摘要

循环经济已成为一种创新的商业模式,尽管还存在争议,但它可以取代线性经济,实现可持续的高效生产。本研究旨在调查沙特阿拉伯微型、小型和中型企业(MSMEs)对循环经济的认识水平、采用情况以及推动采用循环经济的因素对其财务业绩的影响。调查对象为 301 家微型和中小型企业,采用逻辑回归法进行分析。调查结果显示,企业对财务管理的认识程度一般,平均每 10 家企业中有 7 家企业对财务管理有认识。然而,结果进一步显示,在调查期间,平均每 10 家企业中只有 3 家实施了循环经济。此外,逻辑回归显示,采用循环经济的驱动因素对中小微企业的财务绩效有显著影响。采用循环经济的以下驱动因素对企业财务绩效有很大的可能性和显著影响:员工培训、财政资源可用性、高层管理承诺、数字技术、产品/服务升级、产生/购回的材料使用成本更低、来自人们的压力。这是根据以往文献中对循环经济应用驱动因素的逻辑回归调查结果得出的。然而,结果显示,对环境的监管激励以及来自政府和企业的压力并不显著。因此,本研究为循环经济体系中的利益相关者提供了政策启示。

Circular economy awareness, adoption, and its effects on business performance in Saudi Arabia
A circular economy has become an innovative business model, though contentious, to replace a linear economy in achieving sustainable and efficient production. This study aims to investigate the level of awareness, adoption, and effect of factors driving the circular economy adoption on the financial performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Saudi Arabia. The survey was conducted among 301 MSMEs, and the method of logistic regression was utilized for its analysis. The results revealed that the level of awareness is averagely high, with an average of seven out of 10 enterprises. However, the outcome further showed that only an average of three out of 10 had implemented a circular economy during the period of the survey. In addition, logistic regression revealed the significant influence of drivers of circular economy adoption on the financial performance of MSMEs. The following drivers of circular economy adoption have a great likelihood and significant effect on the enterprise’s financial performance: training of employees, availability of financial resources, top management commitment, digital technology, product/service upgrade, material generated/buy back cheaper to use, and pressure from people. This is based on the outcome of logistic regression of the survey conducted on the factors driving circular economy adoption in the previous literature. However, the results revealed that regulatory incentives toward the environment and pressure from government and companies are not significant. Hence, this study provides policy implications for stakeholders in the circular economic system.
