“…and the problematic responses were deleted accordingly. After that, Smart Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied to confirm the hypothesis that has the advantage to validate each step in systematic way and display results only in one click, and has better performance in predictive studies (Rehman et al 2021 ; Kabra et al 2017 ; Rehman 2023 ; Rasool et al 2023 ). PLS-SEM has no hard issues of data normality, handle complex model, and preferable in formative models (Rehman 2019 ), and was considered suitable in this study.…”

“…Concisely, the management of resources is a main concern of success among production SMEs (Rasool et al 2023 ), and a considerable challenge in transition process. Moreover, there are worst climate change and environmental issues in Pakistan (Mir et al 2022 ), but still there is lack of interest to adopt the circular economy initiatives among firms in Pakistan (Uddin et al 2023 ).…”

Recently, the trend of circular economy innovation (CEI) drive SMEs to initiate more sustainable practices to attain market competitiveness but rare attention has been paid in emerging economies. Hence, this study plans to explore the impacts of CEI on the triple bottom lines (TBL) efficiencies in the light of market competitiveness among the production SMEs in emerging economies. The study complied data by using a survey-based technique in Pakistan, Malaysia, and China. With a sample of 306 for each segment, data were evaluated with PLS-SEM to clarify results. The findings reveal that CEI has positive significant effects on the market competitiveness and TBL efficiencies among the production SMEs in emerging economies. The findings also clarify that market competitiveness mediates the relationship between CEI and the TBL efficiencies. The findings elaborate the theoretical foundations for environmental-based production SMEs to formulate more sustainable strategies in the light of CEI to gain market competitiveness. It also clarifies the understandings of policy makers and environmental regulators by providing a novel precursor to frame the environment-based TBL guidelines for SMEs. It adds to the UN sustainability agenda by elevating the role of CEI as a novel domain among emerging economies grounded on the resource-based view theory.

“…The typical research effort generally aims for a suitable synthesis of directly measurable elementary indicators to describe a multi-dimensional phenomenon (Crocetta et al 2021). Bhatia and Kumar (2022), Rasool et al (2023) and emphasised that PLS-SEM represents an appropriate technique to test the hypothesis with no normally distributed data, mainly when a study focuses on the development of theory in formative and exploratory analyses. Rehman et al (2021) and Rehman and Zeb (2023) highlighted that PLS-SEM offers a systematic mechanism for validating relationships among different constructs-also dealing with complex models-and predicting relationships between the latent variables.…”

Recent governmental concerns regarding the persistent long duration of judicial proceedings have drawn attention to efficiency issues in this sector. This paper provides insights into the Italian scenario, investigating potential relationships between Italian judicial efficiency and several latent constructs identified as relatively more significant than others. For this purpose, a two-step procedure was used, considering data envelopment analysis (DEA), precisely the slacks-based measure (SBM), and partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Beyond ranking courts according to their technical efficiency, findings reveal that judicial efficiency has significant relationships with performance, quality and context features. At the same time, results do not show evidence to support a relationship with proceeding features. What emerges from the work is that the analysis of heterogeneity seems to offer relevant evaluation leverage, and significant differences appear among Italian courts. These insights and the model provided would represent a useful analysis tool for specific policy assessments, supporting the evaluation of regulatory measures and structural reforms relevant to judicial administration.

“…Therefore, Voorhees [60] suggests that HTMT is better for analyzing discriminant validity than Fornell and Larcker. Similarly, HTMT is another methodology used to check correlation accuracy [61] Table 2 shows the outcomes of each item. Therefore, the HTMT value of each item is less than 0.90.…”

This study investigates the relationship between communication factors, stakeholders’ engagement, and project success (P.S.) of renewable energy in Pakistan. The aim of this study is to identify the communication factors that impact the success of renewable energy projects. The research investigates multiple dimensions of communication factors such as internal communication, external communication, leadership, relationship, and corporation. Moreover, we also tested the indirect relationship using the stakeholder’s engagement (S.E.) as a mediating variable. We used a quantitative approach using the questionnaire survey. The random and snowball sampling technique was used to collect data from the project managers, project engineers, and team leaders associated with renewable projects in Pakistan. We collected data in two phases. In the first phase, between August 2023 and December 2022, we distributed 400 complete research questionnaires. In return, we received 337 questionnaires, 84% of the distributed questionnaires. Similarly, between January 2023 and February 2023, we distributed 350 research questionnaires; in return, we received 255 questionnaires, which is 73% of the distributed questionnaires. However, we collected data from the 592 respondents engaged with renewable energy projects. Further, the structural equation modeling technique (SEM) was performed to analyze the study data through SmartPLS 4.1. The outcomes confirmed that communication factors significantly and positively impact the project’s success. The results guaranteed that communication factors have a positive and significant relationship with the stakeholder’s engagement. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that stakeholders’ engagement mediates communication factors and project success, enhancing the project’s success.
