“…In this study, strategic leadership refers to the ability of top management to influence employees to make voluntary decisions that enhance the longterm sustainability of the firms whereas at the same time preserving firm's short-term economic stability (Rowe, 2001). Top management commitment is the participation and the provision of the senior management of firms (Khalil et al, 2011) towards adding value and shaping the SMP implemented by firm (Drumwright, 1994). The commitment of senior management in strategic leadership roles is crucial as it influences the decision making associated with sustainability initiatives in manufacturing firms due to the decision process by either the values of powerful individuals or the organisation's values rather than a widely applied decision rule (Bansal and Roth, 2000;Jabar et al, 2011).…”

The growing concern of the negative impact of manufacturing activities on triple bottom line has led researchers to embark on sustainable manufacturing study. Empirical evidence from previous research has demonstrated that sustainable manufacturing is a comprehensive strategy to minimize the negative impact to the environment. However, study on the link of sustainable manufacturing drivers and firm performance in Malaysia remains inconclusive, thus need for further investigation. Moreover, the possible explanation for the inconsistent relationship is due to the difference in firm size of manufacturing firms involved in sustainable manufacturing activities. This research intends to investigate the moderating effect of firm size on the relationship between SM drivers and firm performance. Data was collected from selected industries in manufacturing firms in Malaysia and analyzed with SEM-AMOS. The empirical result revealed that firm size moderates the relationship between market forces and strategic leadership with firm performance. The relationships between policy and regulation and resource availability with firm performance were not significantly moderated by firm size. The results indicate that larger firms will experience a higher rate of firm performance as having advantage of firm size compared to smaller firms.

“…Organic farming technology is defined as using traditional method and original farming knowledge as at the same time implementing selected modern technologies to enhance diversity into the farming system (Bhatta et al, 2009). It is also as an alternative to conventional agriculture that can sustain agricultural development, may avoid much negative effect to the environmental cause by human activities (Lankton et al, 2015;Khalil et al, 2011), food safety and can enhance the economic performance (Hu et al, 2012;Tuomisto et al, 2012;Popiel et al, 2012;Maffei et al, 2013;Patil et al, 2014;Ponti et al, 2012;Santos et al, 2012). A production system that sustains the purity of soil, ecosystems and people can defined as organic farming technology.…”

Sustainable Farming Technology has captured the interest of developing countries and the numbers are growing because it relies on the availability of natural and human resources. Sustainable farming is still a new way or method of farming in the industry. The local farmers here in Malaysia are still not familiar with the sustainable way of farming. Some of the farmers have implemented such technology however failed to achieve success since they are lack of knowledge and expertise. For the last decades, the influence of technology has driven the changes in most of the organization. Trusting in technology or believing that a technology has desirable attributes seems reasonable because we talk about trusting in non-human entitles in everyday discourse. Environmental-related technology has become more important in influencing and shaping organizational strategy and enhances economic returns. Nowadays, business culture is moving towards green business initiatives. There are growing attention of entrepreneurs recognize that doing sustainability or anything related to green is good for their business and also to the environment. Specifically, the objective of this study is to identify the factors that encourage farmers to accept Sustainable Farming Technology. Factors for predicting the acceptance of Sustainable Farming Technology is expected to be produced at the end of the study. The research is also aimed to add value to the existing literature in the study of farmers using sustainable farming technology in their business and towards the national agenda.
