This study explores the relationship between Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices on the sustainability performance in Spain’s textile-fashion sector. Specifically, it examines how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) implement internal and external GSCM practices to enhance sustainability performance across economic, environmental, and social dimensions. Using a survey-based methodology, data was collected from 161 SMEs with at least 10 employees. Employing the PLS-SEM technique, the findings reveal that internal GSCM practices (including green production, green logistics, environmental management, eco-design, and green packaging) positively impact environmental performance but do not significantly influence economic or social performance. In contrast, external GSCM practices (such as reverse logistics, environmental collaboration with suppliers and customers, and green purchasing) positively affect economic and social performance but not environmental performance. Furthermore, the results indicate that external GSCM practices play a mediating role, enhancing the impact of internal practices on the economic and social dimensions of sustainability.

In today’s increasingly competitive market, firms seek employees whom they can count on to work hard in order to meet or exceed organizational objectives. Based on Self Determination Theory (SDT), this paper aims to expand our understanding of the conditions which contribute to employee work effort. We propose that a supportive type of leadership such as inclusive leadership, manifested by openness, accessibility, and availability of a leader, will positively relate to work meaningfulness which in turn, will contribute to work effort. Also, job autonomy will act as a moderator in the direct relationship between inclusive leadership and work effort. Data is tested in a sample of 120 knowledge workers of an electric vehicle manufacturing company using PLS. The findings show strong positive relationships between inclusive leadership and work meaningfulness and between work meaningfulness and work effort. The study highlights the pivotal role of work meaningfulness and offers practical implications for the implementation of inclusive leadership as a way to foster work meaningfulness. Additionally, it brings to light the key influence of job autonomy in the direct relationship between inclusive leadership and work effort.

La investigación sobre cómo las PYMES pueden implementar la Economía Circular (EC) es limitada, en contraste con los estudios centrados en las grandes organizaciones. Este artículo tiene como objetivo explorar la bibliografía para identificar las barreras que enfrentan este tipo de empresas, respondiendo a la pregunta: ¿Cuáles son las barreras que enfrentan las PYMEs en la adopción de prácticas de economía circular? , ¿Cuáles son los barreras, relacionados con la gestión del talento humano y liderazgo directivo para la adopción de la economía circular en PYMEs?.

La metodología empleada para tal fin fue una revisión sistemática de la literatura utilizando 84 artículos de la base de datos Scopus bajo el lente teórico de la teoría de la Economía Circular (Ellen Macarthur Foundation, 2014). Los resultados identificaron diez barreras principales relacionadas con gestión del talento humano, el liderazgo directivo, los recursos, la financiación, los apoyos externos, del mercado y por una débil cultura cooperativa.

Para facilitar una transición enfoque empresarial lineal a circular, las pymes pueden utilizar las conclusiones para organizar planes que superen estas barreras. Además, este trabajo identifica nuevas líneas de investigación en la implementación de la EC en las PYMES.

This study examines how dimensions of moral identity (MI) and moral attentiveness (MA) influence self-perceived ethical leadership (EL) across its three dimensions: integrative decision-making, rewarding ethical behavior, and role-model behavior. It also explores the moderating roles of gender, age, tenure, and managerial hierarchy.

Grounded in Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), the study conceptualizes MI as an internalized moral self-schema and MA as the cognitive process that directs ethical awareness. Previous research has primarily focused on follower perceptions of EL, overlooking the leader’s self-assessment. This study addresses this gap by analyzing EL from the leader's perspective. Data were collected from 368 executives in Spain through a validated survey. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to test direct and moderated relationships. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses ensured construct validity. MI internalization predicts integrative decision-making, while MI symbolization and reflective MA influence rewarding ethical behavior. The perceptual dimension of MA does not mediate EL. Gender moderates the MI-role model behavior relationship, and hierarchical level affects the link between reflective MA and decision-making.Organizations should foster ethical awareness at senior levels and integrate ethical training in leadership programs.
