This paper presents an exploratory study on the drivers, practices, and performance of sustainability in Indian manufacturing SMEs. It has found that the leadership and ethical orientation of owners/managers and employees have a positive impact on waste management, human resource management practices, environmental benefits, and firm performance. Additionally, sustainable HRM practices are positively associated with waste management and have an indirect positive impact on firm performance through environmental benefits.
In this paper, an exploratory study of the drivers of sustainability, sustainable environmental and social practices, and firm performance for Indian manufacturing SMEs is presented. Exploratory/confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling have been employed for data analysis. Some of the major findings of the study are as follows. The leadership and ethical orientation of owners/managers and employees has a strong positive impact on sustainable waste management and human resource management (HRM) practices, environmental benefits and firm performance. A positive association has been found between sustainable HRM practices and waste management. Although no direct relationship has been found between sustainable HRM practices and firm performance, sustainable HRM practices have an indirect positive impact on firm performance through the mediating role of environmental benefits. Further, the effects of moderating variables on the structural re-lationships have been explored. The study highlights the managerial implications and concludes with possible directions for future research.
