Abstract

By applying the PLS-SEM method to survey the data of 350 samples in Indonesia, this paper develops a framework based on three potential elements: push effect (partnership and cooperation, rules and regulations, value practices), pull effect (government support, market sophistication, environmental awareness), and mooring effect (technological support and switching costs) about the transition of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) towards green practices. The study reveals that these factors exhibit variations in terms of statistical significance. The findings indicate that an increase in the push effect and pull effect significantly influences the switching behaviour of MSME owners/managers. In contrast, concerning the mooring effect, each element demonstrates varying levels of direct influence on the transition towards green practices in MSMEs, with some impacts proving to be statistically significant and others not. Overall, these findings shed light on the intricate dynamics of MSMEs environmental responsibility, offering valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners.

催化可持续性：探索影响微型、小型和中型企业绿色倡议的因素

本文运用 PLS-SEM 方法调查了印度尼西亚 350 个样本的数据，并根据三个潜在要素：推动效应（伙伴关系与合作、规章制度、价值实践）、拉动效应（政府支持、市场成熟度、环保意识）和停泊效应（技术支持和转换成本），建立了一个关于中小微企业向绿色实践转型的框架。研究显示，这些因素在统计意义上存在差异。研究结果表明，推动效应和拉动效应的增加会对中小微企业主/经理的转换行为产生重大影响。与此相反，在停泊效应方面，每个因素对中小微企业向绿色做法转型的直接影响程度各不相同，有些影响在统计上有意义，有些则没有。总之，这些发现揭示了中小微企业环境责任的复杂动态，为政策制定者和从业人员提供了宝贵的见解。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management is an interdisciplinary, peer reviewed, international journal covering policy and decision-making relating to environmental assessment (EA) in the broadest sense. Uniquely, its specific aim is to explore the horizontal interactions between assessment and aspects of environmental management (not just the vertical interactions within the broad field of impact assessment) and thereby to identify comprehensive approaches to environmental improvement involving both qualitative and quantitative information. As the concepts associated with sustainable development mature, links between environmental assessment and management systems become all the more essential.
