Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to analyse the drivers of sustainable entrepreneurial practices in SMEs operating in a developing economy. The secondary objectives are to explore the relationship between these drivers and to draw out the implications for policy and practice. Design/methodology/approach -The paper is informed by the literature on sustainable entrepreneurship, and on the drivers of pro-environmental practices in SMEs. It reports on the results of an intensive multi-level empirical study, which investigates the environmental practices of SMEs in Pakistan's leatherworking industry using a multiple case study design and grounded analysis, which draws on relevant institutional theory. Findings -The study identifies that coercive, normative and mimetic isomorphic pressures simultaneously drive sustainable entrepreneurial activity in the majority of sample SMEs. These pressures are exerted by specific micro-, meso-and macro-level factors, ranging from international customers' requirements to individual-level values of owners and managers. It also reveals the catalytic effect of the educational and awareness-raising activities of intermediary organisations, in tandem with the attraction of competitiveness gains, (international) environmental regulations, industrial dynamism and reputational factors. Practical implications -The evidence suggests that, in countries where formal institutional mechanisms have less of an impact, intermediary organisations can perform a proto-institutional role that helps to overcome pre-existing barriers to environmental improvement by sparking sustainable entrepreneurial activity in SME populations. Originality/value -The findings imply that the drivers of sustainable entrepreneurial activity do not operate in a "piecemeal" fashion, but that particular factors mediate the emergence and development of other sustainability drivers. This paper provides new insights into sustainable entrepreneurship and motivations for environmental practices in an under-researched developing economy context.

“…Neste artigo, o tema é compreendido em coerência com o conceito de triple bottom line, envolvendo intrinsecamente no negócio as dimensões econômica, social e ambiental do desenvolvimento sustentável (Parrish, 2008;Schlange, 2006;Thompson et al, 2011). Desta forma, foram seguidos os critérios para o empreendedorismo sustentável propostos por Schlange (2006) Com base nos critérios da Tabela 1, observa-se que o empreendedorismo sustentável, como adotado neste artigo, abrange as dimensões econômica, ambiental e social, a fim de propagar os princípios do desenvolvimento sustentável, corresponder e se relacionar às expectativas de seus stakeholders, bem como gerar valores à sociedade (Aligleri, Aligreri, & Kruglianskas, 2009;Parrish, 2010;Tilley & Young, 2009). Schlange (2006Schlange ( , 2009 argumenta que o empreendedorismo sustentável se concentra em criar valores sustentáveis com base nos fatores econômico, social e ambiental; e que a integração desses fatores contribui para a sobrevivência da empresa no longo prazo, à medida que seus valores são compartilhados entre seus stakeholders.…”

Resumo A compreensão das empresas sobre os desafios sociais e a finitude dos recursos naturais tem estimulado a criação de um tipo de empreendedorismo que contempla estratégias alinhadas às dimensões do desenvolvimento sustentável. Estudos de cunho teórico recentes destacam que a criação de valores entre a empresa e seus stakeholders é condição necessária para a sustentabilidade do negócio. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar como a inter-relação entre empresas que satisfazem critérios do empreendedorismo sustentável e dos seus stakeholders fornecedores influenciam na criação de valores que contribuam para o desenvolvimento sustentável. Para tanto, utilizou-se de abordagem qualitativa e estratégia de estudo de casos múltiplos, em que foram investigadas quatro empresas e dois de seus respectivos fornecedores. Os resultados evidenciaram que a inter-relação entre as empresas estudadas e seus stakeholders fornecedores influencia na criação de valores que contribuem para o desenvolvimento sustentável à medida que os interesses mútuos relacionados às três dimensões (ambiental, social e econômica) são considerados.

The paper discussed motivations of sustainable entrepreneurship in Gauteng Province, South Africa, and estimated relationships between these motivations and enterprise performance.Despite the growing field of sustainable entrepreneurship, most of the available literature has been mainly theoretical and qualitative or has focused on developed countries. This paper contributes to addressing this gap through empirical analysis based on primary survey data from 91 sustainable entrepreneurs. Reliability of the performance and motivation scales were subjected to the Cronbach's alpha coefficient test, and the results were acceptable. The exploratory factor analysis indicated that the motivations of sustainable entrepreneurship factored into 4 dimensions: extrinsic, intrinsic, income security and financial independence, and necessity motivations. Regression analysis revealed that extrinsic and intrinsic motivations are important determinants of enterprise performance. These motivations can be targeted to promote sustainable entrepreneurship in addition to complementary support such as improving business management skills and competencies of sustainable entrepreneurs.
