Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the mediating influence of professionalism on the relationship between entrepreneurial passion and success in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria. Research Methodology:  Data were collected from a sample size of 288 SMEs owners in Jos South LGA of Plateau State out of a total population of 1026 SME owners and were analyzed using PLS-SEM version 3.0. Results: The results of the direct relationships revealed a significant positive relationship between the variables HO1 (? = 0.831, tstat = 20.447, and p-value = 0.000), HO2 (? = 0.882, t-stat = 51.325, and p-value = 0.000), and HO3 (? = 0.168, t-stat = 3.822, and p-value = 0.000). Mediation analysis revealed that EP  and ES were mediated by professionalism (HO4, t-stat = 3.817, p = 0.000). Limitations: This study was limited to EP, ES, and professionalism, and was analyzed using PLS-SEM version 3.0. Contributions: This paper provides useful insights for aspiring entrepreneurs, managers, policy makers, corporate businesses, and governmental and nongovernmental organizations around the world to facilitate business success using passion and professionalism. Originality/Value: This study adds to the corpus of information on professionalism in entrepreneurship and small business literature in Africa, which academics in developing countries generally overlook.

Abstract

Purpose: This study evaluates and fills this knowledge gap by providing empirical evidence of the relationship between green HRM practices and environmental performance based on the resource-based view, dynamic capabilities theory, and triple bottom line theory. Research Methodology: A detailed review of the empirical and conceptual articles related to this topic was conducted. An eclectic analysis and synthesis of evidence guided the development and presentation of the proposed framework. Results: A review of relevant studies revealed that GHRM practices  positively determine society’s sustainability through the adoption of environmental practices. Green human resource management practices have also been proposed to have a direct link to society’s sustainability and an indirect link mediated by environmental practices. Conclusions: This study proposes a framework connecting green HRM practices to societal sustainability, with environmental practices as a mediator. It emphasizes the positive impact of green HRM on sustainability, considering factors such as age, sex, and education as controllable variables. Limitations: This study is limited to green human resource management practices, environmental practices, and the sustainability of society. Contributions: This study provides a valid mechanism and useful insights for corporate organizations, entrepreneurs, researchers/scholars, policymakers, community leaders, and governments to facilitate the use of human resources practices as a means for improving environmental practices and societal sustainability.
