This study investigates the impact of green innovation strategy on project management performance in the food sector of Saudi Arabia, examining the mediating roles of strategic quality planning and strategic leadership. Using a cross-sectional quantitative approach, data were collected in January 2025 from 341 employees through a convenience sampling technique. Structural equation modeling via SmartPLS was employed to analyze the data. Results indicate that green innovation strategy positively influences strategic quality planning (β = 0.655) and strategic leadership (β = 0.541), which in turn significantly enhance project management performance (β = 0.566 and β = 0.657, respectively). Additionally, strategic quality planning (β = 0.456) and strategic leadership (β = 0.505) partially mediate the relationship between green innovation strategy and project management performance. These findings highlight the critical role of green innovation and strategic management practices in improving project outcomes within Saudi Arabia’s food industry.

This study investigates the impact of sustainability dimensions (economic, environmental, and social) on financial performance. A quantitative research design was used, and data were collected from employees working in small businesses in Saudi Arabia. A convenience sampling technique was used to gather responses from 332 employees. Data analysis was performed with structural equation modeling. The results revealed that sustainability dimensions such as economic, environmental, and social practices have a significant and positive influence on financial performance. Social sustainability exerts a stronger influence on the financial performance of small businesses. Altogether, it explains 59.1 percent of the variance in financial performance, which signifies strong explanatory power. The study findings indicate that sustainability initiatives as part of a business strategy bring financial success. Moreover, small businesses can perform better with economic, environmental, and social practices. Thus, it leads to enhancing operational efficiency, stakeholder trust, and profitability in line with the national agenda under Vision 2030. Practitioners can take advantage of adopting sustainable business approaches in order to enhance organizational performance.

The study’s purpose is to measure the impact of sustainability initiatives on the economic performance of logistics companies in Saudi Arabia. Quantitative research design was followed and data were collected with a structured questionnaire from employees working in Saudi logistics companies using a convenience sampling technique. Structural equation modeling was used to examine hypothetical relationships between constructs. The findings reveal that sustainable logistics transport, environmental sustainability, and social sustainability have a positive and significant influence on sustainable green practices, which in turn have a positive impact on economic performance. Sustainable green practices act as mediator between sustainability initiatives and the enhancement of the performance of logistics companies. The findings emphasize the significance of sustainability initiatives such as social, economic and logistics dimensions to attain economic outcomes and business sustainability. This provides insights for managers and policymakers to align logistics strategies with organizational and national sustainability goals.

This study examines the relationships between circular economy capability, green supply chain, green process innovation, and sustainable performance in the manufacturing sector of Saudi Arabia. As the country transitions toward its Vision 2030 goals, which emphasize sustainability and economic diversification, the manufacturing sector plays a critical role in adopting circular economy principles and green practices to reduce environmental impact and enhance resource efficiency. Using a cross-sectional research design, data were collected from managerial-level employees through a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the hypothesized relationships. The findings reveal that circular economy capability significantly drives green supply chain and green process innovation, which in turn enhance sustainable performance. The study also identifies green supply chain and green process innovation as critical mediators in the relationship between circular economy capability and sustainable performance. The results highlight the importance of integrating circular economy principles with green practices to achieve sustainability goals. It provides actionable insights for organizations to enhance their sustainability efforts, such as investing in resource efficiency, adopting green supply chain practices, and fostering process innovation.

This study examines the factors that influence platform economy development. A quantitative study was employed to assess the relationship between study constructs. Data were collected from 266 platform workers in Saudi Arabia. Structural equation modeling was used to perform statistical analysis to examine the relationships between study constructs. The results reveal that digital infrastructure, economic conditions, regulatory environment, digital skills, and platform service quality have a significant influence on platform economy development. Most importantly, digital skills play a major role to engage more workers on digital platforms to render services and earn more. Nonetheless, digital infrastructure and the regulatory environment also support building the confidence of workers while working on these platforms. Thus, the influencing factors explain 85 percent of the variance in platform development economy, which is above the satisfactory level. This indicates that a better infrastructure and skill set of workers play a major in contributing towards the platform economy. Thus, it is important for regulators to design better policies for platform operators and to open avenues for agencies that could play a major role in digital economic growth.
