Abstract

ABSTRACT Drawing on the theory of institution, this research investigated the effects of institutional responses, employees’ sustainability behavior, and sustainability transformational leadership on sustainability performance at seaports. Data were collected from 296 employees of port corporations in Taiwan, and a moderated mediation model was developed. Using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, this study identified four port institutional response dimensions: coercive policy, normative training, communication, and motivation. The results showed that sustainability transformational leadership, employees’ sustainability behavior, and port institutional responses positively affect sustainability performance. Employees’ sustainability behavior plays a mediating role between sustainability transformational leadership and sustainability performance. Specifically, this study found that port institutional responses play a moderated mediation effect on the relationship between sustainability transformational leadership and sustainability performance through employees’ sustainability behavior. Lastly, implications for port sustainability practices and institution theory are discussed.

港口制度响应与可持续性绩效:一个有调节的中介模型

摘要基于制度理论，本研究探讨了制度响应、员工可持续发展行为和可持续转型领导对海港可持续发展绩效的影响。本研究以296名台湾港口企业员工为调查对象，建立有调节的中介模型。利用探索性和验证性因素分析，本研究确定了四个港口制度响应维度:强制性政策、规范性培训、沟通和动机。结果表明，可持续变革型领导、员工可持续行为和港口制度响应对可持续发展绩效有正向影响。员工可持续性行为在可持续性变革领导与可持续性绩效之间起中介作用。具体而言，本研究发现港口制度反应通过员工的可持续性行为对可持续性变革领导与可持续性绩效之间的关系起有调节的中介作用。最后，讨论了对港口可持续发展实践和制度理论的启示。
