Popis: In this paper, we investigate the effect of organisational values/culture on sustainable practices in Indian SMEs, and observe that organisational values/culture positively affect waste disposal/recycling, and employee-related social practices. Further, employee-related social practices act as a mediating variable between organisational values/culture, and firms’ environmental and community-related social practices. We also examine the moderating role of family influence and observe that for family SMEs, the effects of organisational values/culture on waste disposal/recycling, and employee-related social practices are stronger than those for non-family SMEs. The paper concludes by highlighting the implications and limitations of the study, and possible directions for future research.
