Abstract
It appears that companies' interest in achieving economic returns has made them neglect the environmental and social effects of their activities. With this imbalance in sustainability performance that causes environmental pollution and social damage, there is an urgent need to strike a balance between economic, environmental and social sustainability. Therefore, this study aims to achieve this balance in sustainability performance (SP) by providing a proposed framework that integrates sustainable maintenance (SMA) into sustainable manufacturing practices (SMPs). Effective adoption of SMPs and SMA has a significant positive influence on SP. Nevertheless, there are limited studies conducted on integrating SMA into SMPs and how it could impact SP. The theoretical contribution of the present study depends mainly on expanding existing knowledge about highlighting the moderating role of SMA on the relationship between SMPs and SP, including in the oil and gas industry (O&GI).
Highlights
Sustainability performance (SP) is a key issue and a major concern in the oil and gas industry (O&GI) in Iraq
Academicians will obtain a better perception of the importance of integrating sustainable maintenance (SMA) into sustainable manufacturing practices (SMPs) to achieve a balance in the dimensions of economic, environmental and social sustainability
The present paper offers a conceptual framework that investigates the moderating effect of SMA on the relationship between SMPs and SP
Summary
Sustainability performance (SP) is a key issue and a major concern in the oil and gas industry (O&GI) in Iraq This is due to the lack of balance between the dimensions of SP (i.e., economic, environmental and social). Companies that have an interest in SMPs are more inclined to adopt SMA (Ararsa, 2012; Franciosi et al, 2018; Garetti, 2011; Garetti and Taisch, 2012; Granados, 2014; Ighravwe and Oke, 2017b; Jasiulewicz-Kaczmarek, 2013a; Liyanage, 2007; Liyanage and Badurdeen, 2010; Stuchly and Jasiulewicz-Kaczmarek, 2014) This is because they have the same goal of improving SP (Abdul-Rashid et al, 2017b; Abdullah et al, 2017; Adebambo et al, 2015a; Alayón et al, 2017; Baluch et al, 2010; Chiang et al, 2014; Frank et al, 2016; Habidin et al, 2013; Hami, 2015; Hami et al, 2016; Liyanage et al, 2009). The present study contains two sections viz.; following this introductory section is section 2, the conceptual framework which provides insights from empirical literature and theoretical framework about SMPs, SMA and SP, followed by section 3, which involve conclusions of this study
