Abstract：
Organizational decisions and their motivations are crucial for successfully implementing sustainable sourcing practices (SSP). Still, there is scant research on how SSPs are impacted by corporate motives (CM). To fill this research gap, we formed a three-tiered stakeholder theory (ST) based paradigm that accounts for the moderating impact of regulatory pressure (RP) while examining the relationship between different types of corporate motives (instrumental, relational, and moral) and SSP. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to examine data collected from 248 respondents in the Pakistani manufacturing industry. The outputs of SEM disclosed that all CMs affect SSP. RP also confoundedly moderated these targeted relationships. Importance performance map analysis (IPMA) showed that regulatory pressure (0.319) and relational motives (67.38) are more important and perform better than all other exogenous variables. This study sheds light on corporate strategies and decision-making in multi ways. All dimensions of CM greatly enhance SSP directly and through RP, as RP firmly moderates these associations, indicating the relevance of ST. Finally, this empirical investigation ends with a framework of testable assertions and many future research endeavors on environmental sustainability.
摘要：
组织决策及其动机对于成功实施可持续采购实践（SSP）至关重要。尽管如此，关于企业动机(CM)如何影响SSP的研究很少。为了填补这一研究空白，我们形成了一个基于三层利益相关者理论(ST)的范式，该范式解释了监管压力(RP)的调节作用，同时研究了不同类型的公司动机(工具，关系,和道德)和SSP。偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）用于检查从巴基斯坦制造业的248名受访者收集的数据。SEM的输出表明，所有CM都会影响SSP。RP还令人困惑地缓和了这些有针对性的关系。重要性绩效图分析（IPMA）表明，调节压力（0.319）和关系动机（67.38）比所有其他外生变量更重要，表现更好。本研究以多种方式阐明了企业战略和决策。CM的所有尺寸都直接和通过RP大大提高了SSP，由于RP坚定地调节这些协会，表明ST的相关性。最后,这项实证调查以可检验的断言框架和许多关于环境可持续性的未来研究努力结束。
