الملخص
لقد أصبح التعامل مع التحديات البيئية والاجتماعية والاقتصادية أولوية عالمية ملحة. يوفر إطار العمل المعروف باسم الثلاثة خطوط الأساسية (TBL) نهجًا شاملاً لتقييم أداء الشركات من خلال دمج الجوانب الاقتصادية والبيئية والاجتماعية. على الرغم من تزايد اعتماده في كل من الأبحاث الإدارية والأكاديمية، لا يزال هناك فجوة كبيرة في فهم كيفية تأثير إطار العمل TBL على أداء الأعمال. لمعالجة ذلك، تقوم الدراسة بإجراء مراجعة ببليومترية لـ 207 منشورات من قاعدة بيانات Web of Science. تسلط المراجعة الضوء على التأثيرات المتعددة الأبعاد للممارسات المرتبطة بأبعاد TBL على أداء الأعمال، بينما تقدم نموذج تأثير TBL على أداء الأعمال. يوفر هذا النموذج رؤى قيمة حول كيفية تطبيق الشركات لمبادئ TBL بشكل فعال لمواجهة التحديات الاجتماعية والبيئية، وتعزيز الابتكار، وتحقيق أداء مستدام على المدى الطويل. تسهم النتائج في تقديم رؤى نظرية وعملية قيمة حول كيفية استفادة المنظمات من مبادئ TBL لتعزيز المرونة والابتكار والأداء في مواجهة التحديات الاجتماعية والبيئية العالمية.

3.4 تحليل العنقود

3.4.1 تم تحديد العناقيد على النحو التالي
4 مناقشة
4.1 مناقشة العنقود
4.1.1 العنقود 1 – وجهات نظر وتطبيقات الخط السفلي الثلاثي في عمليات الأعمال
4.1.2 المجموعة 2 – ممارسات الأعمال المستدامة وتعزيز الأداء
المشتريات، ممارسات سلسلة التوريد المستدامة، والتوجه البيئي للشركات في تحسين الكفاءة التشغيلية، الالتزام الاجتماعي، والأداء المالي. تؤكد هذه الاستراتيجيات المترابطة على أهمية نهج شامل لتحقيق النجاح التنظيمي والقدرة التنافسية على المدى الطويل. يجادل أردا وآخرون [100] بأن ممارسات إدارة البيئة تعمل كوسائط تؤثر بشكل إيجابي على الأداء التشغيلي والاجتماعي والمالي، مما يبرز أهميتها في تحقيق الاستدامة والنجاح المالي.
4.1.3 العنقود 3 – استغلال الاستدامة الاستراتيجية لتعظيم الإمكانيات التنظيمية
4.2 بناء النموذج

4.3 الآثار

Unveiling triple bottom line’s influence on business performance
Published online: 21 January 2025
© The Author(s) 2025 OPEN
Abstract
Addressing environmental, social, and economic challenges has become a pressing global priority. The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework offers a holistic approach for evaluating corporate performance by integrating economic, environmental, and social perspectives. Despite its increasing adoption in both managerial and academic research, there remains a significant gap in understanding how the TBL framework influences business performance. To address this, the study conducts a bibliometric review of 207 publications from the Web of Science database. The review highlights the multifaceted impact of practices linked to the TBL dimensions on business performance while introducing the TBL Influence on Business Performance model. This model provides valuable insights into how businesses can effectively apply TBL principles to address socio-environmental challenges, foster innovation, and achieve sustained long-term performance. The findings contribute valuable theoretical and practical insights into how organizations can utilize TBL principles to strengthen resilience, innovation, and performance in the face of global socio-environmental challenges.
