“…As suggested by Hair, Hult, Ringle & Sarstedt, (2016) [56], the measurement model was tested at the early stage followed by an evaluation of the structural model. The measurement model explains the relations between the variables and the indicators that make up each latent variable which can be assessed based on reliability and validity of latent variables, whereas, the structural model represents the relationships between the latent variables by assessing the significance and strength of these relationships [58,59]. The authors have adopted a two-stage approach to test the second order formative construct of environmental innovation.…”

：This study is aimed to investigate the relationship between environmental performance, environmental innovation, and financial performance of firms. A total of 124 responses were collected from managers of manufacturers certified by ISO 14001 EMS in Malaysia, and the data was subjected to a structural equation analysis using the Smart PLS version 3.2.7 software. The results have endorsed environmental competitive capabilities i.e. environmental innovation and environmental performance as the key enablers for the creation of economic values for environmental proactive manufacturing firms. Moreover, environmental innovation is also found to be the mediator that transforms the benefits of environmental performance into financial performance.

“…This is by aligning internal organisational cultural traits for a more sustainable environmental performance, to which the findings ascertained were of significance to the performance of the environment. More so, similar study of Magsi et al [2] on organisational culture and environmental performance was also conducted in Pakistan; therefore, this cannot be generalised due to different cultural contexts, giving it a gap on the scope of our study. However, the aim of this study is to test it in the Nigerian context.…”

“…The findings indicate that three of the dimensions exhibit an association with specific dimensions of EAM. Magsi et al [2] considers it necessary to conduct an examination on the impact of organisational culture on environmental performance with the emphasis on organisations to implement environmental strategies with the support of imbibing organisational culture. The finding was that organisational culture as a latent variable has a strong impact on environmental performance.…”

“…In promoting a distinctive culture, organisations are expected to sense a display responsibility within the host communities, where the business activity is operated [1]. Culture is seen as a life-wire of every organisation which sharpens their organisational practice; also, decisions are intertwined around culture internally to determine the outcome to its external environment [2]. Furthermore, Srisathan, Ketkaew, & Naruetharadhol [3] affirms organisational culture as having a significant impact that strikes a chord in determining organisational performance.…”

“…However, several management processes have adverse impact on the environment ranging from pollution, poor waste management and production of non-biodegradable products [9,[19][20][21]; studies sought for the ethical value of an organisational culture's impact on the environment, but fail to address the issues of environmental performance. However, the study of Magsi, Ong, Ho, & Hassan [2] was among large proportions of studies conducted in developed countries, but outside the Nigerian cultural context, and this cultural difference may not be directly applicable to the Nigerian context.…”

An Integrated Organisational Culture for Sustainable Environmental Performance in the Nigerian Context

et al. 2020

To remain competitive within the present inherent business environment, there is a demand for organisations to embrace an integrated culture-behaviour for performance that enables them to adopt a critical engine for a more sustainable working environment. Organisational culture, which is a reflection of predominant valued beliefs, is expected to influence a sustainable environmental performance. Evidence abounds of several organisational activities with adverse impacts on humans and the environment. The study examines an organisation’s processes that can be incorporated as a culture to ensure a more sustainable working environment. This paper proposes the use of six organisational culture practices (core value, reporting system, task performance, clarity of roles, careful deliberations, and distinctive identity) to find out organisation values, as well as individual preferences in enhancing an immediate sustainable environment. The study selected 480 employees of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCGs) firms who are active in their organisational work processes; 358 responded, and as such, was deemed as a valid research sample. The empirical analysis was carried out using a variance-based Structural Equation Modelling with partial least squares for the path-modelling (PLS-SEM), both for the Algorithm Model, and the Bootstrapping Model with β and p-values obtained from the findings. The findings provide empirical evidence that there is a significant level of influence of organisational culture on environmental performance. However, among the organisational practices, task performance has the least influence on environmental performance. This implies that organisations should invest more in the dimensions of organisational culture with higher performance-importance, while adequate attention should be given to variables with the least influence on the target construct of environmental performance.

Perceptions of the academic community on the performance of sustainable development initiatives in higher education

Since the UN Conference on the Human Environment was held in Stockholm in 1972, higher education institutions (HEIs) have been adapting to assume their social role in supporting societies in promoting sustainable lifestyles. However, HEIs are complex institutions composed of several interdependent subsystems. Sustainable improvement requires holistic assessment measures to comply with established goals. To date, few studies have focused on comparing the different perceptions of sustainability in HEIs and considering the views of the academic community in shaping the efforts and better disseminating sustainable development initiatives. To fill this gap, this work aimed to implement a methodology that compares the perceptions of sustainability and the implemented actions among members of HEIs to show the discrepancies between perceptions and facts. Many studies report either the perception of members of the academic community or the technical assessment of the sustainable performance of the institution in isolation. The novelty of this work lies in developing a tool that allows the use of a similar scale to compare the perception of users of academic services with the valuation attributed by technicians responsible for implementing sustainable development initiatives at HEIs. Analysing of these results enables the identification of dimensions with discrepancies, guiding managers as they carry out actions to promote greater community engagement in implementing sustainability initiatives that boost the consolidation of these values in the institutional culture. Additionally, it is highlighted that the proposed methodology could be adapted for use in other types of institutions, maintaining the same benefits described here.
