Cleaner production practices at company level enhance the desire of employees to have a significant positive impact on society through work

Abstract

Implementation of cleaner production practices (CPP), service quality (SQ) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) is often studied at organizational level. A number of studies on trio have reported it’s significant impact on overall organizational performance and profitability across the globe. However, not much is studied about the individual level micro influence of these constructs on employee engagement (EE), organizational pride (OP), organizational identification (OI) and “desire to have a significant impact through work” (DSIW). Therefore, this study presents a comprehensive framework for assessing the impact of the implementation of CPP, SQ and CSR on EE, OP, OI and DSIW. Data collected from 320 non-managerial staff members employed at a garments manufacturing company in Pakistan was analyzed using partial least square (PLS) approach. Findings revealed that the implementation of CPP, SQ and CSR plays an important role in shaping EE, OP, OI and DSIW in the garments manufacturing industry. Further, it is found that the implementation of CPP has a non-significant impact on SQ. Additionally, results of the importance-performance map analysis (IPMA) have also confirmed that the implementation of CPP at company level has shown a highest importance and performance amongst all the latent constructs proposed as predictors of DSIW in the garments manufacturing industry. These findings are a step forward and unique contribution of this study in the domain of CPP, SQ, CSR, EE, OP, OI and DSIW.

Gestión empresarial del talento humano desde la política de responsabilidad social. Una revisión sistemática

“…Si bien es cierto que la RSE enfoca el sentido del cuidado ambiental desde la perspectiva de la naturaleza, su sentido ético y filosófico permite una integración hacia los entornos técnicos y los puestos de trabajo. Esto apuntaría a: un desarrollo social sostenible del quehacer operativo y administrativo de las mismas empresas; la capacidad de autorregulación del personal para potenciar sus competencias y desempeño laboral; la construcción de una cultura organizacional generadora de valores, sentidos y significados en función del trabajo; además del desarrollo de las capacidades de absorción, transformación y cambio de la organización como un todo que evoluciona constante y dinámicamente con los ambientes externos renovables propio de la naturaleza productiva y competitiva de los mercados económicos (Guerci, Longoni and Luzzini, 2016;Kunz, 2020;Farooq and Salam, 2021;Jamal et al, 2021;Madani, 2021;Rehman et al, 2021;Úbeda-García et al, 2021;Shah et al, 2021;Sarwar, Ishaq and Franzoni, 2022).…”

Sustainable development in the wine industry: The impact of the natural environment and gender‐diverse leadership

“…In order to achieve sustainable development, cleaner production practices have become increasingly popular among firms (Giannetti et al, 2020; Hens et al, 2018; Song et al, 2020; Vilkė et al, 2021). By cleaner production, we mean practices that seek to reduce a firm's environmental footprint, while demonstrating stewardship of the natural environment (Farooq & Salam, 2021; Giannetti et al, 2020; Hens et al, 2018; IPCC, 2007; Vilkė et al, 2021). Given that consumer awareness and demand is up and that governments around the world continue to advocate for standards for engagement in cleaner production practices (Giannetti et al, 2020; Hens et al, 2018; Testa et al, 2019; Vilkė et al, 2021; Wei et al, 2017), research interest has gained momentum during the last decade in particular.…”

Cleaner production practices, implementation concerns and measurement: A systematic literature review

“…Lastly, understanding how the literature discusses CP evaluation is vital for supporting decision-making processes within organizations, particularly those related to sustainability and environmental impact reduction.Our research is justified by the pressing need to comprehensively understand and advance CP practices. For example,Farooq and Salam (2021) point out that CP practices have been studied in areas, such as service quality and corporate social responsibility. By addressing these research questions, we contribute to the sustainable development and environmental responsibility agendas, offering valuable guidance to organizations, researchers, and policymakers in their efforts to adopt and promote CP practices.…”
