This is fundamentally true of logistics companies as they strive to innovate their business models using digital technologies. Nevertheless, the dynamic competence gained by logistics firms while using digital technologies for BMI has not received sufficient research attention. Driven by the expedient research question, how do firms leverage digital technologies to develop dynamic capabilities for BMI, this study teases out the pathways to BMI by investigating how logistics companies engage digital resources to gain dynamic capabilities. Following the procedures established in Gioia methodology, we perform thematic analysis on qualitative data from the whitepapers of 20 logistics companies prominent for technology-enabled business models. Results reveal that while engaging digital technologies for their business processes, logistics businesses and their managers can sense opportunities for business expansion; seize these opportunities by mobilizing digital resources as well as reconfigure their processes to continue to take advantage of the recognized opportunities.  Our results contribute to the dynamic capabilities theory by building on its core arguments to explicate the theoretical foundations of BMI development. Additionally, three propositions emerge regarding the sources of dynamic capabilities in the utilization of digital technologies by digital logistics.","PeriodicalId":509393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Sustainability","volume":"56 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141810719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, to verify the impact of actions on the sensory acceptance of food products added with vegetables with low acceptability by this public. Eighty-six children aged 7 to 10 years participated. The research was organized in three stages: pre-intervention, with filling out questionnaires and sensory analysis of the products; intervention, with application of educational actions and; post-intervention, with reapplication of questionnaires and sensory analysis of products. Actions included the implementation of vegetable gardens, theoretical-practical activities and cooking workshops. The physicochemical composition of the products was carried out to ensure food safety. Educational actions reduced the degree of food neophobia and improved the acceptability of food products by children (p < 0.05). In general, the educational actions had a positive impact (p < 0.05) on the participants’ knowledge, consumption, acceptance and frequency of vegetables intake However, there was little influence to increase the planting of vegetables at home, with no change in helping children with cooking preparations (p > 0.05). The food products presented a good nutritional profile. It is concluded that educational actions carried out at school are efficient to reduce food neophobia and increase knowledge, consumption, acceptance and frequency of intake among children. Also, they improve the acceptability of food products with the addition of vegetables with low acceptance by this public.","PeriodicalId":509393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Sustainability","volume":"137 48","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141811108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduces a multi-stakeholder governance perspective to evaluate enterprises’ green environmental performance, utilizing a framework with five factors categorized into firm, government, and societal dimensions. Employing a combination of Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) and Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), it investigates specific conditions enhancing green environmental performance in new energy vehicle enterprises, drawing on a sample of 49 companies in 2021. Results indicate that high levels of green environmental performance are influenced by multiple factors, including incentives, pressures, resources, and media attention. Additionally, the study identifies a potential complementary relationship between government subsidies and green technology innovation in driving high-level green environmental performance, subject to specific conditions. These findings contribute to our understanding of corporate green environmental performance and provide practical implications for fostering sustainability in the new energy vehicle industry.","PeriodicalId":509393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Sustainability","volume":"29 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141813038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Muffins and pancakes containing spinach were developed. Two hundred and fifty children were organized into five groups: Control Group (CG), sensory analysis of the products without any educational action; Group 1 (G1), theoretical activity; Group 2 (G2), cooking workshops; Group 3 (G3), implementation and cultivation of school vegetable garden; Group 4 (G4), cooking workshops and implementation of vegetable garden. Then, the children evaluated the food products sensorially. The combination of workshop and garden (G4) increased the acceptability of the muffin for aroma, color, and global acceptance and acceptability index (p < 0.05). The isolated interventions of workshop (G2), garden (G3), and both (G4) improved the acceptance of the taste, with no significant difference between the scores of the groups for appearance and texture in the muffin (p > 0.05). Superior scores for the appearance and aroma of the pancake (p < 0.05) were observed in G4 compared to CG. G4 also showed better acceptance for color, global acceptance, and acceptability index when compared to CG, G1, and G3. Aroma and texture were not influenced by the interventions (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the cooking workshop and the vegetable garden combined are superior in increasing the sensory acceptance of food products to which vegetables with low acceptability among children are added. The preparations have a favorable nutritional profile and can be offered to children.","PeriodicalId":509393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Sustainability","volume":"81 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140261587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These challenges directly impact different HR departments and processes, prompting a need for a strategic overhaul. HR management should continuously adapt its service delivery model to align with the business model and create a balance between internal and external organizational expectations and employee needs, considering the two fundamental challenges of digital transformation and sustainable development, in an agile manner. The critical role of sustainable human resource management in fostering overall business sustainability is evident. However, in many cases, HR management has failed to recognize and demonstrate its cost structure, revenue flow, and social and environmental benefits transparently for the business. This research focuses on presenting the sustainable digital human resource management canvas and its connection to the business canvas to achieve sustainability in the digital era. Employing a qualitative research methodology, this study conducts a meta-synthesis of two pivotal concepts-sustainable human resource management and digital human resource management- leveraging data from reputable databases including Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science. Following meticulous screening and examination, a total of 17 articles from Q1-ranked journals were selected as the final articles for a more detailed and in-depth review. The findings from the