The linkages between sustainable energy development and entrepreneurship are focussed, and studies in this field are critically discussed in this chapter. The new sustainable energy technologies and other innovations are presented, such as solar powered trains, electric tires, liquid sunlight, etc. The role of entrepreneurs in developing new sustainable energy technologies and other innovations in sustainable energy is emphasized. The main barriers and drivers of entrepreneurship and innovations in sustainable energy are scrutinized and grouped in regulatory, economic, informational, technological, etc. barriers based on comprehensive literature review. The policies and measures targeting these barriers are analysed and discussed.

The world faces unprecedented threats from climate change and increasing variability, which severely impacts human society and the natural environment. To reduce future climate change and ensure our economies can grow in a sustainable way, sustainable energy development is considered to be an effective approach. In this context, sustainable energy development involves augmenting our energy supplies and managing demands in a fashion that societal energy needs are met with a minimal effect on greenhouse gas emissions and a nominal resultant contribution to future climate change. In this Special Issue, research papers focus on the role of sustainable energy development (while addressing important dimensions of sustainability), which mandates an inter-disciplinary perspective in all articles. We collected 11 such papers that have analyzed a broad array of topics related to bioenergy, wind power, industrial innovation, and climate change mitigation. These papers show the varied application of renewable energy and climate change energy responses, while providing meaningful decision-making information and policy implications.

Following the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg, and the 2012 Rio+20 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, sustainable development has become a widely accepted concept. World decision makers are seeking a more sustainable development path through the ongoing UN Post-2105 Agenda discussions, which includes key themes like the Green Economy (GE) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). They are hoping to find integrated solutions to many critical problems, including traditional development issues (such as energy scarcity, economic stagnation, poverty, hunger, and illness), as well as newer challenges (like climate change and globalisation). Energy is critical for sustainable development. Sustainable energy development (SED) is an operational framework involving the harnessing of energy resources for human use, in a manner that supports lasting development [Munasinghe (1995)]. We begin with a review of sustainable development itself, before describing the key role of energy. The World Commission on Environment and Development originally defined it as “development which meets the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”, and there have been many subsequent redefinitions.

The Relationship

Organizations from different industries worldwide focus their efforts and budgets to enhance employees’ creativity which is widely perceived as a major success ingredient in today’s challenging business environment. Consequently, practitioners and managers establish reward systems to enhance employees’ creativity. However, the literature presents opposing views pertaining to the relationship between rewards and employees creativity, such that some scholars find it important to be intrinsically motivated to be creative whereby others find extrinsic motivation (e.g. rewards) to be important to enhance creativity. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive literature review by presenting prominent theories addressing the role of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in enhancing employees’ creativity. It then highlights the research questions intended to be investigated and finally presents the context of proposed empirical research. Keywords: creativity, intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, rewards

Sustainability Policy

This study aims to investigate the role of employee’s attitudes towards implementing and expanding the sustainability policy and the sustainability performance in terms of economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The study model and hypotheses were developed based on a comprehensive literature review. The data were collected from 84 employees working in Jordan’s banking sector through a questionnaire. The results revealed that there is a significant and positive relationship between employee’s attitudes towards implementing and expanding the sustainability policy and the triple bottom lines of sustainability performance. This study promotes the idea of focusing on employee’s attitudes in the banking sector and others sectors in order to enhance sustainability performance, especially that sustainability still does not have the highest priority in a country with an emerging economy like Jordan. The results of the study have significant implications and open many avenues for future research.
