“…This research has various managerial and practical implications. The research’s results, for instance, comes consistent with Channa et al ( 2021 ) and He and Harris’s ( 2020 ) argument, which shows that managers should devote significant time and effort to establish a consistent approach for implementing CSR practices to address and solve labor issues, particularly during the pandemic. Supported by Elsafty and Ragheb’s ( 2020 ) argument, during this time, Egypt tended to control the economic and social repercussions of the outbreak while also attempting to resolve labor issues.…”

“…Based on the social cognitive theory (Beck et al 1979 ), recent studies like Ahorsu et al ( 2020 ) and Qiu et al ( 2020 ) showed that people could change or modify their attitudes and norms to deal with the concerns of environmental or natural disasters. Thus, during the current crisis, both managers and employees tend to reconsider the social practices and taking advantage of opportunities in the current situation to improve SMEs’ CSR practices (Channa et al 2021 ; Jian et al 2020 ). Moreover, based on the stakeholders’ theory (Freeman 1984 ), Channa et al ( 2021 ) stated that labor is considered an essential partner in society that requires special attention.…”

Graphical abstract Based on both the “stakeholder” and “cognitive” theories, this study shed light on the optimistic side of the COVID-19 pandemic, as it also brings the concepts of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability back into the light, which helps in solving the labor environmental issues. Our research aims to profoundly investigate the correlation between CSR and labor environmental issues based on the International Organization for Standardization’s standard 26,000 (ISO 26000) during COVID-19 and to also examine how CSR practices help solve labor environmental issues in the Egyptian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was adopted, for data analysis and hypotheses testing, on a sample of 307 manager-level employees in the Egyptian SMEs. Results indicate that CSR positively impacts labor practices dimensions (employment relationships, human development and training, social dialog, and health and safety at work). However, CSR has an insignificant effect on social protection and work conditions. This study is scientifically valuable since it helps better understand the pandemic’s effects on environmental labor issues in the Egyptian SMEs and shows how CSR helps solve those issues. Also, it discussed the theoretical contributions and practical implications and showed the limitations and future research for this study area

“…PLS-SEM has widely been spread recently in marketing research; it has been established that PLS-SEM's unique methodological features distinguish it from other SEM approaches (Hair et al , 2012). Although researchers (Goodhue et al , 2012; Ronkko et al , 2016; Ronkko and Evermann, 2013) criticized the PLS-SEM approach, this technique has widely been used in a number of studies in domains such as strategic management (Hulland, 1999), organizational behavior (Higgins et al , 1992), consumer behavior (Fornell and Robinson, 1983), marketing (Reinartz et al , 2004, Bhutto et al , 2020; Channa et al , 2020) and corporate social responsibility (Channa et al , 2021). Albers (2010) sees PLS-SEM as the choice for success factor studies in marketing management.…”

PurposeUsing three theoretical lenses − organismic integration theory (OIT), theory of values-belief-norm (VBN) and gender schema theory (GST) − this study aims to examine the effect of environmental factors (environmental attitude, environmental concerns, perceived environmental responsibility and peer influence) on consumers' intentions to purchase eco-friendly athletic wear.Design/methodology/approachA sample of n = 380 Pakistani consumers was used to test hypothesized relationships. Data were analyzed through the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique using SmartPLS version 3.3.3.FindingsFindings suggest that environmental attitude, environmental concerns, perceived environmental responsibility and peer influence are positively associated with green purchase behavior. The moderating effects of individual green values were found statistically significant between peer influence and green purchase behavior. The data further revealed that the effect of environmental attitude, environmental concerns, peer influence and perceived environmental responsibility on green purchase behavior varies across the gender.Originality/valueThis research is one of the first attempts to explore the effect of environmental motivational factors on consumers' intentions to purchase eco-friendly athletic wear using theories of OIT, VBN and GST. This study employs advanced analytical methods to perform multi-group analysis and establish the predictive relevance of the model, using PLS-SEM in sports management and marketing context.

“…In this context, organizations are among the biggest contributors to environmental unsustainability (Robertson & Barling, 2013;Ab Wahab, 2021;Channa, Hussain, Casali, Dakhan & Aisha, 2021), is a major problem currently experienced, the world level. Accordingly, the United Nations highlights the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim at sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources, for companies and people, proposing to ensure more sustainable production and consumption patterns (Agenda 2030(Agenda , 2021.…”

Objective: This article aims to analyze the relationship between eco-innovation, sustainable awareness, environmental strategy, organizational performance and environmental impact, in the face of 210 respondents from Northeast Brazil.Methodology: The methodology used was a quantitative and descriptive research, through a survey applied to 210 respondents, analyzed using descriptive statistics, statistical tests and multiple linear regression.Originality: Original with respect to the constructs developed for the research, where three constructs (eco-innovation, sustainable awareness and organizational performance) were adapted from the literature and two (environmental strategy and environmental impact) were developed by the researchers, as it is a model that has no empirical validation in the studied environment (Northeast Brazil). Understanding the relationships between the constructs is relevant, which are paramount for companies, for reducing the environmental impact and consequently improving the quality of life of people and the planet.Results: The results show that the most important relationship occurred with the factors that influence the reduction of the environmental impact, which presents as predictors, issues associated with the environmental strategy to reduce the degradation of natural habitats and long-term sustainability.Theoretical Contributions: The study statistically validated the Constructs and scales of research, so this Framework can be used by other researchers, as well as contributing to the advancement of academic studies related to the researched themes.
