“…A broad understanding of facts, ideas, and connections relating to the natural environment and its primary ecosystem is what is meant when someone says they have "environmental knowledge." Researchers have recently discovered that environmental knowledge strengthens the relationship between green human resource management and pro-environmental behaviors (Sohail et al, 2022b;Farrukh, Ansari, Raza, Wu, & Wang, 2022). Researchers believe that people who have a better awareness and knowledge of environmental-related issues are more likely to pick ecofriendly products and technologies (Mustafa et al, 2022b) same is found in the case of electronic vehicles (Mustafa et al, 2021).…”

Sustainable green economy is the need of time, and eco-friendly products can play a decisive role in this goal. Low consumption of eco-friendly products is a serious concern of researchers and policymakers. To address this issue, we have studied the phenomenon in a developing country and provided insights to researchers and policymakers about the factors that influence the consumers’ behaviour in developing behaviour. We have designed an integrated model based on UTAUT to study the developing countries’ behavioural intentions towards eco-friendly products. 805 useable sample is obtained to analyze by implying SEM-ANN dual-stage hybrid model. Results revealed that environmental knowledge is a significant predictor and a moderator, but consumers are less educated about ecological issues in developing countries. Results also revealed that male and female consumers’ preferences are differently influenced by factors studied to measure adoption intentions of eco-friendly products. Sensitivity analysis results revealed that social influence followed by effort expectance and perceived expectancy of eco-friendly products are more important for developing countries’ customers. The study also provides empirical evidence of methodological advancement using SEM-ANN and suggests a dual-stage hybrid model in studies involving human behaviour.

“…Third, this sector is notorious for its environmental record (Li & Zhang, 2014) and faces extensive institutional and environmental pressure both at home and abroad (Shah & Soomro, 2021). Four, manufacturing firms' carbon footprints have led to serious concerns regarding risks to public health and environmental pollution (Farrukh et al, 2022). Thus, it is essential to investigate how manufacturing firms can reduce their environmental footprint in Pakistan by employing GHRM practices, E-PEB, GRI and ESTR.…”

Green human resource management and environmental performance: The role of green innovation and environmental strategy in a developing country

et al. 2022

A vast literature supports the notion that green human resource management leads to superior environmental performance. This study argues that green innovation, environmental strategy and pro-environmental behaviour facilitate the relationship between green human resource management and environmental performance in the manufacturing industry of developing countries. To test the mediating effect of green innovation and pro-environmental behaviour alongside the moderating role of environmental strategy in the proposed model, we collected and analysed data from 410 manufacturing firm managers operating in Pakistan using partial least square structural equation modelling. The mediating and moderating results highlighted the significance of green innovation, environmental strategy and pro-environmental behaviour to excel in environmental performance through operational efficiency, appropriate environmental strategy and human willingness to indulge in environmental activities. The findings also suggest implications for theory and practice in similar developing countries. The study offers generalisability in developing countries sharing the same economic and social structure.

“…In similar way, authors suggested the use of stringent environmental tax laws (Doğan et al 2022 ; Shahzad et al 2021 ) to persuade businesses to use cleaner methods of production. Farrukh et al ( 2022 ) claimed that an environment vigilant behavior can be promoted in organizations if green leadership and green human resource practices are there. The environmental pollution caused by industrialization can be reduced with increased use of renewable energy sources (Usman and Balsalobre-Lorente 2022 ).…”

China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a game changer initiative of South Asian Pacific Rim. It has great importance for almost all Asian countries. Its success is expected to dictate the economic development of the stakeholders. The aim of this study is to evaluate the essential determinants deriving the sustainability of CPEC projects. The design of the study comprises of the review of literature, data collection, and analysis. Population under study is the folk of stakeholders of CPEC. Sampling envisages on purposive sampling design, i.e., 14 experts from within the stakeholders. Primary data is collected in the field setting through a survey questionnaire appropriate for the study. ISM is used for modelling and MICMAC for analysis and classification using inductive approach. The findings of the literature survey show that there are 23 prime determinants of sustainability of CPEC projects. The results of ISM show that 13 determinants are at Level-I , nine at Level-II , and one determinant namely “economic globalization” is at Level-III being the most critical and driving determinant. The findings of MICMAC show that only one determinant is classified in independent quadrant, and all the remaining determinants are in linkage quadrant, whereas, no determinant is shown in autonomous and/or dependence quadrant. But most of the determinants have potential to be classified in dependent and independent quadrants. It is intimately evident that the results of MICMAC corroborate the results of ISM. It is useful for folk of the stakeholders by way of developing an understanding about the multitude of determinants, intra-determinant relations, prioritizing the determinants for policy decisions, and/or for building future studies. This study has some limitations, e.g., the study uses qualitative approach and answers what and how questions that do not quantify the relations or tell the cause of indicated relations.
