There are numerous approaches to sustainability; one of them is the notion of green economy. Society is more aware of business operations' environmental impact since industrial operations contribute to environmental imbalance. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) act as a catalyst for the development of economy. The current study examines impact of green transformational leadership (GTL), green innovation (GI), and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on sustainable business performance (SBP). Sample size of this study was 500, selected with help of the purposive sampling technique, and 319 responses were saved & used for analysis. Managers of diverse departments were respondents who were linked with small & medium enterprises (SMEs) operating in Punjab, Pakistan. Statistical tools (SPSS-20 & AMOS-21) were utilized for reliability, validity, and hypotheses testing.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Firm Performance in GCC Countries: A Panel Smooth Transition Regression Model

There is evidence for mixed effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on corporate financial performance. In particular, evidence is reported to be positive, negative, and insignificant. These controversies are generally explained by two opposing schools of thought, which are the social impact hypothesis and the shift of focus hypothesis. This paper attempts to contribute to the ongoing debate by investigating whether the relationship between CSR and firm financial results is nonlinear. Therefore, this research relies on a panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model in order to calculate the value transition threshold of CSR in 70 Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) firms from 2015 to 2020, using the CSR composite index and various CSR dimensions, which include environmental, social, and governance transition dimensions. Empirical findings indicate that investment in CSR does not help to boost corporate value until it exceeds the value transition threshold. However, when the marginal benefit exceeds the cost, CSR investment becomes a positive contributor to corporate performance. Furthermore, results indicate that the nonlinear relationship persists when using the individual CSR dimensions, i.e., governmental, social, and environmental CSR measurements. Finally, an interesting finding shows that the social CSR dimension is associated with the highest threshold level. Hence, firms should invest more in the social aspects of CSR in order to see their profitability increase.

“…In this research project, the design of the questionnaire tried to guarantee at all times an adequate collection of statistical information to test the hypotheses. As in similar studies, different strata (sector, size, and region) were determined and then simple random sampling techniques were applied (Cuevas-Vargas et al, 2022;Feng et al, 2022;Li & Li, 2021;Sarfraz et al, 2021). The sample, once cleaned, totaled 1,879 SMEs, with a sampling error of 3.2% and a confidence level of 95%.…”

This paper analyses the intention of Spanish companies to continue using telework after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. With this aim, we consider the influence that the management of several variables related to one of the key stakeholders, employees, has on this intention. This line of study is of great interest, given the implications not only for the management of companies, but also for key aspects such as the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. To this end, we start with a review of the relevant literature on this topic, which allows us to raise various research hypotheses. This is followed by an analysis of a sample of 1,879 Spanish SMEs though a binary logistic regression model, which shows the positive influence of managers’ university education and companies’ orientation towards innovation on the use of telework after the pandemic.
