“…Currently, corporate responses to sustainability issues are influenced by the sustainability concerns of a growing number of stakeholders, and responsible behavior has been recognized as essential for corporate success and survival [ 9 , 40 , 41 ]. Enterprises must clarify their important stakeholder relationships, systematically evaluate the impact of corporate actions on stakeholders, and then actively adjust their responsible behaviors to maintain a mutually beneficial strategic partnership with stakeholders or reconcile differences [ 12 , 42 ]. On the one hand, the action of enterprises responding to the demands of stakeholders helps enterprises mobilize and share the capital, knowledge and technology of stakeholders [ 43 ], which helps enterprises form strategic partnerships with stakeholders [ 10 , 14 ] while promoting the formation of specific environmental and social capabilities [ 10 , 14 ].…”

Responsible innovation, as a new management paradigm that balances the need for profit growth and the appeal of social value, plays an important role in taking into account corporate economic, social and environmental performance. It provides new ideas for driving enterprises to become more risk-resistant and sustainable in times of crisis. However, existing research on responsible innovation has mostly focused on content issues, and there is a lack of sufficient research and empirical studies on its effectiveness in business organizations. Based on the stakeholder theory and the research logic of “pressure–behavior-performance”, this study investigates the formation mechanism of responsible innovation and its impact on corporate performance. Through empirical research on 306 Chinese sample data, the results show that stakeholder pressure has a positive impact on corporate sustainability performance and responsible innovation plays a partially mediating role in this relationship. Flexible routine replication positively moderates the relationship between stakeholder pressure and responsible innovation, while positively moderating the mediating role that responsible innovation plays between stakeholder pressure and corporate sustainability performance. This study contributes to helping enterprises recognize the importance of responsible innovation in responding to stakeholder pressure and promoting corporate sustainability performance in times of crisis.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has emerged as an imperative for every sector globally. Yet, for a long time, the concept of CSR has been regarded from an organizational perspective. However, the importance of CSR in shaping the extra-role behavior of employees, such as their pro-environmental behavior (PEB-E), has been under-explored in the literature. Against this backdrop, the current study aims to investigate the impact of CSR on PEB-E with the mediating effect of work engagement (W.E) in the context of a emerging country. The study also employs stewardship theory as an alternate theory to explain the proposed relationships. The data of the current study were obtained from SME sector through a self-administered (paper-and-pencil method) questionnaire. A random sample of employees (n = 398) from different SMEs was selected and analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results of the current survey revealed that CSR directly and indirectly, via W.E, predicts PEB-E positively. The findings of the current study will be helpful for policymakers to understand that well-planned CSR activities, not only create positive repute for an SME, but also provide the underlying justification to its employees to be engaged in different environment-specific behaviors.

Stakeholders play an important role in improving SME performance through stakeholder functions as trainers, analysts, coordinators, specialists, and financial providers [12]. Performance prism also provides a comprehensive performance measurement by translating stakeholder satisfaction and contributions towards organizational goals, strategies, business processes, and capabilities, for example, in the batik industry [13].…”

XYZ company is one of the small-medium enterprises (SME) engaged in the batik industry with the main focus on making muslim clothes made from printed batik and batik. The company cannot evaluate the cause of the turnover decrease because no performance measurement has been applied. Therefore, a company performance measurement is carried out using the performance prism approach because a company performance appraisal is needed stakeholder contributions using the performance prism approach. Stakeholders of this company are consumers, employees, community, capital owners, and suppliers. Supporting the performance prism framework, the AHP method was used to determine the weighting and hierarchical structure and then carried out a scoring system with the help of OMAX to determine the company's actual score. This design shows that corporate stakeholders, including owners, consumers, employees, suppliers, and the surrounding community, obtained as many as 34 KPIs. From the implementation of the performance measurement system with OMAX scoring obtained the value of company performance based on satisfaction aspects (6.489), contribution aspect (6.582), and capability aspect (5.646). Recommendations are also given to improve it.
