Various stakeholders increasingly demand that companies adopt environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. While this movement poses challenges for management, it also offers opportunities to build competitive advantages. Employees play a crucial role in business entities' sustainable growth and success. As such, employees are among the internal stakeholders who compel organizations to build ESG strategies. Therefore, employees' commitment to ESG management is critical to meeting companies' ESG goals and workplace well-being, eventually contributing to building companies' competitive advantages. This chapter focuses on understanding the interrelationships between ESG strategies and employee performance by examining the contributing roles of employee perception and attitudes toward their companies' ESG management practices. Employees who perceive their companies to engage in ESG programs feel better about their jobs and perform better at work. Positive relationships have been reported between ESG strategy and various employee performance metrics. Further, it is well supported that ESG efforts enhance employee attitudes toward their companies and eventually become the company's advocate. Employees' well-being is enhanced as they perceive their organization engages in more ESG management practices.

This study offers an in-depth exploration of the travel constraints faced by people with mobility impairments (PMIs) and the dynamic relationships among these constraints influencing their travel experiences. PMIs were recruited for in-depth interviews. Interview participants with mobility impairments engaged in in-depth interviews, shedding light on the constraints they encountered during their travels. Thematic coding was conducted to extract the findings. The travel constraints were classified within the framework of the theory of leisure constraints, with a pronounced focus on issues related to accessibility. The research revealed the dynamic moderating roles of travel constraints and travel experiences for PMIs. The findings underscore the intricate interplay between travel challenges and reasons to travel, providing valuable insights into this demographic’s unique needs and experiences. The study’s findings also contribute to Sustainable Development Goals by highlighting the importance of addressing travel barriers to promote inclusivity and equitable access to transportation and public spaces.
