Human activities in the form of technological innovations and institutional performance are degrading environmental quality all over the world by rising the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and ecological footprint. The role of technological innovations and institutional performance in environmental quality has not been comprehensively explored while taking into account the cross-sectional dependence between the countries. The study analyzes the dynamic common correlated effects of technological innovations and institutional performance on environmental quality by using the panel data of East-Asia and Pacific countries for the year 1995−2018. Different proxies of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as a new indicator, ‘ecological footprint’ are used to measure environmental quality. Similarly, the technological innovations index is obtained by using six different innovative indicators. Traditional methodologies overlook the issues of heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence and give spurious outcomes. A novel econometric methodology, ‘dynamic common correlated effects (DCCE)’, is employed, which addresses the above-mentioned issues. Long-run estimation confirms that technological innovations indicate a significant and negative association with N2O, CH4, and ecological footprint and a positive relationship with CO2 emissions in lower-income and overall East-Asia and Pacific countries. However, technological innovations are positively correlated with all environmental indicators in higher-income East-Asia and Pacific countries. In the long-run, a significant and negative impact of institutional performance is observed on environmental indicators in overall and higher-income East-Asia and Pacific countries. Finally, it is suggested that if East-Asia and Pacific countries support innovative activities, strengthen their institutes and support open trade policies, then they will be able to ensure environmental sustainability.

Widespread interference of human activities has resulted in major environmental problems, including pollution, global warming, land degradation, and biodiversity loss, directly affecting the sustainability and quality of the environment and ecosystem. The study aims to address the impact of the extraction of natural resources and globalization on the environmental quality in the South Asian countries for the period 1991–2018. A new methodology Dynamic Common Correlated Effects is used to deal with cross-sectional dependence. Most previous studies use only carbon dioxide emissions, which is an inadequate measure of environmental quality. Besides carbon dioxide emissions, we have used other greenhouse gas emissions like nitrous oxide and methane emissions with a new indicator, “ecological footprint”. Long-run estimation results indicate a positive and significant relationship of natural resources with all greenhouse gas emissions and a negative association with the ecological footprint. Globalization shows a negative association with carbon dioxide emissions and nitrous oxide emissions and a positive relationship with the ecological footprint. Institutional performance is negatively correlated with carbon dioxide emissions, methane emissions, and ecological footprint while positively associated with nitrous oxide emissions. The overall findings highlight the pertinence of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and ecological footprint, proper utilizing of natural resources, enhancing globalization, and improving institutional performance to ensure environmental sustainability.

The current study suggests a different and innovative view by testing a unique combination of variables, which are unproven in a single model for the purpose of increasing the ratio of sustainable projects. The project manager can use the model to look their projects and can compose necessary changes for better outcomes. The study objects to postulate the competence breach of project managers with regard to sustainability, and to deliver direction that how to fulfill the research gap. The given work is centered on the result of project supervisor soft capabilities on project sustainability mediated by innovation. To achieve this aim, deductive approach was adopted. The sample size of the study was 242 respondents, and data were collected from software houses. The collected data were then analyzed by doing the structural equation modeling in PLS-SEM in order to examine the relationships. The outcomes demonstrate positive impact of project manager soft competences on project sustainability and mediating impact of innovation among the relationship of project manager soft competences and project sustainability. Innovation is directly linked to project sustainable development, and was accepted, which aligns with the previous studies. This research reflects the role of project manager soft competences on innovation and project sustainability. The study is unique in its scope and implications as the focus is upon empirical investigation of the project manager soft competences and project sustainability in the context of Pakistan.
