics moderate the relationship between sustainable design and social sustainability performance. Al-Quran and hadith were used to support this study to link the relationships of the variables under study, particularly in the context of chemical manufacturing organisations in Malaysia. The present study has furnished significant theoretical contributions of how the Natural-resource-based view theory and stakeholder theory could be incorporated into the present proposed framework with the inclusion of the moderating role of Islamic work ethics, and eventually enrich the findings of extant research. As for practical contributions, businesses in the chemical industry would make well-informed decisions about which eco-friendly practices, particularly sustainable design, to adopt in order to attain social sustainability performance and successfully implement Islamic work ethics. Direction for future research is also recommended.
