Design/methodology/approach This is an empirical research. Data were collected from 382 SMEs through questionnaire survey, applied SmartPLS technique to analyse the data. Findings Findings revealed the significant effects of internal and external sources of knowledge on FI. To what extent this relationship is strengthened/weakened, the moderating role of market and technological turbulence was analysed. Data revealed that the moderation of technological turbulence strengthens the effects internal and external sources of knowledge had on FI. Market turbulence strengthened the effects of external sources of knowledge but surprisingly weakens the effects of internal sources of knowledge on FI. Practical impli...

Synthesizing the perspectives of organizational culture and environmental performance, we applied a theoretical model in the manufacturing industry of Pakistan linking an organizational culture that supports environmental practices for better environmental performance. Based on a survey of 314 manufacturing firms, using Smart-PLS, the current study found that adaptability, mission and consistency positively affect environmental performance. However, involvement does not have an effect on environmental performance. Additionally, organizational culture as a latent variable has a strong impact on environmental performance. The study is one of the first, to the author’s knowledge that links OC and EP in a d...

Data from Malaysian Environmental Department shows that 80% of the wasted was generated by the manufacturing industry. Firms are constantly requested to change their business practices to incorporate environmental activities. It also indicates that future natural resources are being squandered as waste due to less exposure to the environmental management accounting which ends up to unproductivity, overproduction, increase in total delivery cost or inefficiency in manufacturing plant. This research exploits the quantitative research methodology to understand the relationship between contingent factors which are uncertainty environment, organizational size, environmental strategy, regulatory pressure and top management commitment that influence the environmental management accounting and environmental performance among manufacturing companies in Klang Valley, Selangor. The survey conducted on manufacturing companies that are located in Klang Valley, based on the 2,400 companies registered in Federal Malaysian Manufacturer (FMM) database. 600 questionnaires were sent out to manufacturing companies, with most of the question using a Likert scale. The finding highlights the that uncertainty in the environment, regulatory pressure, and top management commitment significantly impact the environmental performance.
