The interactive effect of cleaner production technology on the relationship between renewable energy and the promotion of sustainable competitive advantage: A study in the chemical industries sector- Alexandria Governorate

Abstract

The problem of this research is mainly crystallized around the answer to the following question: Does the moral impact of investing in renewable energy in enhancing sustainable competitive advantage in the industrial companies in question increase when cleaner production technology is introduced? This research aims to analyze the relationship between renewable energy investments, cleaner production technology, and the dimensions of sustainable competitive advantage, by determining the effect of cleaner production technology (as an intermediary variable) on the relationship between renewable energy investments (as an independent variable) and sustainable competitive advantage (as a variable). Continued), by applying it to workers in Egyptian industrial organizations, and the research population is represented by all workers in the Egyptian chemical industries sector, which number (109) companies at the level of the Arab Republic of Egypt, where the sample size reached (384) individuals from the total number of workers, as adopted This research is based on the descriptive analytical method. A survey list was designed to collect primary data as a main tool in collecting data and information. The data was analyzed and the most important findings of the research were that there is a direct, statistically significant relationship between renewable energy investments, cleaner production technology, and the dimensions of Sustainable competitive advantage, as well as the presence of a positive indirect significant effect of cleaner production technology (the mediating variable) on the relationship between renewable energy investments and the dimensions of sustainable competitive advantage. These results show that industrial organizations that pay attention to investing in renewable energy and cleaner production technology have contributed to Organizations possess superior long-term characteristics through their leadership in cost, differentiation, and focus in their dealings with customers. Based on this result, a set of proposals was presented
