The Double-Edged Sword of Sustainability Reporting: The Role of Board Independence
Ruixin Zhang, Abid Noor, Rohail Hassan, Shahzad Ali
Business Strategy and the Environment, 2026
This study examines the relationship between sustainability reporting and earnings quality management (EQM) in Pakistan's listed financial firms, with a focus on the moderating effect of board independence on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). The data are analyzed using multiple regression analysis alongside robust standard error (RSE) and the panel‐corrected standard error (PCSE) technique to affirm robustness. The data were based on 960 firm‐year observations of PSX's listed financial companies from 2015 to 2024, collected from the annual audited reports available at PSX, Open Doors, and the D‐space repository. The findings reveal significant negative results for sustainability reporting and EQM in the absence of independent directors. Board independence acts as a moderator, yielding significant and positive results regarding sustainability reporting, EQM, and interacting terms. The “RSE” and PCSE affirm the robustness of the results. This study is of concern from the viewpoint of direct, indirect, and connected stakeholders. Prospective investors should be aware of the risks associated with investing in Pakistan's financial sector, particularly when the role of independent directors is limited. Regulatory authorities of Pakistan, like the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and PSX, should devise a governance mechanism where the reporting is not confined to books only, but is also practiced, and sustainability reporting should not be taken as a cushion for EQM. The study sheds light on the importance of independent directors in the Pakistani financial sector in overcoming the issue of EQM. The research has contributed to the existing literature on sustainability reporting and EQM by examining the moderating role of board independence in the financial listed sector of Pakistan. The use of the income smoothing ratio, “discretionary LLC,” is taken as a gap for the study, which is replenished.

Management Decision, 2025
Purpose This study aims to investigate the impact of institutional factors, including EFQM model enablers, quality culture and resource availability, on the performance of faculty members in higher education institutions (HEIs). It investigates the interplay between these integral parts, particularly how quality culture acts as a mediator between EFQM enablers and faculty performance, and how resource availability acts as a moderator of the effect of quality culture on faculty performance. Design/methodology/approach The study utilized a quantitative approach and measurement scales to measure the constructs. Data were gathered through a self-administered questionnaire from the faculty members of private sector HEIs in Lahore, Pakistan. A sample of 373 was determined, while in total, 457 responses were received, and after deleting 36 outliers, SmartPLS 4 was used to analyze the data and PLS-SEM was used to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings The EFQM model enablers are positively related to faculty performance as well as quality culture. A quality culture is said to enhance faculty performance through social modeling and positive institutional goal-direction behavior reinforcement. Furthermore, quality culture mediates the influence of EFQM enablers and faculty performance. Moderately, resource availability strengthens the relationship between quality culture and faculty performance through observational learning. Research limitations/implications The study’s limitations include the use of the EFQM 2013 model, individual-level dynamics, a cross-sectional design, treating adaptive performance as a singular construct and the unilateral approach to relationships. Practical implications The implications of this analysis recommend that leaders within HEIs should adopt quality management systems like EFQM, emphasize individual staff training and development, set appropriate performance targets and provide sufficient support for research and collaboration activities. Originality/value This study advances the EFQM model enablers and faculty performance by establishing quality culture as the mediator. This study also clarifies the role of resource availability as a moderator in the relationship between the quality of culture and faculty performance. This study makes a significant contribution to the existing literature by empirically establishing the relationship between the factors that significantly impact faculty performance.

Kybernetes, 2024
PurposeThis study investigated the in-role and extra-role performance of male and female teachers. Multigroup Analysis is applied to the unique combination of independent variable time pressures, mediating variable psychological empowerment and dependent variable teacher in-role and extra-role performance.Design/methodology/approachThe reason for employing a distinctive methodology is because of male and female characteristics. In addition, data were gathered during COVID-19 using convenient sampling techniques from male and female teachers working in Pakistani higher education institutions.FindingsThe results showed that time has a significant impact on how well male and female teachers do their jobs. According to the gendered characteristics, psychological empowerment significantly intervenes between time pressure and teacher performance. Furthermore, the result provides policymakers with guidelines while assigning the task to teachers.Practical implicationsThis article highlighted the issues of performance under time pressure imposed by an educational institution's employer and developed the mechanism for effective and efficient policies to improve the performance of teachers.Originality/valueUnder the lens of the cognitive theory of load, this study contributes to the literature on time pressure, psychological empowerment and teacher performance by introducing a novel concept and novel research framework.
