Although previous studies have explored the role of legal framework, industry norms, innovation, and the use of clean technologies to achieve sustainability, they have paid little attention to the role of employees in increasing a firm’s sustainability performance. This article develops a model based on social identity theory and proposes that employees whose organizational identification is rooted in the sustainability of the firm can influence the sustainability strategy of the firm through the participation process. Data were obtained from 421 employees of large fast-moving consumer goods manufacturers. The findings demonstrate that employee participation has a strong positive effect on all the components of sustainability (environmental and societal). Moreover, the findings show that the impact of employee participation on the components of sustainability is moderated by organizational identification in such a way that if employees have a strong sense of identification with their organization, their participation in decision making has a greater impact on the sustainability of their organization.

Civil participation is the main component of effective governance. The topicality of this paper lies in civil participation in decision-making defined by the principles of “new public governance” of the 21st century. This study aims to analyze the impact of civil participation in decision-making on waste management at the municipal level. In this work, the following aspects were considered: theoretical assumptions of civil participation; civil participation in the activities of institutions responsible for environmental protection; issues regarding the development of opportunities of citizens’ involvement in municipal waste management. The article is devoted to the theoretical assumptions about civil participation, theoretical model of analysis, and activity of institutions. To develop a theoretical model of analysis, a classification of civil participation was carried out. Among the methods used, one can mention the questionnaire. The analysis was focused on a legal basis for the activity of institutions; the actual activity of institutions and survey of representatives of the national environmental authorities in Lithuania. The results showed that currently there is no mechanism in Lithuania to ensure civil participation in municipal waste management. Civil participation is still formal and limited. Overall, citizens are informed about the decisions made, but they do not participate actively in decision-making. The analysis of civil participation capacity in waste management leads to the conclusion that Lithuania has no single mechanism to ensure civil participation in waste management. To enhance civil participation in decision-making on waste management, it is suggested to set up a council where the representatives of civil population are delegated.

<p>The objective of this study is to examine the influence of employee participation in decision-making on firm performance in Saudi Arabia’s manufacturing sector. Data were collected through pre-validated, piloted questionnaires, which were e-mailed to 341 manufacturing firms. The questionnaires asked about employee involvement in decision-making and performance variables. The response rate was 63.4 percent. Dimensions of PDM were rendered into 20 statements in the form of a five-point Likert scale. The scale, ranging from no involvement to substantial involvement, measured the degree of PDM. Additionally we used a five-point Likert scale to determine the extent of the firms’ performance in terms of the 10 criteria. The scores of the 10 items were summed and averaged to establish the mean index of the firms’ performance. An index of less than 4.0 was regarded as low firm performance; an index of 4.0 and above was considered to represent high firm performance. Statistical tools were used in analysis. Through product–moment correlation, we examined whether a relationship existed between employee participation in decision-making and firm performance. Regression analysis provided the extent of variation in the dependent variable and Z-test (approximated by the independent samples t-test). Findings showed a significant positive relationship exists between PDM and firm performance, suggesting that PDM is an essential component influencing firm performance. The higher the level of employee participation in decision-making, the higher the level of firm performance.Future studies involving the service industry would shed light on PDM in industries besides manufacturing.</p>
