    Sustainability is without a doubt, one of the most important challenge of our time. Recently many researchers have been trying to link sustainability with project management as there is very little guidance available on what is meant by sustainable project management and the responsibilities of the project management to disclose their sustainability activities. Organizations are trying to incorporate sustainability in their business strategies, marketing and communication. Sustainability is receiving more and more attention and the link between sustainability and project management is still being built and is underdeveloped. The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of sustainability principles and sustainability disclosure on project success in the presence of competitive advantage as a mediator and stakeholder pressure as moderator. 314 valid responses were collected from project-based organization across Pakistan. Hayes process and IBM SPSS were utilized for data analysis. The study finds that sustainability principles and sustainability disclosure have significant positive impact on project success.

    Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure and Financial Performance: Moderating Role of Sub National Institutional Contingencies
    (Library Information Services COMSATS University Islamaabad Lahore Campus, 2020) Muhammad Hamza Khan; FA18-RMS-015; LHR TP 6349; Dr. Sajid Nazir
    Over the past few decades, the disclosure about corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities has increased due to increased awareness. This study investigates moderating role of sub national institutional contingencies on the relationship between corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD) and financial performance (FP) and the relationship between environmental disclosure (ED) and FP in context of Pakistan. The study uses OLS (ordinary least squares) technique to draw interference from data. We use CSRD index which consist 40 items under the five main themes and for environmental disclosure this study develop an environmental index based on 10 items. Sub-national institutional contingencies (SNIC) consists four factors, ownership concentration, developed & non- developed regions, family ownership and group affiliation. FP measure in two way accounting measure and market measure.We find positive association in CSRD and financial performance and also positive relationship between ED and FP. We find reliable evidence that SNIC (family ownership, ownership concentration and regional development) have negative and significant impact on CSRD and ED but group affiliation have no effect on CSRD and ED. Moreover, SNIC moderate the positive and relationship between CSRD and FP and also in ED and FP. The relationship is stronger in non F own firm, own-con, less developed region and G-Aff as compare to their counterparts. From a practical point of view, the study shows that decision makers, executives and managers should avoid “one-and-for-all” strategy. By contrast, They need to be evaluated immediately effect of family ownership, ownership concentration, regional development and group affiliation characteristics. Considering the weak performance by the firms in family owned firms, non ownership concentration, regional development and non-group affiliation firms, policymakers and governments should increase information transparency, enact stricter regulations, and encourage these companies to improve their corporate social and environmental disclosure. It also provided insights into other emerging economies, especially those with special government intervention.

The interviews were split into two parts, the first phase was based on exploratory interviews and the second phase was based on semi-structured interviews, the accumulated data then analyzed with the proposed thematic analysis. The primary findings of this study is divided into five different overarching categories among which three categories were originated from the interview of provider’s perspective and other two from the customer perspective.
