The importance of environmental performance has gained significant attention in recent years, as it is increasingly recognized as a critical component of sustainable development and corporate success. Environmental performance refers to how well an organization manages its environmental responsibilities, which can significantly influence its overall sustainability and competitive advantage. This study aims to investigate the role of green job design and top management support in enhancing employee ecological behavior through green social capital as a mediating variable. The paper employed a purposive sampling technique to select 442 samples of paramedics and non-paramedics from various public hospitals in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling-partial least squares technique with SmartPLS 3.0. The results indicated that green job design (t = 3.80, p = 0.000) exhibits statistically significant positive direct effects on employee ecological behavior. Surprisingly, top management support (t = 0.86, p > 0.05) exhibits statistically insignificant direct effects on employee ecological behavior. Additionally, green social capital was found to have a statistically significant direct effect on employee ecological behavior (t = 2.73, p <0.05). Green job design, top management support, and green social capital play crucial roles in the adoption of employee ecological behavior in the Indonesian healthcare industry. Achieving employee ecological behavior necessitates integrating these job designs with management support.

Investment Management and Financial Innovations Volume 14, 2017 Issue #4 pp. 1-11 Views: 1284 Downloads: 681 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯIn the aftermath of the financial crisis, many companies have implemented extensive risk management procedures. Additionally, internal audit has increasingly attracted the attention of managers as it constitutes the core of modern corporate governance. However, regarding Greek companies, there is a lack of empirical research on factors that affect risk management. Therefore, the purpose of the present paper is to analyze specific factors associated with effective risk management. Primary data were collected using questionnaires distributed to employees in companies that are listed on the Athens Exchange. Multiple regression analysis was conducted in order to examine the relationship between effective risk management, risk based internal audit, internal auditors’ involvement in risk management and top management support. Our findings demonstrate that the above factors contribute positively to effective risk management.

Impact of organizational entrepreneurship characteristics on entrepreneurial orientation: Moderating role of firm size and education
Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 19, 2021 Issue #3 pp. 478-487 Views: 762 Downloads: 468 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯOrganizational entrepreneurial characteristics (OEC) have received less attention compared with the individual entrepreneurial ones. In addition, few studies examined this issue in the context of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of OEC on the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) of an organizational member. OEC are operationalized to include top management support (TMS), organizational culture (OC), and transformational leadership (TL). Two moderators are proposed in this study: the CEO’s education and company`s size. The data were collected via purposive sampling using a questionnaire; a survey included 206 SMEs in Iraq. The data were analyzed using AMOS. The findings indicate that the impact of EOC (B = 0.14) on OE is positive. Its dimensions TL (B = 0.14) and TMS (0.50) also impacted positively the OE. CEO’s education and company size moderated positively the effect of OEC on OE. Decision makers are advised to pay more attention to leadership style and adopt open culture as well as free expression and tolerance among SMEs in Iraq.
