This study aims to empirically evaluate the predictors that influence sustainability performance among manufacturing firms. Leadership and management, green and lean practices, and guanxi were examined to determine whether these predictors are directly and/or indirectly affecting sustainability performance; 160 valid responses were collected and partial-least-squares-structural-equation-modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data. The results showed that leadership and management positively influenced green and lean practices and green and lean practices positively influenced sustainability performance. Leadership and management also positively influenced guanxi. Interestingly, leadership and management and guanxi do not exert a significant direct influence on sustainability performance. The findings contributed to the development of the resource-based-view theory further by empirically exploring the significance of leadership and management coupled with green and lean practices as competencies and capability to drive sustainability performance. The testing of the dual mediators' effects further added value to this study.

展现领导力和管理对可持续发展绩效的影响：绿色和精益实践以及关系作为双重中介

本研究旨在实证评估影响制造企业可持续性绩效的预测因素。对领导力和管理、绿色和精益实践以及关系进行了检查，以确定这些预测因素是否直接和/或间接影响可持续性绩效；收集了 160 个有效响应，并使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模 (PLS-SEM) 来分析数据。结果表明，领导和管理对绿色和精益实践产生积极影响，而绿色和精益实践对可持续发展绩效产生积极影响。领导力和管理也对关系产生了积极的影响。有趣的是，领导和管理以及关系对可持续发展绩效没有产生显着的直接影响。这些发现通过实证探索领导力和管理以及绿色和精益实践作为推动可持续发展绩效的能力和能力的重要性，进一步促进了基于资源的观点理论的发展。双重中介作用的测试进一步增加了本研究的价值。
