Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of job retention intention among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Design/methodology/approach

Data are from a large nationally representative cross-sectional survey conducted by the Canadian National Statistics Agency. Ordered logistic regression is estimated to find an association between job retention and its main determinants as gleaned from the literature while controlling for a wide range of pertinent covariates. Odds and standardized odds are reported and discussed.

Findings

The results suggest that worsening working conditions, changes in health and well-being and lack of organizational support weaken intentions regarding job retention. Being employed rather than self-employed and working as a nurse also weakens job retention.

Originality/value

This is the first research on the determinants of intentions regarding job retention in Canada using nationally representative data. It allows us to test and confirm the results of previous studies on a large sample of Canadian HCWs. The paper also discusses the implications of the findings for health management and administration.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper investigates the moderating role of sustainability committees in the relationship between environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and environmental innovation within European nonfinancial firms.

Design/methodology/approach

The study analyzes data from 691 nonfinancial sector firms operating within EU states from 2013 to 2022. It employs regression analysis to examine the correlation between ESG performance and environmental innovation, considering the moderating effect of sustainability committees.

Findings

The research reveals a significant and positive correlation between ESG performance and environmental innovation. Moreover, it demonstrates that sustainability committees play a positive moderating role in this relationship, indicating their importance in fostering environmental innovation within organizations.

Research limitations/implications

The study is limited to European nonfinancial companies, potentially limiting the generalizability of findings. Additionally, the research focuses on the moderating role of sustainability committees, leaving room for further exploration of other governance mechanisms.

Practical implications

The findings suggest that implementing an ESG performance framework and establishing dedicated sustainability oversight mechanisms, such as sustainability committees, can enhance environmental innovation within organizations. This insight is valuable for strategic decision-making aimed at advancing both sustainability and innovation agendas.

Originality/value

This study addresses a gap in the literature by exploring the moderating effect of sustainability committees on the link between ESG performance and environmental innovation from various theoretical viewpoints. It contributes to the understanding of mechanisms that enhance environmental innovation within companies and provides practical implications for corporate reporting accuracy and sustainability initiatives.
