摘要
目的本文旨在探讨在也门等欠发达国家的中小型制造企业(SMEs)中,精益生产实践(LMPs)如何预测可持续绩效(SP)。研究结果研究结果证实,精益生产方式会影响企业社会责任,而企业社会责任又会影响可持续绩效。本研究还证实,LMPs 通过企业社会责任对 SP 有积极的间接影响,而这种影响在 CI 存在的情况下会减弱。本研究为政策制定者和企业管理者提供了有用的见解,他们在采用 LMPs 提高企业 SP 时,尤其是在 CI 水平较低的情况下,预计会对企业的企业社会责任表现出更高的承诺。
Sustain or perish: how lean manufacturing practices predict the sustainable performance of manufacturing SMEs? A moderated mediation analysis
Purpose
This paper aims to explore how lean manufacturing practices (LMPs) predict sustainable performance (SP) in the context of manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in less developed countries, like Yemen. In particular, it investigates the mediating effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) under different levels of competitive intensity (CI).
Design/methodology/approach
Hierarchical regression analysis was used to analyze data gathered from a survey of 259 Yemeni manufacturing SMEs.
Findings
The findings confirm that LMPs affect CSR, which in turn affects SP. This study also confirms that LMPs have a positive indirect effect on SP through CSR, which diminished in the presence of CI.
Practical implications
This study provides useful insights for policymakers and firms’ managers, who are anticipated to show a higher commitment to CSR in their firms when adopting LMPs to enhance their firms’ SP, especially under a low level of CI.
Originality/value
This paper contributes to expanding knowledge on the effect of LMPs on SP through CSR constrained by the level of CI.
