“…If employees perceive that their efforts are recognized by the company, they are likely to develop productive attitudes and carry out their tasks in a highly productive manner (Tsai, 2013). Wang et al (2018) indicate that POS leads employees toward achieving organizational goals, enabling them to become emotionally attached to the company. POS would thus manifest itself in a positive feeling for an employee with regard to their work environment, reducing stress levels and giving him or her the opportunity to develop further creative behaviors (Eisenberger et al, 1986).…”

PurposeInnovation is one of the most important foundations on which to create and sustain competitive advantages in companies, but at the individual level, employee innovative behavior has recently been jeopardized by the situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g. changes in workplaces, employee interaction, motivation). This study analyzes wellness programs and actions through which organizations have tried to adapt to the new situation caused by COVID-19 and their effect on employee innovation behavior.Design/methodology/approachStructural equation modeling by means of the partial least squares technique was used to test the study's hypotheses after collecting survey data from Spanish companies, providing evidence that wellness programs and measures to deal with COVID-19 through perceived organizational support and affective commitment encourage employee innovation behavior.FindingsThe results suggest that efforts developed by firms focused on employee well-being to overcome difficulties caused by the pandemic strengthen innovative behaviors by means of intrinsic motivation based essentially on personal commitment. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed by the paper's authors.Originality/valueThis paper corroborates and extends previous research regarding wellness programs, perceived organization support and affective commitment. It provides a comprehensive model of relationships that predicts employee innovative behavior. It analyzes the influence of enterprise wellness programs based on protective COVID-19 measures.

“…Although financial performance is still the main goal of many organizations, they are beginning to study and implement practices on sustainable development (Afzal et al, 2017). Researchers (Esteves et al, 2012;Lawler & Worley, 2012;Istrate et al, 2017;Batista & Francisco, 2018;Wang et al, 2018;Lueg et al, 2019;Barbosa et al, 2020;Ren & Jackson, 2020;Xu et al, 2020;Nader et al, 2022) demonstrated that in order to ensure market competitiveness and corporate reputation, organizations need to implement triple sustainability practices: economic, environmental and social improvement practices. These practices must be analyzed according to the organization size, to the level of business maturity, strategic planning and organizational structure (Batista & Francisco, 2018).…”

Organizational sustainability efforts focus on three main areas: people, profit, and the environment (Elkington, 1998). With an increasing emphasis on sustainable development, economic entities are concerned with achieving long-term performance, the capacity to create value and to meet the needs of interest groups (investors, employees, customers, communities, local development), but also on the development, promotion and implementation of concrete actions for environmental protection. This study aims to identify the current stage of the relationship between sustainable development and financial performance, in order to identify key elements, trends and research gaps. Based on these considerations, we performed a quantitative analysis of a sample of 62 articles from 3 databases (ScienceDirect, Scopus and Web of Science), which we subsequently studied qualitatively.

“…It is crucial to understand that employees are the most important stakeholders in any improvement initiative aimed at improving business performance (Škerlavaj et al, 2007). In practice, organizations should promote perceived organizational support and other related mechanisms to maintain employee engagement (Albalawi et al, 2019) and achieve the desired level of sustainability performance (Wang et al, 2018). As such, it is necessary to focus on intangible resources, such as employee involvement and engagement in sustainability initiatives, that can lead to higher job satisfaction and better performance results.…”

Purpose Innovation is the backbone of sustainability. Although many efforts have been made to conceptualize sustainability-oriented innovations, the impact of these organizational practices on performance has not been adequately explored. This paper, therefore, aims to fill an important gap in the literature by exploring the relationship between sustainability innovation practices and performance outcomes. Specifically, this study examines the relationship between sustainability innovation practices, non-financial performance and economic performance. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM) to estimate both the direct and indirect effects of sustainability practices on economic performance. The data were collected on the basis of a large-scale survey of 266 European organizations. Findings The results show that sustainability innovation practices directly and indirectly influence economic performance through non-financial performance outcomes (i.e. innovation performance, environmental performance and social performance). Originality/value The scientific value of this paper is provided by showing that sustainability innovation practices lead to certain performance improvements and by providing a model to better understand the links between non-financial performance outcomes and economic performance.
