“…The PLS-structural equation modeling method was used to test the hypotheses, as the PLS-SEM method is used to test and evaluate complex statistical models [90,91]. CB-SEM is another method that can also be used to examine the structural model quality [92].…”

Industries strive to prevent ecologically destructive actions in their supply chains. At the same time, the optimization of their resources is a major concern for industries to minimize carbon emissions, boost sustainable practices, and improve a country’s long-term economic development. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the impact of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) methods on operational performance with the mediation of technological innovation, in the context of Pakistani manufacturing firms. The partial least square-structural modeling (PLS-SEM) method is adopted in this paper. Data were gathered from 223 different manufacturing firms in Pakistan and then analyzed among these variables. The data show good validity and reliability, and structural model explains 61% of the variance in operational performance and 45.4% of the variance in technical innovation, demonstrating its predictive validity. The R-square criteria classify R-square entities of 0.67, 0.33, and 0.19 as considerable, moderate, and weak, respectively. It is demonstrated that all the f-square values are greater than 0.020 and 0.35, indicating a significant effect on the model’s validity. The findings of this study reveal that GSCM practices have a significantly positive effect on both technological innovation and operational performance. Technological innovation has a direct influence on operational performance and has a partial mediating effect on the relationship between GSCM practices and operational performance. Therefore, this research offers managers insight into the importance of technological innovation and GSCM practice adoption to achieve competitive advantages. It further provides the groundwork for managers, practitioners, and environmental management researchers to emphasize the value of GSCM practice in improving operational performance.

“…While the reliability test is determined through Composite Reliability with a high-quality minimum value of 0.800 with the support of a minimum value of 0.6000 on Cronbach Alpha (J. Zeng et al, 2021). Based on the results of the measurement test in table 2, all Composite Reliability and Cronbach Alpha values are above the minimum, so it can be concluded that the reliability of this study has been fulfilled.…”

This study was motivated by the importance of exploring the factors that influence people's intentions to buy or use Islamic financial products during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Research with quantitative technique was carried out in the form of an online survey and tested using the structural equation model (SEM) method with the SmartPLS version 3.0M application. Sampling in this study used convenience sampling technique and obtained 456 respondents. The results of this study showed that almost all variables, namely religiosity, subjective norms, Islamic financial literacy, awareness, perceived behavioral control and attitudes were proven to be strong predictors of intention to use Islamic financial products. This research provides recommendations to various parties, both financial institutions, Islamic organizations and even the government need to collaborate to strengthen the level of Islamic financial literacy in the community. In addition, this study also provides recommendations to build public trust in the Islamic economy, especially Islamic banking through collaborative development of an Islamic economic roadmap including strengthening the role of Islamic banking both in terms of infrastructure and human resources. Various parties must come together to build a strong Islamic financial ecosystem and economic recovery post-Covid-19 to develop a prosperous and prosperous Indonesian economy in accordance with Islamic ideals as Rahmatan lil 'Alamin.

“…The PLS-SEM method is a second-generation technique which was developed to analyze multidimensional relationships between multiple variables in a model, especially in the social sciences (Rigdon, 2012). In addition, the PLS-SEM method is also applied in construction management (Zeng et al, 2021). Path models are graphs that visually display the relationships of hypotheses and constructs, including a measurement model and a structural model (Latan & Noonan, 2017).…”

This paper identifies potential barrier factors affecting effectiveness and development (ED) of ITS projects as well as criteria for measuring ED of ITS projects in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The study discovers the barrier constructs, and analyzes data using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling method (PLS-SEM). The results provides a general and comprehensive overview of the main issues of ITS, and identifies 28 barrier factors with five main constructs affecting ED of ITS projects, namely the lack of undivided attention from the government (AG), financial constraints for ITS (FC), inadequate transport infrastructure (ITI), the over-development of urbanization (ODU), and the readiness and integration for ITS (RI). This paper fill the knowledge gap by discovering the causal relationships between barrier constructs and ED of ITS projects in Vietnam. Also it proposes several solutions for these issues, which are also a useful measurement tool for government agencies, planners, and traffic system designers to help them self-assess and make action plans now or in the near future.
