“…The analysis was carried out by employing variance-based SEM, using partial least squares [74,75] through the Smart-PLS 3.2.8 (Boenningstedt, Germany) software [76]. In recent years, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has shown its footprints over diversified disciplines including marketing, accounting, human resource management, and many others [77]. Rather than following the crowd, authors have preferred PSL-SEM for several reasons.…”

“…Relationships among the dependent and independent variables were assessed, while analyzing the structural model through the size and direction of path coefficients, values of the coefficient of determination, and t-values [77,86]. Following recent studies, we treated psychological empowerment and AME as higher order (single factor) constructs [12,63,66].…”

Employees’ voluntary green behavior (EVGB) is indispensable in realizing organizations’ environmental sustainability objectives. Leaders can act as catalysts to shape the behavior of their employees. On EVGB, noticeably the missing link is investigating the influence of servant leadership and the mechanism through which it operates. Building upon self-determination and psychological empowerment theories, this research examined the impact of servant leadership on EVGB through the simple and sequential mediation of psychological empowerment and autonomous motivation for the environment (AME). Through systematic sampling, dyadic data were collected from 315 pairs of subordinates and supervisors working in the power sector organizations of Pakistan. Results were obtained by employing the partial least squares structural modeling (PLS-SEM) technique with Smart-PLS 3.2.8 software. Findings revealed that psychological empowerment and AME simply and sequentially mediate the influence of servant leadership on EVGB. Implications for theory and organizational practitioners are offered, accompanied by suggestions for future research.

“…Moreover, the issue of endogeneity must be addressed by applying the right strategy and approach in testing the issue in organizational resilience studies, including the treatment of endogeneity through introducing the control variable of the ex-post assessment with an input variable [47]. Future studies can run complementary methods to establish whether or not the issue of endogeniety is critical for the study results [45].…”

“…Notwithstanding, given the issue of endogeneity is critical in employing regression-based methods like PLS-SEM [45], the first test conducted in this study was for non-normality of the independent variables. The normality test revealed that the input variables were non-normal (see Section 3.4).…”

“…The Gaussian copula approach was next undertaken as suggested by Park and Gupta [46]. The method is based on the inclusion of error-term in the structural model to test the effect of exogenous variables' errors toward the exogenous variables [45]. The results of the Gaussian copulas (i.e., commitment, community, communication, connection, competency, coordination and consideration) for all input variables were found to be insignificant at (p > 0.05), as depicted in Table 1.…”

Effect of Information System Artifacts on Organizational Resilience: A Study among Malaysian SMEs

Conducting business nowadays has become much more challenging, and the importance of collective behavioral capacity is paramount regarding the behavior of employees along with internal information systems that form the backbone of many organizations in terms of competitiveness and survivability. This study, therefore, examined the effect of commitment, communication, competency, community, connection, consideration, and coordination on information system artifacts and the effect of information system artifacts on organizational resilience among Malaysian SMEs. To verify these statements and positioning, a sample of employees from registered organizations of the Malaysian Digital Economic Corporation Sdn Bhd (MDEC), participated in this study to examine a number of aspects. Quantitative data were collected from a total of 252 respondents through a questionnaire survey and data were analyzed using PLS-SEM. We performed the endogeniety assessment for the all the seven input variables and confirmed lack of endogeniety issues. The findings of this study constitute essential results that the commitment, communication, competency, community, connection, consideration, and coordination positively influenced the ISA. Furthermore, the mediating effect of ISA on the relationships of organizational resilience with commitment, communication, competency, community, connection, consideration, and coordination, had been revealed. The study concluded that a positive set of behavioral capital, if it exists inside organizations, enables the organizations to prosper and survive. Similarly, policymakers need to address the issue surrounding resilience in SMEs by establishing the correct benchmarking mechanism by introducing it as a formal activity to be undertaken regularly within the SMEs. Given the vast majority of employment in Malaysia and globally is provided through SMEs, if they become more resilient to change and to unforeseen events, then the employment of the vast majority of the working class can be secured across different nations.Sustainability 2019, 11, 3177 2 of 23 important. Resilience can be described as the capacity to utilize internal resources, such as people and processes within an organization in dealing with uncertainty and misfortune and accomplishment. Mallak and Yildiz [1] revealed that organizational resilience is the most important attribute of modern organizations to remain competitive and likewise, organizations with poor resilience may not survive into the next decade. Therefore, organizational resilience is the capacity that can be developed and maintained at the organizational level through utilizing resources at the disposal of the organization [2]. From a developmental viewpoint, it is a means to manage, develop, and maintain the much-needed capacities to ensure the organization is resilient [3]. This also facilitates the progression of the organization at the national level by helping to created job opportunities. In this study, the capacity viewpoint concerning organizational resilience is premise...

Determining the motivations behind adopting a circular economy (CE) and its effect on firm performance (FP) from the perspective of manufacturing firms has become essential for practitioners and scholars. Nonetheless, there exists a substantial unexplored gap regarding how customer citizenship behaviour (CCB) motivates and influences the adoption of CE practices and FP of manufacturing firms in the context of developing countries. Therefore, using insights from the social exchange theory, this study explores the framework through which CCB influences the relationship between CE practices and FP. The study employed a quantitative approach and partial least square structural equation modelling technique to analyse data and interpretations due to its appropriateness for predictive research models. Data was collected using a survey research strategy. The findings revealed that CCB mediates and moderates the relationship between CE practices and FP. The study highlights the significance of CCB in making CE initiatives mandatory for organisational growth while guiding managers, policymakers and scholars.
