“…Influenced by the driving factors, these enablers are broadly the attitudes and behaviors of colleagues, leaders or the organization; these are required by employees to create a healthy work life (Mone and London, 2010). At level 4 in the TISM model are teamwork and communication, learning opportunities, autonomy and creativity at work and the positive impact are supported by previous studies (Lewis et al, 2001;Mosadeghrad et al, 2011 (Mosadeghrad et al, 2011;Maletič et al, 2018). Therefore, organizations have started focusing on providing platforms for employees to learn new skills and techniques (Mone and London, 2010).…”

Sustainability is defined a triple bottom line approach, which concentrates on economic, social and environment growth of any organisation. In order to achieve sustainability objective, the human resource focused enablers are playing a significant role in optimising expenses, improving productivity and quality of work. Therefore, the present study seeks to build a model for the enablers of human resource development for sustainability in India power sector. The study findings help the sector to improve the productivity of their workers and establish all the enablers, which can be seen to improve quality of work life in the Indian power sector.Improved human resource capabilities and work conditions provide not only much needed motivation to power sector employees to improve their efficiency but also assist to accomplish social-ecological-economic organizational sustainability. Total Interpretive StructuralModelling with Matrice d'Impacts Croisés Multiplication Appliqués à un Classement (MICMAC) analysis has been applied to build a structural model and to identify the driving force and dependence power of enablers. Validation of relationships among the enablers and managerial implications are also discussed. According to the findings, the enablers 'work safety and healthy working conditions' have the highest driving power. The outcomes of this study can help the power sector to enhance human resource capabilities and quality of work life within the organization through provision of a benchmark model and help to accomplish sustainable development initiatives in its business.

“…To broaden the understanding of SEXPLOR and SEXPLOI, Maletič et al (2018) adopted the contingency theory to examine the relationship between SEXPLOR/SEXPLOI and firm performance. They found that the effect of SEXPLOR and SEXPLOI on firm performance depend on various contexts, including environmental competitiveness and uncertainty [45]. Subsequent studies expanded the factors that affect the relationship between SEXPLOR/ SEXPLOI, and firm performance.…”

“…SEXPLOR is likely to enhance firms' capability to obtain sustainable solutions, e.g., green products, process, and knowledge. In terms of technology innovation, new designs, products, and distribution channels brought about by SEXPLOR can help to find new markets and differentiate firms from their competitors [42,45,56]. Thus, firms with a high-level SEXPLOR are likely to obtain long-term competitive edges and the higher business performance.…”

“…Thus, SEXPLOI is likely to improve business performance through the nature of exploitation innovation. In terms of sustainable development, SEXPLOI is committed to green development, ecological protection, and reducing environmental impacts through process improvements during the product cycle [45]. Therefore, SEXPLOI enhances firms' capability and thus improves pollution prevention and recycling utilization to reduce the consumption of resources and energy.…”

Environmental Regulation, Environmental Commitment, Sustainability Exploration/Exploitation Innovation, and Firm Sustainable Development

et al. 2019

The links among firms’ environmental regulation, innovation process, and sustainable development has been analyzed, but a research gap still remains in terms of environmental commitment and different types of sustainable innovation in firms’ sustainability. Through collecting a dataset of 380 valid respondents from Chinese manufacturing firms, this paper incorporates evironmental regulation, environmental commitment, sustainability exploration innovation, sustainability exploitation innovation, environmental performance, and business performance into a multiple mediating effect model. Our key emperical findings are as follows: (1) Environmental regulation not only cannot affect environmental performance and business performance, but also cannot affect the two types of firm performance through sustainability exploration innovation or sustainability exploitation innovation; (2) The relationship between environmental regulation, environmental performance (or business performance) is subsequently mediated by both environmental commitment and sustainability exploitation innovation; (3) Environmental regulation does not affect environmental performance (or business performance) through environmental commitment and sustainability exploration innovation. These results do, however, support the Porter Hypothesis in terms of revealing a new multiple mediating effect path dominated by environmental commitment and sustainability exploitation innovation. Our findings can provide a better understanding of how environmental commitment and sustainability exploitation innovation play a key effect in helping firms relieve the pressure from environmental regulation, and thus improve their environmental management while keeping their competitive edge.

“…Many factors, such as competitors, technology, distributors, and customers, are the sources of environmental uncertainty [57]. Li and Atuahene-Gima [58] found environmental uncertainty to be the most important driver of firms' decision to adopt environmental practices. It also was an important factor in shaping corporate environmental strategy in Wu's [57] study.…”

Impacts of Environmental Factors on Waste, Energy, and Resource Management and Sustainable Performance

et al. 2019

The management of waste, energy, and resources has received special attention from academics and practitioners due to the growing evidence for its effects on the environment. The aim of this study is to investigate the environmental drivers of waste, energy, and resource management and, in turn, its effect on the sustainable performance of manufacturing firms. The data were collected from a survey of 173 large manufacturing firms in Malaysia and analysed using partial least squares. The results indicate that although environmental regulatory pressure, customer pressure, environmental uncertainty, and expected business benefits have positive effects on the extent of waste, energy, and resource management, social responsibility has no effect. Furthermore, waste, energy, and resource management has a positive effect on the sustainable performance of large manufacturing firms. The findings of this study extend the knowledge of the drivers and outcomes of waste, energy, and resource management. The results can help policymakers to adjust policies and strategies in a way to inspire managers to implement waste, energy, and resource management.
