This research elucidates the importance of Green HRM and Green Intellectual Capital in encouraging eco-friendly practices in the hospitality sector. Additionally, it highlights the value of Green Innovation as a tool to enhance the beneficial impacts of Green HRM and Green Intellectual Capital on environmental performance. A survey was conducted among 257 employees, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS and Smart PLS. The findings reveal that GHRM and GIC significantly enhance environmental performance, demonstrating the positive effects of green practices on the environment. Furthermore, Green Innovation was found to mediate the relationship between GHRM, GIC, and environmental performance, underscoring the role of innovation in promoting environmental sustainability. This study investigates the impact of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) and Green Intellectual Capital (GIC) on the environmental performance of firms in the Pakistani hotel industry, focusing on the mediating role of Green Innovation. These results highlight the importance of integrating green practices into HRM and intellectual capital management, as well as the value of innovation in amplifying these efforts. The study’s implications are crucial for hospitality businesses, as they aim to implement sustainable strategies in an increasingly environmentally conscious market.

This study examines the impact of long-term relationships and vendor-managed inventory on supply chain performance and the mediating role of information sharing in Pakistan’s textile industry. For testing the proposed hypotheses of the present study, the primary data was gathered with the help of a questionnaire from past studies via a convenience sampling strategy. Three hundred fifty questionnaires were distributed among the textile industry through the HR department of the concerned firm. However, only 330 cases were considered for data analysis after data clearing in SPSS version 25. Hence, the response rate is 94%. The data were analysed using SEM in Smart-PLS version 3. The results of hypothesis testing indicated the direct effect of long-term relationships and vendor-managed inventory, which was found to have a positive and significant impact on information sharing and supply chain performance in Pakistan’s textile industry. Furthermore, the mediating effect of information technology between long-term relationships and vendor-managed inventory revealed a partial mediation effect on supply chain performance. The policymakers and top management of concerned firms should consider these variables for future strategies to get better supply chain performance.

This study investigates the potential of developing a maritime tourism project within the blue economy of Pakistan and explores the factors influencing blue growth and maritime tourism. A quantitative research approach has been adopted. The research gathered primary data from diverse experts and stakeholders within the maritime sector and related industries. The study’s target population comprised on various entities involved in these sectors. A sample of around 250 individuals was selected using a convenient sampling technique. The collected data underwent analysis using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and the Partial Least Square (PLS) method. This approach was chosen to explore and understand the intricate relationships between variables in the context of the maritime industry. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) techniques were then employed to scrutinize the data further, allowing for a comprehensive examination of the interconnections among the variables identified in the study. This robust methodological approach enhances the study’s credibility and provides valuable insights into the dynamics of the maritime sector and its associated industries. The findings indicate that a balanced approach, valuing business sustainability, top management support, and enabling innovation structures positively impact blue growth. Additionally, uncertainty avoidance and promoting short-term goals have an appositive impact on the blue economy. Moreover, two potential barriers, Functional strategy, and weak competency, do not significantly affect the blue economy. This study lays the foundation for further exploration and implementation of strategies that promote sustainable growth and development in Pakistan’s blue economy. By integrating the insights gained from this study into policy and decision-making processes, stakeholders can work together to create a vibrant and sustainable maritime tourism sector that benefits both local communities and the environment.