meta-synthesis results consist of 5 dimensions and 23 components, ultimately presenting the sustainable digital human resource management canvas by modeling it after the business canvas. The distinct feature of this canvas, compared to other similar and conventional models, is the inclusion of individual sustainability in the value proposition and the creation of a digital value component, including artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data.","PeriodicalId":509393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Sustainability","volume":"10 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140397290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Organizational Sustainability During Economic Downturn: The LEAD Model Approach to Reducing Citizenship Fatigue","authors":"LaJuan Perronoski Fuller","doi":"10.5539/jms.v14n1p78","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5539/jms.v14n1p78","url":null,"abstract":"Leadership driven organization citizenship behavior is a management and sustainability practice that requires employees to do “more with less.” This leadership style is more evident during times of economic downturns precipitated by events such as COVID-19. Leadership-driven OCB initiatives can pressure employees to perform thereby creating stress, burnout, and citizenship fatigue. Consequently, citizenship fatigue has a negative relationship with organizational citizenship behavior. Rather than employees yielding to leadership-driven OCB pressure, this research seeks to investigate ethical leadership decision-making that alleviates stress and burnout that leads to citizenship fatigue outcomes. This research applies the Leader Ethics and Decision-making model to investigate the potential to resist citizenship fatigue within the five dimensions of organizational citizenship. The study consisted of 285 full-time employees in the United States. The findings concluded that LEAD influences the five dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior. Additionally, citizenship fatigue did not influence LEAD’s ability to influence OCB. Leaders, managers, supervisors, and decision-makers can apply the LEAD model as an ethical leadership strategy that reduces burnout and pressure and positively influences organizational citizenship behavior. Leaders, managers, and supervisors can adopt the LEAD model for sustainability management during economic downturn to foster a resilient, high-functioning, culturally diverse, and sustainable workforce. Therefore, integrating ethical leadership into management and sustainability practices assist in times of economic downturn and ensure long-term organizational viability.","PeriodicalId":509393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Sustainability","volume":"38 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140262875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article aims to explore the reasons why complex organizations have adopted on purpose the CSR report to meet their needs and to discover why they have chosen to adopt the integrated report as an alternative to the sustainability report. This study is based on an explanatory case study of two healthcare organizations that have exactly implemented Integrated Reporting (IR), instead of Sustainability Reporting. The research method used is the field study. This work points out how organizations create and use CSR reports, even if they are not mandatory. If the IR looks like a “managerial innovation”, there is always a risk that the diffusion of these tools could simply be the latest popular trend, followed by internal or external proponents, rather than a rational decision-making process. The study has implications for the policymakers, the organizations, and their integrated report. The policymakers can understand if this tool can be useful for the organizations, to promote internal CSR. The study contributes to literature about the willingness to publish CSR reports, as an expression of the internal and external factors that influence voluntary reporting choices.","PeriodicalId":509393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Sustainability","volume":"14 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140262280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Customers, regulators, employees, suppliers, social and activist groups, media and lenders are all potential stakeholders in sustainability accountability (Arif et al., 2021; Camilleri, 2015; Sajjad et al., 2020). Nevertheless, the shareholders, institutional investors and individuals, looking to invest their money in firms with sustainable finance goals and high levels of ESG performance (Lourenço et al., 2014).

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Emotional Intelligence (EI) have become increasingly important in management. However, there is a shortage of research that scientifically explores how these two elements interact, particularly within Saudi Arabia’s private corporate sector. To fill the gap, this research aims to examine the relationship between CSR, EI and effective management in the private corporate sector and its impact on organizational performance, on any possible mediating or moderating factors. An online survey with 200 respondents (employers and managers of the business sector) was conducted and analyzed using SPSS along with factor analysis to extract latent factors from the observed variables. The findings revealed that both EI and CSR have a significant positive impact on effective management. At the same time, CSR and EI emerged as stronger predictor of effective management. These results highlight the importance of fostering EI and integrating CSR initiatives to enhance managerial effectiveness in organizations, leading to long-term sustainability with a positive impact on the community.","PeriodicalId":509393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Sustainability","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139610064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its critical role, the BOM falls short in addressing sustainability concerns. The current state of the art does not capture data on the sustainability performance of suppliers of listed components. Furthermore, the BOM neglects synthetic information on reusability and circularity of components. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes the introduction of a Sustainability-Scoring-System (3-S BOM). The aim is to upscale the traditional BOM to the new sustainability market demand. The 3-S BOM has two purposes: to integrate synthetic data on sustainability and to allow further configurations of products based on diversified sustainability profiles. Specifically, each component, sub-assembly and assembly within the BOM is assigned an Overall Sustainability Score (OSS), which covers three key sustainability areas On the supplier side, an ESG score will be representative of the supplier’s level of sustainability, while on the component side, a Hazardous Substances and Virgin Materials (HV) indicator and a Hazardous Substances and Virgin Materials Circularity (HVci) indicator will assess the sustainability of the components, taking into account their composition and circularity. The customer is actively involved in defining the sustainability profile of the purchased product by defining how the ESG, HV and HVci must influence the final assembly of the purchased product, choosing between different levels of specificity.","PeriodicalId":509393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Sustainability","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139610672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
