Abstract
This study examined the organisational and regulatory factors influencing the adoption of environmental sustainability practices in selected petroleum industries in Southeast Nigeria. The petroleum sector remains economically important, but its operations are associated with environmental concerns that require stronger sustainability responses. A cross-sectional survey research design and quantitative approach were adopted. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to employees and management personnel in selected oil and gas companies. A total of 420 questionnaires were distributed, 392 were retrieved, and 384 valid responses were used for analysis, representing a valid completion rate of 91.4%. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, mean scores and standard deviation, as well as multiple regression analysis. The findings showed high agreement with organisational factors, regulatory factors and environmental sustainability adoption, with mean scores of 4.23, 4.07 and 3.95, respectively. The regression results indicated that organisational factors had a significant positive effect on environmental sustainability adoption (β = 0.45, t = 9.62, p < 0.05). Regulatory factors also had a significant positive influence on adoption (β = 0.37, t = 7.88, p < 0.05). The model explained 58.0% of the variation in environmental sustainability adoption. The study concludes that internal organisational support and consistent regulatory oversight are important for improving sustainability practices in petroleum firms.
This study evaluated the sustainable practices of multinational construction companies (MCCs) in Lagos State,
Nigeria, with a view to promoting sustainable development and achieving a sustainable future. A total of 150 structured
questionnaires were administered to selected multinational construction companies, yielding a response rate of 47%. The
collected data were analysed using frequency distribution and mean score techniques to classify respondents’ perceptions of
sustainability practices. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to determine significant differences in respondents’
opinions, while factor analysis was used to identify the underlying factors influencing sustainable practices. The findings
revealed a high level of engagement by multinational construction companies in sustainable practices, including corporate
social responsibility and ethical practices, installation of energy-efficient mechanical and electrical systems, reduction in the
use of hazardous materials on construction sites, minimization of construction waste, and energy conservation in company
operations. The study further identified cost effectiveness and financial gains, stakeholders’ understanding, access to
sustainable technologies, operational and economic considerations, and corporate image and value delivery as the most
influential factors driving sustainability adoption. The study concluded that multinational construction companies in Lagos
State are actively implementing practices that contribute to environmental sustainability and the well-being of future
generations. However, financial and cost-related constraints remain significant barriers to the effective implementation of
sustainable practices within the construction sector.

The impact of compensation packages on organisations has continued to draw attention of organizational policy makers and scholars. This study examined the relationship between compensation packages and organizational sustainability in the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) between 2014 to 2025. The study was instituted to achieve a specific objective. The Resource-Based View (RBV) was adopted as the analytical guide. The descriptive research design was employed as an approach. The study population comprised 615 managerial, permanent, and contract staff of the Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna refineries. A sample size of 242 respondents was determined using the Taro Yamane formula, while Bowley’s proportional allocation and stratified random sampling techniques were employed. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire validated by experts, while the instrument yielded a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.87, confirming its reliability. Out of the 242 questionnaires administered, 220 valid copies were retrieved and analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27, while Spearman Rank Order Correlation was employed to test the hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that respondents agreed that competitive salaries, performance-based incentives, equitable reward systems, and comprehensive monetary and non-monetary benefits significantly enhanced employee motivation, commitment, retention, and productivity, thereby promoting organizational sustainability. The hypothesis test further revealed a strong positive and statistically significant relationship between compensation packages and organizational sustainability (r = 0.733, p = 0.000), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. The study concluded that competitive and equitable compensation packages are essential for improving workforce stability, reducing employee turnover, enhancing productivity, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of NNPCL. The study recommended that NNPCL should periodically review its compensation structure to ensure alignment with industry standards and employee expectations.

Purpose: This study sought to examine the influence of green procurement practices on environmental compliance in public universities in Nairobi City County, Kenya. The specific objectives were to examine the influence of green purchasing policies, supplier environmental evaluation, eco-friendly product selection, and waste reduction and recycling practices on environmental compliance.
Methodology: The target population comprised 190 officers drawn from procurement, environmental management, facilities management, and administrative functions across seven public universities in Nairobi County. Proportional stratified random sampling was used to select 129 respondents. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaires. Validity was ensured through expert review, while reliability was assessed through pilot testing procedures. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis, and the findings were presented in tables.
Findings: The regression results showed that the four independent variables jointly explained 75.9 percent of the variation in environmental compliance, indicating that green procurement practices are strong predictors of environmental compliance in public universities.
Unique Contribution to Theory Practice and Policy: University management and procurement departments should develop, update, and fully institutionalize comprehensive green purchasing policies that explicitly integrate environmental criteria into procurement planning, specification development, tendering, and contract management.
