Abdullah Abdul Aziz Al-Humaidan, . Sustainability orientation and environment sustainable performance: what is the role of corporate environmental responsibility. pp. 51-65. ISSN 2811-4701

Sustainability Orientation (SO) has got more attention the last few years for its role on determining managers views towards social and environmental challenges activities and performance. While research suggests a positive relationship between SO and performance little is known how such association is explained. Besides research has yet to provide how this relationship could be mediated by other factors such as environmental practices particularly across smaller businesses. Further many of the attempts are carried out in western countries and developing economies have not been explored deeply. Building on Upper Echelon Theory (UET) it has been assumed that Corporate Environment Responsibility (CER) mediates SO and environmental sustainability performance due to beliefs of the seniors that affect their behavior and consequently an enterprises outcomes. Data is collected by a survey that handled owners/managers of small and micro manufacturers in Tunisia by using a simple random probability method. AMOS and SPSS are used to analyze 87 validated questionnaires. It has been found that CER has mediated SO and environmental sustainability performance and SO CER affect organizations outcomes once they have tested their relationships directly. These results enrich sustainability and green activities domains besides helping leaders to know the factors that influence their firms performance and translate their views toward needed environmental practices across local communities. The findings of the study have thrown light on some directions for future research.

Abstract

Sustainability Orientation (SO) has got more attention the last few years for its role on determining managers views towards social and environmental challenges activities and performance. While research suggests a positive relationship between SO and performance little is known how such association is explained. Besides research has yet to provide how this relationship could be mediated by other factors such as environmental practices particularly across smaller businesses. Further many of the attempts are carried out in western countries and developing economies have not been explored deeply. Building on Upper Echelon Theory (UET) it has been assumed that Corporate Environment Responsibility (CER) mediates SO and environmental sustainability performance due to beliefs of the seniors that affect their behavior and consequently an enterprises outcomes. Data is collected by a survey that handled owners/managers of small and micro manufacturers in Tunisia by using a simple random probability method. AMOS and SPSS are used to analyze 87 validated questionnaires. It has been found that CER has mediated SO and environmental sustainability performance and SO CER affect organizations outcomes once they have tested their relationships directly. These results enrich sustainability and green activities domains besides helping leaders to know the factors that influence their firms performance and translate their views toward needed environmental practices across local communities. The findings of the study have thrown light on some directions for future research.
