PurposeThis study explores the relationships among sustainability implementation barriers (resource, managerial and regulatory barriers), sustainability practices (sustainable construction materials, sustainable construction design, modern construction methods and environmental provisions and reporting) and sustainability performance (environmental, economic and social) in hill road construction (HRC).Design/methodology/approachPrimary data were collected from the 313 HRC practitioners with the help of a questionnaire, and research hypotheses were tested employing structural equation modeling.FindingsThe findings reveal a mixed effect of sustainability implementation barriers. Resource (managerial) barriers are negatively related to all practices except environmental provisions and reporting (sustainable construction materials), while regulatory barriers only negatively impact modern construction methods. On the other hand, all sustainability practices positively impact environmental performance, whereas economic (social) performance is positively influenced by all practices, except environmental provisions and reporting (modern construction methods), and positively affects economic performance.Originality/valueIn order to transform HRC toward sustainability, the barriers to sustainability implementation, sustainability practices and performance need to be understood by practitioners; however, the relationships have not previously been empirically assessed in extant literature. Besides, past research appears to be predominantly focused on the environmental aspect, thereby neglecting economic and social aspects. This study is a modest attempt to bridge these research gaps.

“…Here, the sample size was 400 and meets the minimum requirement of sample size. To test the assumptions, maximum likelihood estimation method was utilized (Bubber et al, 2022). Indicators of a well-fitted model are the goodness-of-fit (GFI) indices developed by Hair et al (2010), the Tucker and Lewis (1973) index (TLI), and the confirmatory fit index (CFI) developed by Bentler (1990).…”

In recent years, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has attracted a lot of attention from academics and businesspeople as an essential part of any company's ability to thrive. Many research papers had published focusing on CSR. However, very few studies examine CSR's multidimensions (economic, philanthropic, environmental, and ethical) on behavioral intentions with the mediating impact of brand recognition. To explore customer's hotel experiences, the proposed hypotheses were tested with a Structural equation model. Results show that all forms of CSR (ethical, economic, environmental, philanthropic) positively relate to the hotel's brand recognition and behavioral intentions (revisit intention, making recommendations, willingness to pay more). The link between CSR and behavioral intention is found to be significantly mediated by brand recognition. Because of this, the current study has developed a theoretical framework to explain the interplay among CSR factors, brand recognition, and consumer behavioral intention. By checking CSR activities' impact as a focal factor in enhancing hospitality industry facilities, this study offers empirical implications for hotels.behavioral intentions, brand recognition, corporate responsibility, corporate image | INTRODUCTIONHospitality is a very ancient tradition in India. Among the world's other very diversified nations is India, which provides visitors with various low-cost recreation options that include heritage, cultural and natural attractions (Gupta, 2017). Several studies have found that guests often chastise hotels for using disproportionate quantities of numerous natural resources, such as food, electricity, and water, to offer the best

PurposeThis paper aims to present a simple and innovative fuzzy methodology-based lean performance measurement system (L-PMS) for an Indian automotive supply chain. The paper also enlightens the influence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on supply chains and the practical implications of the unprecedented disruptions on the performance measurement systems.Design/methodology/approachThe L-PMS is divided into three phases. In the first phase, the key performance indicator (KPI) list, as deemed fit by the organization, is prepared using literature and suggestions from the case organization. The list contains 61 KPIs measuring 24 performance dimensions in seven functional areas of the supply chain. In the second phase, the KPI performance data (actual, best and worst) are collected using the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. In the last phase, the leanness score of the case organization is calculated at four levels – KPI, dimension, functional area and overall organization.FindingsThe overall leanness score of the case organization is 60%. The case organization uses KPIs from all seven functional areas, but it needs to improve the number of KPIs in administration and supplier management functional areas. The case organization uses only quantitative KPIs. However, the performance dimensions at the middle level are adequate. The leanness level of the case organization in different areas is highly variable (ranges from 45% to 91%).Research limitations/implicationsThe major limitation of the study is that the case study is done at a single organization.Practical implicationsThe managers at the different levels of the hierarchy can use the lean performance measurement score to leverage the better performing areas/dimensions/KPIs and improve poor performing areas/dimensions/KPIs. The lean performance measurement at functional area level can help leadership to give responsibility to different people for the improvement of leanness with respect to different dimensions/functional areas. The disruptive impact of COVID-19 should clearly be understood by the managers to make appropriate decisions based on the severity as measured at different levels.Originality/valueAccording to the authors' best knowledge, this is the first lean performance measurement application at the four hierarchical levels (KPI, performance dimension, functional area and overall organization).
