“…The proactive environmental protection strategies include preserving waste material, reducing energy, smoke, hazardous material, and chemical wastes regarding processes and products [12,18]. Thus, organizational practices [5,12,25], planning and organizational practices [5,15,36], and communicational practices [12,18,36] have a significant and affirmative influence on operational performance [5,12,18,25,36]. Hence, we framed the following hypotheses: H2.…”

“…The new technological advancement provides green capacities and specific resources with the help of scientific innovation. According to the natural resources-based approach, proactive environmental strategies offer the cumulative abilities and resources to secure environmental deprivation through environmentally friendly technologies, processes, and products [15,42,56]. Thus, technological advances help develop and experiment with novel openings at the corporate natural interface effectively and efficiently [55].…”

“…The companies concerned with alleviating their collision in the natural environment should know the realistic inferences of environmental hazards management. Several researchers have addressed this critical issue, such as Hunt and Auster [5], Seroka-Stolka and Fijorek [14], and Min and Oh [15]. They have differentiated the proactive companies for managing the environment rather than reactive towards the environmental hazards.…”

The objective of the undertaken study is to investigate the association between proactive environmental strategy (PES) and its determinants, such as planning and organizational practices (POP) and communicational practices on sustainable development through the operating and financial performances of the pharmaceutical sectors of south Asian countries. Moreover, we examine this relationship through the eco-innovations as a meditator and technological advances as a moderator. We developed a modified conceptual model and questionnaire and verified by 856 responses from the region’s pharmaceutical sectors. We have tested our hypothesized research model and hypotheses through SEM-based modeling. The findings confirm that proactive environmental strategy and its determinants, for instance, organization and planning practices, operating practices, and communicational practices, have a positive and significant influence on pharmaceutical firms’ sustainable development through operational and financial performance. The findings further show the substantial role in eco-innovation as a mediator and technological advances as a moderator on the sustainable development in this relationship. Subsequently, eco-innovation and technological advances lessen ecological hazards and increase companies’ functioning. Therefore, the undertaken study demonstrated and concurrently ascertained towards sustainable development of environmental and economic leaders. The practical implications are equally important for every stakeholder, such as the community, policymakers, companies, and regulatory agencies concerned with fostering eco-friendly controlling exercises.

“…Due to the aforementioned, it has become necessary to acquire and use knowledge as well as to have a modern and proactive organisation. Organisations that are able to acquire and use relevant external knowledge and, in addition, have proactive behaviour that anticipates changes in the environment and promotes internal changes, will contribute to organisational effectiveness [31,32] and the achievement of better results. These proactive companies are the first to notice the early signs of change in their environment, able to see the opportunities for competitive advantage arising from these changes and can turn them into reality.…”

Moderating Effect of Proactivity on Firm Absorptive Capacity and Performance: Empirical Evidence from Spanish Firms

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The purpose of this study was to understand how proactivity can affect the relationship between absorptive capacity and organisational performance. Most previous studies have ignored the role of proactivity in this relationship and have not considered the multidimensional nature of absorptive capacity. A questionnaire was sent to 800 CEOs of Spanish companies from different sectors, procuring a response rate of 38.25%. A structural equation model was applied to test the hypothesis. This study confirms the positive effect that absorptive capacity has on business performance and the moderating role of proactivity in this relationship. Companies that develop their capacity to absorb information from the environment achieve better results. Furthermore, if they engage in proactive behaviour within their company, this relationship is stronger. Future research should include more capacities that are related to knowledge and business performance (i.e., learning capability, innovation capacity, etc.). This study contributes to the understanding of how to manage a company’s knowledge in an appropriate way. It sheds new light on how knowledge management should be conducted, emphasising not only the gathering of information but also the promotion of a proactive attitude on the part of employees to achieve the goal of better performance.
