摘要

The Textile and Apparel (T&A) industry, being a prominent global economic driver, is consistently heading towards sustainability measures to address its endangering fast fashion trend and alarming impact on the environment. Consequently, the T&A industry is about to adopt various circular production practices and lean philosophies to buttress overall industrial sustainability. Nevertheless, these fast-forwarding, environment-conscious approaches can amplify sustainability performance; these principles are becoming mandatory for foreign fashion retailers. In this context, it is necessary to examine the concurrent impact of these principles on different organizational concerns. To fill this gap, this study attempts to investigate the impact of Organizational Context (OC) on Sustainability Performance (SP), considering the mediating effect of Circular Economy (CE) and Lean manufacturing (LM), and the moderating impact of Total Quality Management (TQM). The Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique was deployed in this study to analyze survey data collected in a structured questionnaire format from the T&A industry of Bangladesh, consisting of 279 valid responses from backward linkage facilities, key technical departments, and management professionals. Nine hypotheses associated with the conceptual research framework were justified using SmartPLS (version 4) software. The results reveal a significant direct impact of OC on SP, while CE and LM positively mediate the relationship between OC and SP. Moreover, TQM has been outlined to have a negative impact on SP in both ways, through CE and LM. Previously, some scholarly works have investigated the impact of CE and LM in the emerging industrial concern, but to the author’s best knowledge, this is the first attempt to realize its sustainability implications from an organizational background for the T&A industry. This study also delineates the first empirical investigation in justifying the impact of CE and LM on SP, with the moderation of TQM in a specific industry context.
