“…Furthermore, “industrial power” is a term that describes a company’s status in a social rank or hierarchy and its level of influence inside a particular industry (Feng et al 2015 ; Khan et al 2021 ). In the case of high industrial power, firms are often highly recognized with respect and recognition from the competitors in terms of performance and status of the firm, which is socially constructed (Deng et al 2022 ; Lee 2009 ).…”

“…CSR has become widespread in many firms over the last few decades. In this research article, we have specifically focused on the environmental domain of CSR called environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR) because it can significantly enhance the production of critical resources while simultaneously reducing the negative impact on the environment (Deng et al 2022;Işik et al 2017;Song and Yu 2018). Furthermore, it would be easier for the firms to manage growing pressure from society, government, and international agencies and help firms to have a competitive advantage in the market (Calantone et al 2002;Khan et al 2022).…”

In this study, we integrate the signal institutional theory and stakeholder theory to examine partnership restructure as a critical mechanism linking environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR) to corporate financial performance. Keeping in line with most prior studies, we first argue that a positive relationship exists between ECSR and firm performance. Then we propose that partnership restructure mediates the nexus between ECSR and firm performance because ECSR may motivate firms to change their partners in the better interests of the firms. In addition, we propose that the firms’ industry power will exaggerate while dysfunctional competition will weaken the positive nexus between ECSR and partnership restructure. Evidence based on a survey covering 206 manufacturing firms in China offers good support for our predictions. This last section offers research contributions and implications for the managers based on the findings.

“…Fine it is calculated by the ratio of loans to deposits [ 45 ]. The improvement of Fine it might stimulate the usage of high energy consumption products, e.g., air conditioners, and increase environmental pollution [ 46 ]. On the contrary, financial development efficiency when increased can alleviate funding restriction to stimulate technological innovation, which can reduce R&D risks, and promote GTFP growth [ 47 ].…”

Green total factor productivity (GTFP) is an excellent index for green development. The objective of this study was to check whether environmental regulation (ER) can affect GTFP through the mediating role of foreign direct investment (FDI) quantity and quality. Using the super-efficiency Epsilon-based measure (EBM) model and a Malmquist–Luenberger (ML) index, China’s GTFP growth was measured during 1998–2018. On this basis, we adopted a Systematic Generalized Method of Moments (SYS-GMM) to analyze the effect of ER on GTFP. The findings show that China’s GTFP declined first and rose again during the sample period. GTFP in the coastland was greater than that in the inland region. ER positively affected China’s GTFP growth. FDI quantity and quality mediated the nexus between ER and GTFP growth in the whole nation. Specifically, this mediation role of FDI quantity and quality was only significant in coastal China. Additionally, financial development can also boost GTFP growth in China. Given the importance of developing a green economy, the government should improve the FDI quality and attract green FDI.

“…Energy is essential in facilitating daily activities and is considered a primary need in modern life (Baig et al 2022 ; Ren et al 2021 ). All sectors of life are associated with or dependent on energy (Deng et al 2022 ; Ongan et al 2022 ). The increasing energy needs require adopting and promoting energy sources that can meet the extensive energy requirements and save energy for future generations (Ali et al 2021 ).…”

Energy is a necessary source of economic development and social prosperity, linked with primary production and consumption activities worldwide. In this regard, solar home systems (SHSs) are beneficial in two ways, i.e., saving vitality overheads and meeting the energy demand of small enterprises. The current study aims to evaluate the performance of adopting SHS to develop the small-scale industry in Pakistan. An inclusive questionnaire survey was conducted, and respondents were selected using the purposive sampling method. As a step further, we scrutinize the moderating role of awareness and understanding of technology between the node of adopting SHS and the monetary enactment of small-scale industry. We authenticate the model using a sample of 357 respondents by applying the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The results indicate that low-cost energy through SHSs has a progressive and substantial linkage with the demonstration of small-scale industry and enhances the quality of energy supply in Pakistan. Similarly, awareness and understanding of SHS significantly moderate the relationships between enhanced energy supply through SHS, the quality of SHS, and the performance of the small-scale industry. These findings provide a valuable guideline to the regulation developing authorities that more attention is needed to focus on SHS to further improve the performance of small-scale industry.
