“…The concept of green purchasing has been gaining increasing attention in countries across the globe, especially in Pakistan, China, and Sri Lanka (Ali et al, 2020;Ghosh, 2019;Karunathilake & Cooray, 2021;Khahro et al, 2021). In these countries, purchasing practices have taken a strategic role, specifically in large manufacturing firms (Ivanova, 2020), and are a new area of exploration (Yee et al, 2021).…”

Increasing businesses adverse operations and unsustainable practices are causing rise in environmental concerns. The adoption of green capabilities could be a promising step that can ease environmental problems and achieve green ideology in businesses. In the current study, green capabilities and green purchasing practices were critically theorized and a theoretical framework was developed to address the sustainability problems in supply chain. The data were collected from manufacturing firms located in emerging countries and covariance‐based structural equation modeling (CB‐SEM) was utilized for the testing of hypotheses. The findings indicate that green capabilities have a crucial role in adoption of green purchasing practices. Also, the results elucidate that green purchasing practices have a positive effect on economic and environmental performance while having insignificant effect on social performance. The current research work provides guidelines that help practitioners and academicians comprehend the structure and concept of green purchasing practices in industrialized manufacturing firms distinctly.

“…Similarly, the composite reliability (CR) and average variance extracted (AVE) of all constructs in the model were both within the acceptable ranges of.70 and.50 as adopted by Al Ameri et al ( 2022) and Khahro et al (2021). Based on the HTMT.90 criterion, the discriminant validity result shows that discriminant validity was achieved (HTMTinference = 0.891).…”

Healthcare organizations play an important role in people's well-being all over the world; good healthcare facilities are extremely beneficial in combating many diseases worldwide. Innovation is one of the most important factors influencing service quality in healthcare organizations worldwide, particularly in the UAE. The pandemic, changing human needs and globalization have made organizations more aware of the importance of improving patients' experiences through improved service quality and innovative services, which has become a winning strategy and provides organizations witha comparative advantage over others through customer confidence building. This research assessed mediating effect of service quality on health services innovation and outpatient experience. The model was developed with the help of SmartPLS software package and the data was gathered through questionnaire survey. Analysis of 397 questionnaire forms were used to analyze direct relations between service quality and service innovation with out-patient experience as well as indirect effect of service innovation on out-patient experience through service quality. The developed model was confirmed through convergent validity and discirminant validity. The R-square reveals that service innovation accounted for approximately 47% of the variation in service quality. While service innovation and service quality explained approximately 80% of the change in outpatient experience. This means that a unit change in both service innovation and service quality improves the outpatient experience by 80%.

“…The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and SEM-AMOS were used to analyze the data. SEM is a very effective tool to determine the relationship between the unobserved variable, named as latent variables and observed variables named as measured or manifest variables, is assessed (Khahro et al 2021, Rahman et al 2022, Almansoori et al 2022. Before evaluating the structural model, this study will conduct a series of confirmatory analyses to determine the measurement model's reliability and validity.…”

With the advanced communication technology and working from home concept, many organisations are relied on virtual teams to accomplish business activities across their remote branches or global affiliations.This paper presentedthe formulation of Model on factors affecting Virtual Team Performance in UAEorganisations. The modelconsisted of two independent variables namely Communication Competence nad Cultural Intelligence constructs, one dependent variable which is Virtual Global Team Performance construct and two mediating variables which are Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing construct. The model was constructed using the questionnaire data collected from 318 respondents who were employee in UAE organizations. After the model was developed, it was assessed at each of measurement compondents for fitness criteria. Once, all themeasurement components had achieved the goodness-of-fit criteria, the measurement components were tied up to form structural model according to the conceptual framework. The structural model was evaluated for its ability to meet the fitness criteriawhereitfound that collarotion, communication competene, cultural intelligence and knowledge sharing have positive significant effect virtual global team performance. Furthermore, the positive significance of the mediating effect of collaboration and knowledgesharing is confirmed. This meansthat knowledge sharing and collaboration can have a significant impact on the success or failure of virtual team performance.
