“…To analyze the data, a two-step approach was used [84]. In the first step, which is called the measurement model, the validity and reliability of the variables were investigated [85][86][87]. In the second step, the hypotheses were tested.…”

Nowadays, manufacturing firms are pressured by governments, non-governmental organizations and customers to operate in a sustainable manner. Although lean practices may provide environmental, social, and financial benefits to firms, their effect on sustainable performance is ambiguous. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of lean manufacturing practices on firms’ environmental performance by considering lean culture as a moderator. Data were gathered through a survey of 187 manufacturing firms in Malaysia and were analyzed using the partial least squares technique. The results indicate that process and equipment, product design, supplier relationships, and customer relationships have a positive and significant effect on sustainable performance. It is also interesting to observe that lean culture positively moderated the effects of process and equipment and supplier relationships on sustainable performance. These results have important implications for enhancing the sustainable performance of manufacturing firms through lean manufacturing practices.

“…Based on Hair et al's [61] suggestions, the two-step approach was applied for analysis of the data in this research. In the first step, the measurement model was analysed to determine the validity and reliability of the constructs [62][63][64]. In the second step, the proposed hypotheses were tested using the bootstrapping technique with 2000 replications.…”

The transportation sector has dominated global fuel consumption and as a result, greenhouse gas emissions have risen at an alarming rate. As a consequence, many countries have adopted policies and strategies to diversify their fuel sources in the transportation sector. Biofuel is one of the potential substitution fuels that has attracted the attention of both researchers and policy makers. Public acceptance of biofuels is one of the major challenges for the implementation of biofuel blends in transportation. To determine the influence of different values that affect drivers' willingness to pay for biofuels, the theory of consumption values is applied in the present research. The data were gathered by distributing questionnaires to 343 Malaysian people with driving licences and access to cars. The data were analysed using the partial least squares technique. The results of the analysis revealed that functional values, specific condition, emotional values and novelty seeking were among the main factors that influence drivers' willingness to pay for biofuels. Social values were shown to not be a significant factor. The results of the study contribute to the literature by testing the relationship between consumption values and willingness to pay for biofuels. The information provided in the present research might be beneficial for policy makers in modifying tactics and strategies towards the successful promotion of the usage of biofuels in developing countries.

“…The term 'regulation' in the present context refers to environmental procedures and rules that are imposed on firms by the government and regulatory institutions to push them to implement environmental initiatives such as WER management [18,38]. Regulation is a commonly cited driver of firms' environmental practices [17,18,39], as is customer pressure [18,40]. According to Han et al [41] and Han and Hwang [42], as customers are increasingly aware of environmental issues, they impose ever greater pressure on firms to be responsible for the impacts of their activities on the environment.…”

“…The uncertain business environment pushes firms to be more proactive than firms in less turbulent environments [43]. Expected business benefits is another isomorphic pressure that researchers have found to be an important driver of environmental practices [18,40]. The expected business benefits of implementing environmental practices can be either financial or non-financial, and include, for example, enhancement of the firm's reputation, cost reductions and revenue increases [45].…”

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

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.
