Abstract

The manufacturing sector faces sustainability issues which lead to negative consequences to the economic, environment and social sustainability performance of the sector. Cleaner production and resource efficiency which involve the use of green technology is one of the important green practices in achieving corporate sustainability performance. The objective of this study is to examine the effects of cleaner production and resource efficiency on corporate sustainability performance with the moderating role of organisational size. Drawing data from 130 Malaysian chemical manufacturing organisations, the model studies the moderating role of organisation size on cleaner production and resource efficiency and corporate sustainable performance of the organisations. The data are analysed using partial least square (PLS) analysis. The results suggest that cleaner production and resource efficiency are positively related to corporate sustainability performance. The findings also indicate that organisation size moderates the effect of cleaner production and resource efficiency on corporate sustainability performance.

清洁生产和资源效率对企业可持续发展绩效的影响:组织规模的调节作用

制造业面临着可持续性问题，这对该部门的经济、环境和社会可持续性绩效产生了负面影响。清洁生产和资源效率涉及使用绿色技术，是实现企业可持续发展绩效的重要绿色实践之一。本研究的目的是探讨清洁生产和资源效率对企业可持续发展绩效的影响，以及组织规模的调节作用。该模型从130个马来西亚化学制造组织中提取数据，研究组织规模对清洁生产和资源效率以及组织的企业可持续绩效的调节作用。数据分析采用偏最小二乘(PLS)分析。结果表明，清洁生产和资源效率与企业可持续发展绩效呈正相关。研究结果还表明，组织规模调节了清洁生产和资源效率对企业可持续发展绩效的影响。
