摘要

本研究通过基于资源观（RBV）的视角，以资源效率和绿色工作为重点，探讨影响中小型企业（SMEs）实施可持续发展实践的因素。借鉴资源观理论，本研究旨在揭示中小企业参与可持续实践背后的驱动因素。研究采用了聚类分析和多项式对数（multinomial logit）技术，使用的是 2022 年欧洲晴雨表（Flash Eurobarometer）（498）数据库，涵盖了 36 个欧洲国家的 6,1086,268 个观测点。研究结果显示，中小型企业根据其实施的可持续发展实践形成了四个不同的集群：最低限度的废物减量化、低水平的节能重点、中等水平的回收优先化，以及包括水、能源和材料在内的高级资源节约实践。研究结果强调了对资源效率的投资和绿色工作岗位的雇用在塑造中小企业可持续发展实践中的重要性。这项研究强调了财力和人力资源在提高中小企业资源效率和可持续性方面的关键作用，从而为中小企业可持续发展实践方面的现有知识体系做出了贡献。

INVESTIGATING GREEN JOBS AND SUSTAINABILITY IN SMEs: BEYOND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Through Resource Based View (RBV) lenses, this research examines what influences the implementation of sustainable practices in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), focusing on resource efficiency and green jobs. Drawing upon the resource-based view theory, the study aims to uncover the drivers behind SMEs' engagement in sustainable practices. Cluster analysis and multinomial logit techniques were employed using the Flash Eurobarometer (498) 2022 database, encompassing 6,1086,268 observations across 36 European countries. The findings reveal four distinct clusters of SMEs based on their implemented sustainable practices: minimum waste minimisation, low energy-saving focus, intermediate recycling prioritisation, and advanced resource-saving practices encompassing water, energy, and materials. The results emphasise the significance of investments in resource efficiency and the employment of green jobs in shaping SMEs' sustainable practices. This research underscores the critical role of financial and human resources working together to enhance resource efficiency and sustainability in SMEs, thus contributing to the existing body of knowledge on sustainable practices in the SME sector.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Cleaner Production is an international, transdisciplinary journal that addresses and discusses theoretical and practical Cleaner Production, Environmental, and Sustainability issues. It aims to help societies become more sustainable by focusing on the concept of 'Cleaner Production', which aims at preventing waste production and increasing efficiencies in energy, water, resources, and human capital use. The journal serves as a platform for corporations, governments, education institutions, regions, and societies to engage in discussions and research related to Cleaner Production, environmental, and sustainability practices.
