Women entrepreneurs who started ventures post-marriage without prior experience represent an underexplored niche. This study addresses the issues related to their motives for entrepreneurial engagement and the role of stakeholders in their entrepreneurial success. For the study, data have been collected from 25 women entrepreneurs from different industries across multiple cities of Uttar Pradesh (U.P.), India. In this study, a grounded theory approach has been utilized; data were collected through in-person comprehensive interviews, which were analyzed according to identified themes. The study concluded that the intensity of entrepreneurial motives drives entrepreneurial engagements and stakeholders act as supporting agents in the success of entrepreneurial ventures after marriage. This is a qualitative study, and its outcomes can be utilized by educational institutions, policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders.

This study aims to investigate the effect of CEO social capital on corporate environmental transparency, emphasizing how leadership dynamics and governance structures affect environmental reporting. Specifically, this study explores the moderating role of board gender diversity and socio-political factors such as CEO tenure, organizational culture, and corporate political connections. Using a sample of 1076 firm-year observations from companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2017–2023, panel data analysis is conducted with robustness and endogeneity tests to ensure the validity of the results. The findings indicate that CEO social capital has a positive effect on corporate environmental transparency, indicating that CEOs with extensive and quality social networks are more likely to drive accountable environmental reporting practices. In addition, board gender diversity and socio-political variables significantly strengthen the relationship. These results underscore the importance of inclusive leadership and executive social networks in shaping corporate sustainability strategies. This study contributes to the corporate governance and sustainability literature by highlighting the role of leadership networks and board diversity in driving environmental transparency, particularly in emerging markets such as Indonesia.

Drawing on the ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) theory, this study aims to investigate the influence of green human resource management (GHRM) practices on organizational sustainability performance (OSP). The study considers environmental performance (EP) to be a mediator between GHRM practices and OSP. Additionally, the research examines top management affective commitment (TMAC) as a moderator. The study collected data from diverse Bangladeshi firms, including those in textiles, telecommunications, food, and pharmaceuticals, using a survey questionnaire. Employing a multiple methods analytical approach, including PLS-SEM and IPMA, this study tested the hypothesized relationships and assessed the relative performance and importance of the constructs. The findings revealed that GHRM practices have a positive influence on EP, which significantly mediates the relationship between GHRM and OSP. Furthermore, TMAC positively moderates the relationship between EP and OSP. Unlike previous conventional AMO theory, this study broadens the AMO scope by examining EP and TMAC, thus investigating the nexus between GHRM and OSP and contributing to the current literature on GHRM and OSP relationships. This research provides guidelines for industry practitioners, policymakers, industry leaders, and managers to enhance environmentally friendly production systems while improving environmental performance.

The study of global value chains (GVCs) has gained significant attention over the past decade, with the global pandemic further accelerating discussions on their resilience and sustainability. This paper contributes to understanding GVCs by examining their bidirectional relationship with sustainability and their interlinkages with firm performance. While existing literature has extensively explored financial metrics, non-financial performance indicators remain underexamined and often undervalued. To address this gap, this study focuses exclusively on non-financial firm performance, recognizing its critical role in long-term value creation. Employing a mixed-method approach, we first conduct expert interviews to identify key themes through thematic analysis, which then inform the development of a structured questionnaire. Data collected from mid- and senior-level managers is analyzed using PLS-SEM, ensuring a robust empirical validation of qualitative insights. The findings highlight the significance of Goodwill and technology in enhancing firm performance within GVCs, reinforcing their role in driving sustainable business practices. By integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions, this study provides a holistic perspective on the evolving dynamics of global value chains and their impact on sustainability.

The integration of environmentally friendly practices into human resource strategies, processes, and regulations has become indispensable in addressing the pressing issue of rising global climate challenges. While there is a growing body of literature on green human resource management (GHRM), limited research has been found on how these practices affect organisational citizenship behaviour among employee (OCBE), as well as the mediating role of green organisational culture (GOC) and green organisational identity (GOI) within the setting of the textile industry of Bangladesh. To address this gap and to fulfil the objectives, this research has utilised a time-lagged survey research design, collecting data from 747 respondents through a structured questionnaire, working in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified and non-LEED certified textile companies of Bangladesh. The partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS SEM) statistical method has been utilised to examine the hypotheses; the results highlight the acceptance of all hypotheses. Thestudy offers contributions for both academicians and professionals. On the theoretical level, the findings contribute by conceptualising and contextualising the theory and introducing internal and psychological non-symbolic enablers that fit with theability-motivation-opportunityO model and GHRM context of an emerging economy like Bangladesh. Practically, it provides actionable insights to managers and policymakers on how to drive GHRM to ingrain a green culture and green identity and eventually encourage pro-environmental behaviours among employees. Although some limitations of the research exist, such as the specificity of the industry of study and the use of the quantitative method, these do not diminish the entire contribution of the paper or the novelty of the idea to contextualise GHRM and OCBE in the textile industry of Bangladesh.
