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. This study is limited to green human resource management practices, environmental practices, and the sustainability of society. Contribution: This study provides a valid mechanism and useful insights for corporate organizations, entrepreneurs, researchers/scholars, policy makers, community leaders, and government, among others, to facilitate the use of human resources (HRM) practices as a means for improving environmental practices and sustainability of society.

Results: A review of relevant studies reveals that management practices by walking around (MBWA) and its dimensions positively lead to organizational excellence. TQM mediates the relationship between MBWA and OE. Limitations: This study is limited to TQM, MBWA, and their dimensions in achieving organizational excellence. Contribution: This study provides a framework that can be used by corporate organizations, entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, community leaders, and governments to develop predictive models and empirical research to evaluate the influences of MBWA mediated by TQM in achieving organizational excellence. Therefore, providing quality products and services will improve the lives of people. Originality: This study addresses calls for further study of MBWA and TQM in achieving organizational excellence. This research provides further understanding of the TQM nexus by exploring its influence on the relationship between the dimensions of MBWA and organizational excellence within the context of developing countries. This study is the first to use TQM as a mediator between MBWA and OE. The originality of this study comes from the researcher's ability to pinpoint how an organization can adopt the practices of MBWA complemented by the long-standing innovative tradition of Japanese management to achieve quality and excellence.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial self-efficacy interact to identify and create entrepreneurial opportunities for start-ups a successful business in North Central Nigeria. Research Methodology: Primary data were collected using questionnaires from a sample size of 354 SMEs owners and  analyzed using PLS-SEM version 4.1.0.4. Results: The results indicated significant positive relationships between EO and SP, EO and ESU, ESU and SP, EO and EOP, and EOP and SP. Mediation analysis revealed partial mediation of EOP and ESU on the relationship between EO and SP. The moderation analysis revealed that with an increase in ESE, the relationship between EO and SP is strengthened; ESE does not moderate the relationship between EO and ESU; higher ESE weakens the positive impact of ESU on SP, while a higher value of ESE results in a stronger relationship between EOP and SP, as depicted in graph 1-4. Limitations: The study is limited to entrepreneurial orientation, self-efficacy, opportunities, and startups in North Central Nigeria. Contribution: This study provides valuable insights to policymakers in entrepreneurship to create a holistic orientation policy that will ensure that people see the need and opportunities to engage in farming in order to ensure profits for the individual and food availability for the majority population. Originality: This is the first study in Nigeria (Africa) to test how entrepreneurial orientation and self-efficacy interact to identify and create opportunities to start a successful business.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the effect of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on enterprise growth and the mediating effect of entrepreneurial passion on the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and enterprise growth of small and medium enterprises (SMES) in South Eastern Nigeria. Research Methodology: To achieve the objectives of the study, primary data were obtained using a questionnaire from a sample size of 399 SME owners in the in South Eastern States of Nigeria, comprising five States; Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo. The data collected were analyzed using PLS-SEM version 4. Results: The results of the analysis revealed no positive relationship between ESE and EG (? =0.198, t = 1.284, p < 0.00). A positive significant relationship exist between ESE and EP  (? = 0.953, t = 149.478, 0.000). EP had a significant and positive effect on EG (? =0.470, t = 3.088, p<0.02). The mediation results revealed full mediation of EP in the relationship between ESE and EG (t = 3.093, P < 0.002). Conclusion: The study concludes that ESE alone does not directly enhance EG, but when mediated by EP, it significantly contributes to the success of SMEs. Therefore, entrepreneurial passion is essential for translating self-efficacy into enterprise growth. Limitations: The study is limited to 399 SME owners in South-Eastern Nigeria, restricting broader generalization to SMEs in other regions or contexts. Contributions: This study provides a fundamental framework for understanding the interplay between ESE, EP, and EG. This study enhances the literature by highlighting the mediating role of passion, informing policy reviews, and offering practical guidance for SME owners and entrepreneurs to strengthen growth strategies through tested entrepreneurial methods.
