| dc.description.abstract | As the emphasis on the environment grows, businesses are incorporating
sustainability concerns to enhance their performance while also promoting sustainability.
Based on the Porter Hypothesis, this study evaluates the impact of environmental
regulations, in specific, to illustrate how it influence business performance as well as
innovative initiatives. Further, grounded in Dynamic capabilities view (DCV), we examine
the effect of the organization factors - innovation and learning, on firm performance. The
relationship between innovation and learning is also discovered in this study. The proposed
framework is examined using data collected from 300 employees in Dong Nai province,
Vietnam. The partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique is
adopted for hypothesis testing. The results would offer implications for firms as well as
public organizations. First, governement could support businesses to comply and reach
sustainability in their performance through suitable and flexible policies and regulations.
On the businesses side, the results of this study would be useful for managers who are
interested in implementing strategies that promote innovation and learning to improve their
firm’s performance. Moreover, the findings also enhance existing theories regarding the
relationship between environmental regulations and organizational performance in
Vietnam and developing countries in general. | en_US |
