Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the motivational factors and barriers that influence the implementation of green practices in Malaysian hotels. The environmental issue in Malaysia has a long history, which began with river pollution because of tin mining operations. It has now become more critical as air pollution and waste disposal by the hotel industry have a negative impact on the environment. A total of 86 questionnaires were received from four-star and five-star hotels in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya. The dependent variable is green practices, while the independent variables are motivational factors and barriers. Data from the questionnaires were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling approach and the SmartPLS software. Motivational factors are found to have a significantly positive relationship with the implementation of green practices. However, the barriers to green practices do not have statistical significance. The study contributes to existing literature by introducing factors that encourage the Environmental Management System (EMS) and also recommends the study of more strong factors in green practices research.

Abstract

This paper examined the association between financial leverage and financial performance of Nigerian manufacturing firms. Performance is the ability of management to control firms’ resources to gain competitive advantage. Among the internal organisational factors that affect firms’ profitability is financial leverage which is the firms’ capital structure framework. From agency theory perspective, it is hypothesised that profitability increases with debt financing to a certain optimal level of debts. A five-year data covering a period between 2011 to 2015, sourced from the financial statements of 66 Nigerian manufacturing firms were collected. This study found that financial leverage is positively and significantly associated with the financial performance of Nigerian manufacturing firms, measured as return on equity (ROE). Further, the firms with moderate level of debt ratio are found positively associated with ROE. In contrast, all equity-financed firms and those firms with excessive debts financing are negatively associated with ROE. A positive association is also found between firm size and revenue growth rate with ROE. Nigerian manufacturing firms are recommended to apply agency theory of optimal debts financing to address their financial constraint and poor performance issues.
