Scholars have investigated the direct linkage between manager’s age and sustainable corporate performance, however, the mixed results and conflicting findings on the nature of the relationship demand further explanation through the missing constructs. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating role of sustainable entrepreneurial orientation in the manager’s age and sustainable performance. This study develops a conceptual link by using a dynamic capabilities approach and upper echelon perspective, indicating that younger managers can adopt a more holistic approach towards sustainable practices which can enhance the environmental, social and economic performance of firms. This implies that the relationship between manager’s age and sustainable performance can be explained through sustainable entrepreneurial orientation (SEO) which can play a key role in setting organizational direction towards sustainable development and achieving sustainable business performance. This study contributes to the literature by examining the role of SEO in the relationship between the manager’s age and sustainable performance. This research will help practitioners recognize the importance of minimizing environmental and social problems generating due to organizational production activities. This will lead to profit generation as well as value creation for nature and the local community.

Sustainable development goals bring the environmental performance (EP) of firms into the global policy limelight. EP has been largely compromised due to the emission of hazardous waste by manufacturing firms. These issues are not only contributing to natural resource depletion and global warming but also affecting the well-being of society. This study examines the role of organizational resilience capacity (ORC) and green innovation (GNI) in achieving EP in underdeveloped economies. The data were collected from 173 managers of manufacturing organizations operating in Pakistan. Further, researchers employed partial least-squares structural equation modelling to analyse quantitative data. The findings show that ORC enhances GNI, leading to improved EP. This study provides nuanced insights for developing green and resilient initiatives to improve EP in resource-constrained economies. Likewise, the management of manufacturing organizations should develop resilience capabilities that help organizations quickly adapt to disturbances and assure their capacity to successfully accomplish environmental goals.

Purpose- This study aims to determine the effect of recreational activities including indoor and outdoor games, contests, competitions, festivals and celebrations of various events etc. conducted by organizations on job satisfaction of employees. Methodology/Sample- For this paper, survey and interview method has been used. Structured questionnaire were administered through e-mail to sixty respondents from two companies in the telecommunication sector. Hypothesis testing has been done through 'Regression Analysis' and ANOVA. Findings- The research showed that companies have started changing their old methodology of operating. Because of the swift changes and the highly competitive environment; companies are considering the idea of putting fun and entertaining activities at work. It further shows that fun-filled activities not only results in better interpersonal relationships but also lighten up the traditional work environment while making the workplace comfortable and a less stressful place. Recreational and entertainment activities may bring a positive change in job satisfaction level, but it is not the sole contributor of job satisfaction. Moreover, it can be implied that employees at different level have different needs and desires. For middle and higher level, recreation and entertainment may be important, but lower level management may have different aspirations so fulfilling personal needs of employees is a highly significant aspect that should be taken care of. Practical Implication- The findings of the research is beneficial for the management of organizations to design recreational activities in such a way that fosters the work environment and increase the job satisfaction among employees in Pakistan.
