A community sustainability ecosystem modeling for water supply business in thailand

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals were designed by the United Nations to help all organizations understand that any development must be balanced with the three pillars of sustainability: society, economy, and environment. Therefore, every organization must be more vigilant before introducing something that could have social consequences. This study aims to investigate all of the necessary components for proposing and establishing a community sustainability ecosystem model that supports local business sustainability with participation by highlighting essential variables that foster sustainable business prospects. The researcher distributed a questionnaire on a five-point Likert scale to 1,000 community water users in Thailand and received 627 valid responses. Using a simple random sampling technique with a sampling ratio of 14 villages, data was obtained. Subsequently, descriptive statistics are used to characterize the data (frequency distributions, percentages, averages, medians, and standard deviations). Furthermore, PLS-SEM was used to examine the relationships between factors and to launch the conceptual model using PLS path modeling. This study aimed to enhance the original Commitment-Trust theory relying on sustainability by examining the relationships between accepted variables pertaining to change agents, stakeholders, transparency, social networking, and good governance in order to provide new knowledge to the sustainability community and local sustainability businesses. In addition, this conceptual model can be applied to new business cases in which businesses need a framework that can be followed rapidly and reduces the danger of making mistakes on their own. In light of these considerations, this article proposes a novel community sustainability ecosystem model that may be adopted by the majority of businesses as a framework for managing the entire firm. Not only does it aid local businesses, but it can also adapt to any business change in order to become more profitable and sustainable.

From conceptual model to conceptual framework: A sustainable business framework for community water supply businesses

“…Therefore, based on the relevant literature review and previously published research, including related sustainable business frameworks, the researcher determined that several gaps still need to be addressed and have been compiled and formulated in greater detail, respectively. The researcher also presented a conceptual framework influenced by conceptual initiative models in community water supply (Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022a;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022b;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022c;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022d), as shown in Figure 5 and Table 6.…”

“…Thus, this conceptual framework captures the triple keys of business: value creation, value capture, and value proposition study (Baldassarre et al, 2017;Weissbrod and Bocken, 2017;Abhayawansa et al, 2021), but this article proposes a method that maintains all three throughout the process cycle and Risk Governance and Control that similar to (Adams, 2017;Lüdeke-Freund, 2020;Abhayawansa et al, 2021;Ullah et al, 2021;Vagin et al, 2022) in order to create a sustainable organization. Given these points, this study concludes with a new conceptual framework incorporating four original research papers based on the original conceptual model (Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022a;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022b;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022c;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022d). They are conducting research based on the community water supply industry, which enhances this conceptual framework.…”

“…However, it is indisputable that running a successful corporate organization requires implementing concrete transparency methods and rules to earn respect and trust of all parties involved and, most importantly, the people receiving the online service (Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022d). In general, the results (Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022a) contribute to our understanding that participation in the community's water supply has been found to overcome ethical concerns through technology, governance, and transparency available in modern social networks. All of the earlier research is still present in conceptual model-level research studies.…”

“…Furthermore, no previous sustainable business framework has examined a sustainable commercial strategy for water supply. Also, just a handful of original research studies present conceptual models in the community water supply that have significant outcomes (Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022a;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022b;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022c;Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022d). There are attempts to discover the relationship between governance, social networks, transparency, stakeholders, value creation, value proposition, and value capture in the community water supply that must be developed from the conceptual model to the conceptual framework level to complete the investigation.…”

Empirical research on the influence of corporate digitalization on green innovation

“…To address the issues of global climate change, pollution, and waste, it took into account economic, social, and environmental concerns (Sinha et al, 2021). More and more academic research is being done from the standpoint of environmental science under the setting of the sustainable development goal (Sukma and Leelasantitham, 2022a). For instance, from the macro-level perspective, Hoseinzadeh et al (2022aHoseinzadeh et al ( , 2022b applied the PRISMI PLUS Toolkit to the city of Spain and the island of Procida with a comprehensive analysis of energy, economic and environmental.…”
