摘要

This study addresses a research gap by examining how environmental turbulence moderates the relationship between corporate sustainability (CS) and organizational resilience (OR) in developing economies, where institutional complexities and resource constraints differ significantly from those in developed contexts. Focusing on Ghanaian SMEs, we employ a multi-informant approach (319 responses aggregated from 40 firms) and analyze them using PLS-SEM to examine the differential effects of environmental, social, and economic sustainability dimensions. Results show that environmental sustainability \((\beta = 0.38)\) and social sustainability \((\beta = 0.277)\) significantly strengthen resilience, while economic sustainability shows no direct effect. Crucially, environmental turbulence differentially moderates these relationships: it strengthens social sustainability’s positive effect \((\beta = 0.014)\) while weakening environmental sustainability’s benefit (β = -0.008), revealing a "green burden paradox" under high turbulence. The paper’s core contribution is to demonstrate differential contingency effects across CS dimensions in a developing-economy context, advancing theoretical integration between stakeholder and contingency perspectives. We provide specific recommendations for managers and policymakers: prioritize building social capital and community relationships as adaptive shields against turbulence, while implementing low-complexity, integrated environmental practices that don’t compete with crisis-response capabilities during volatile periods.
