Sustainability is integral for organizations to manage environmental issues. Environmental awareness among stakeholders builds pressure on manufacturers to adopt green human resource management practices (GHRMPs), environmental management system (EMS), and foster organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) to improve sustainable performance (SP). This study investigates the mediating effects of OCBE and EMS on the relationship between GHRMP and SP among ISO14001-certified manufacturing firms and SP. The quantitative design employed, and data of 227 respondents were analyzed via the SEM technique using AMOS 24™. Thus, findings revealed that GHRMP is positively related to SP, while OCBE and EMS partially mediated the relationship between GHRMP and SP among ISO14001-certified Malaysian manufacturing firms. This study makes novel academic and practical contributions to green HRM, organizational behavior, and sustainable performance. However, this study also has some limitations.
Voluntary pro-environmental behaviors in the workplace such as organizational citizenship behavior towards environment (OCBE) are pertinent for the organizations striving to become environmentally responsible entities. The significance of OCBE for green organizational initiatives has led scholars to strive for expanding its nomological network. Approaching from the theoretical angle of the social information processing approach, this quantitative, survey-based study theoretically links and empirically tests the impact of environmental transformational leadership on organizational citizenship behavior towards environment (OCBE) via mediating mechanism of perceived meaningful work. Data from a sample of 311 employees working in Pakistan’s hospitality sector were collected and analyzed to test the hypothesized relationships using structural equation modelling. Results indicated the indirect effect of perceived meaningful work on the relationship between environmental transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior towards environment. Implications of both theoretical and practical nature are laid out in the relevant sections of the paper.
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between student motivation, student mindset, computer competency, and behavioural intention to continue using e-learning in the post-COVID-19 era among students at the community colleges in Kelantan, Malaysia. This quantitative study used a self-administered online survey questionnaire, and a convenience sampling method was employed to reach the respondents. Partial least square structural equation modelling (SmartPLS) 4.0 was then used for data analysis. The results of the current study reveal that community college students have a high behavioural intention to continue using e-learning in the post-COVID-19 era, and that behavioural intention positively correlates with student motivation and computer competency. However, there is limited evidence to support the relationship between student mindset and their behavioural intention to continue using e-learning in the post-COVID-19 era. Practically, the findings from this study can be an essential landmark to the management of Community Colleges in determining the direction of future learning in community colleges.

The university context in which students are embedded plays a central role in providing students with learning and motivation to think and act entrepreneurially. There is a vibrant research stream that has shown that university offerings affect students’ transition to an entrepreneurial career and on antecedents or enablers of entry, such as entrepreneurial intentions and entrepreneurial knowledge. Student proclivity to begin a venture may be affected not only by the university environment where they are exposed to entrepreneurship but also by perceptions of how desirable entrepreneurial behaviour is considered to be in a given society. The paper explores the drivers of the intention of entrepreneur students in UMK of new venture creation, particularly specialising in the role of university entrepreneurship-related offerings and students' prior business experience. The main objective of this study is to determine the relationship between the contribution of the university to entrepreneurial education, mentoring support, and financial support towards new venture creation. A complete of 346 questionnaires were collected. Using SPSS tools containing Preliminary Analysis, Descriptive Analysis, Reliability and Validity Test, Normality Test and Spearman Correlation Analysis, data analysis was administrated. The result shows the correlation between entrepreneurial education, mentoring support, and financial support towards new venture creation is significant. In conclusion, entrepreneurship courses can be elective and compulsory and generally aim to stimulate entrepreneurial learning by imparting knowledge, skills and attitudes related to entrepreneurship.
