Abstract

This study aims to assess the readiness of Industry 4.0 technology for promoting environmental sustainability considering the cultural influences. Data were collected via survey questionnaires distributed among 73 companies in Malaysia. Structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the data. The findings indicate significant influences of cultural dimensions such as masculinity and collectivism on the adoption of Industry 4.0 practices. Leadership and human resource capabilities emerged as pivotal factors in facilitating the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies for enhancing environmental sustainability. This research contributes by elucidating the critical role of cultural factors in shaping the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies.
