Labuan Bajo Seaport's maritime logistics ecosystem serves the marine logistics supply chain as an essential part of economics and social development in the region. It is one of the economic regions that need to be developed where green operations management must be applied to suppress the negative impact of port operations. The research aims to analyze the influence of green marketing, business, and operation management on Sustainability. A cross-sectional study has been conducted in this research with data processing using partial least squares (PLS) path modeling. The population is the stakeholder of Labuan Bajo seaport, and the samples are 100 with a purposive sampling method. Findings show that green marketing has influenced business, operation management, and Sustainability. However, the green industry also influenced green operation management and impacted Sustainability. The study indicates that Sustainability can be achieved when the seaport operates using green principles from planning to monitoring by the involvement of the stakeholder.

With increasing concerns and challenges to climate change in recent years, green operations management (GOM) has gained significant attention from society for achieving sustainable growth. GOM is a set of practices that can be applied in production processes to produce goods with improved productivity and significantly reduced threats of carbon emission to the environment and Mother Nature. GOM mainly includes green manufacturing, green design, green logistics, and green purchases. In the paper, fuzzy best-worst method (FBWM) is used to determine the best and worst criteria affected by GOM practices. Thus, the paper attempts to explicitly analyze and highlight the significance of GOM in preserving the environment and manage the triple bottom line for achieving overall sustainable business operations.

In an era of challenging business and increasingly fierce competition, the company (business) reputation has become an increasingly valuable and vital asset. To maintain a good reputation, this study aims to explain what internal factors affect the business reputation and test the consistency of agency theory as a solution in explaining the influence of internal factors such as sustainability, millennial director, financial distress, board of commissioners, and company size on business reputation. The research used the power of panel data analysis, complemented by advanced statistical techniques such as Robust, Fixed Effects, Ordinary Least Square Regression, and Random Effects. This method is executed using Stata software, which offers incredible flexibility to seamlessly connect theoretical concepts and empirical data related to research variables. Results of this research show that sustainability and a board of commissioners are not able to have a significant influence on the business reputation; millennial directors and financial distress have a negative influence on the business reputation, while the company size has a significant positive effect on the business reputation. This research makes a valuable contribution to the company's management in considering important factors that can affect the business reputation, as well as taking appropriate steps to maintain and improve its reputation amid increasingly fierce business competition.

This paper aims to measure consumer awareness of environmentally friendly products in the context of United Arab Emirates. The study also intends to measure the effect of consumer awareness on the customer intention to purchase environmentally friendly products and whether or not consumer attitudes mediate this relationship. A self-administered survey was delivered using google form tool to reach as many respondents as possible, where a link to survey has been shared by emails, the respondent randomly selected from United Arab Emirates. A total of 174 responses has been received of which 7 responses dropped for being not complete, resulting in 167 useful responses. Content validity has been done to ensure the items are clearly understood, which is accomplished by consulting two academicians who are familiar with this field of study. SPSS statistical package version 22 has been used to test the hypotheses of this research. Based on data analysis, it has been found that Environmental Awareness positively and significantly affects Consumers’ Attitudes toward environmentally friendly products and Green products Purchase Intention, respectively. Furthermore, a positive and significant relationship between Consumers’ Attitudes towards environmentally friendly products and Purchase Intention is detected. However, the proposed mediating role of Attitudes in the relationship between Environmental Awareness and Purchase Intention was not supported.

Business executives and scholars are increasingly interested in learning how corporate environmental responsibility (CER) and firm success are related. However, prior research in this field requires consistent and contradictory findings. This study fills this gap by suggesting and verifying a moderated mediation theory that better explains the association between CER and company performance by considering organizational slack and strategy similarity. From 2015 to 2017, 260 listed Chinese companies provided the data for this study, yielding 780 firm-year observations. According to the multivariate analysis findings, the association between CER and company effectiveness is mediated by strategic similarity. The relation between CER and strategic identity and the direct effect of CER on organizational value via strategic similarity are both moderated by organizational slack. These findings imply that CER efforts and pursuing strategic similarities are crucial for coping with stakeholder pressure and being competitive in the market. They offer useful insights for corporate managers looking to make educated decisions regarding CER.

The concept of Social Responsibility (SR) has been evolved during the last decade and most organisations care about their society and the environment. While incorporating SR programs through organizational strategies would be mostly optional, the benefits of “doing a good business” may enhance competitiveness. Hospitality industry is not far from this where hotel sector can achieve several desirable outcomes adopting SR initiatives. Despite the fact that many services are intangible by their nature and they are evaluated based on perceptions, the willingness created by social initiatives can lead to an advantage through brand image. In re-turn, a “good social reputation” can create and maintain customer loyalty in hotels and hospi-tality. This paper investigates the role of SR on competitiveness through the mediating role of customer loyalty. A model is developed and examined through hotel industry in Qatar. Statis-tical results show that all research hypotheses were accepted and customer loyalty could be retained by incorporating SR values affecting competitiveness in hospitality industry in Qatar.

This paper examines the effect of industrial park development on people's livelihoods through different impacting channels; including employment, production means and infrastructure. The result of the research shows that industrial park development had a positive influence on people's livelihoods through additional employment, non-farm investments, access to policies, household labor, etc. However, industrial park development also causes negative impacts on people's livelihoods causing unemployment. Data for research is collected from households including land acquisition and no land acquisition living around industrial parks. Research findings can be considered as a basis to help develop the positive influence and restrict the negative influence of industrial park development on people's livelihoods in Vietnam.
