The moderating role of leadership on the relationship between green supply chain management, technological advancement, and knowledge management in sustainable performance

Revisiting the proven relationship of green leadership, green education, and green finance with sustainable development goal 3 in the context of China: does public health expenditure really mediate the relationship?

How effectively our leaders are trained and prepared for the future is the ultimate success as it helps in achieving sustainable development goals. Simultaneously, education also holds a central position to acknowledge social, environmental, and ethical issues. Besides, healthcare sector is the major subject of discussion when there is a discussion of sustainable development, the reason being its direct linkage with SDG 3 which purely preaches healthcare and well-being. The healthcare sector itself aspires to protect health; however, it is also the highest emitter of pollution that creates vicious cycle. This establishes a greater interest to determine the factors that break the cycle through the sustainable healthcare organizations which is subjected to reduce emissions and protect environment, nature, and society. The study specifically focusing on sustainable development goal 3 intends to examine the collective role of green leadership, green education, and green finance from the perspective of private sector employees. We explore whether these factors are helpful to achieve SDG3 agenda in the presence of mediator, public health expenditure. With the help of PLS-methodology, the study concludes that green leadership and green education are strong indicators of SDG3. Besides, green finance also facilitates economies to find innovative ways through which health and well-being of individuals can be taken care of. The positive and significant mediation effect of public health expenditure indicates that there is a need to dedicate the efforts toward public health expenditures.

Developing green logistic services management to achieve sustainable development in Vietnam: the role of green construction practices, green social awareness and green innovation

The selection of suitable logistic service providers is essential while making strategic decision for sustainable business. Green logistic service management is the one that incorporates sustainable practices in whole operation cycle in order to maintain product quality, timely deliveries and satisfied customers. This also helps in the prevention of products from further waste that is quite necessary in the context of emerging economies. Thus, in order to assess its effectiveness, the study proposes a framework which emphasizes that the simultaneous role of green logistic services management, green construction, green innovation, and green social awareness helps in achieving sustainable development in Vietnamese context. The outcomes revealed that the green logistic services management, green construction practices, and green innovation helps to achieve sustainability in transportation industry of Vietnam due to positive linkage. The results also exposed that the green social awareness significantly moderates among green logistic services management, green construction practices, green innovation, and sustainable development of transportation industry in Vietnam.

Linking circular economy model and green supply chain practices to shape environmental performance: case of Vietnam

The circular economy (SE) is the foremost element for environmental improvement that reduces wastage and enhances production. This aspect requires the focus of new researchers and experienced policymakers. Hence, the current research examines the impact of SE practices such as internal environmental management (IEM), eco-design, and internal recovery on the SE targeted performance, such as environmental performance in Vietnam. The research also investigates the moderating role of environmental-oriented supply chain (SC) practices such as green purchases among IEM, eco-design, internal recovery, and environmental performance in Vietnam. The research collected the data from the respondents using survey questionnaires. The research also investigates the association among variables using smart-PLS. The outcomes revealed that the IEM, eco-design, and internal recovery are positively associated with environmental performance. The outcomes also exposed that the green purchases significantly moderates among IEM, eco-design, internal recovery, and environmental performance. The research guides the regulators in establishing regulations related to achieve the high SE targeted performance, such as environmental performance using circular economy practices such as IEM, eco-design, and internal recovery.

The impact of green intellectual capital on green innovation in Vietnamese textile and garment enterprises: mediate role of environmental knowledge and moderating impact of green social behavior and learning outcomes

The knowledge economy system shifts focus on the significance of intellectual capital. Moreover, the concept itself has gained generous amount of recognition at global level due to the increasing pressure from competitors, stakeholders, and environmental forces. Indeed, its antecedents and consequences have been assessed by scholars. However, the assessment appears to be inexhaustive with respect to meaningful frameworks. With the help of preceding literature, the present paper designed a model which involves green intellectual capital, green innovation, environmental knowledge, green social behavior, and learning outcomes. The model stipulates that green intellectual capital makes green innovation possible which further results in competitive advantage in the presence of environmental knowledge as a mediator as green social behavior and learning outcomes as a moderator. Interestingly the model acknowledges the proposed relationship through the empirical evidence collected from 382 Vietnamese textile and garment enterprises. The findings provide deeper insights regarding the issue that how firms could extract maximum benefits from their green assets and capabilities in the form of intellectual capital and green innovation.
