Abstract

The central aim of this research study is to investigate the interconnections and dynamics within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by examining Fintech adoption, competitiveness, circular economy practices, transformational leadership, and sustainable performance. The study's theoretical framework is grounded in the Practice-Based View, integrating Fintech adoption, competitiveness, circular economy practices, transformational leadership, and sustainable performance into the proposed model. To validate this model, the research employs the SEM-ANN analysis method. The study focuses on workers within SMEs in Pakistan, with a sample of 473 participants collected using a simple random sampling technique and 442 samples were deemed suitable for analysis. Preliminary data examination and hypothesis testing were conducted using Smart-PLS 4.0 and SPSS-23. A two-fold SEM-ANN approach was employed to validate the study's proposed model. The research findings indicate a direct and significant impact of Fintech adoption and transformational leadership on the sustainable performance of SMEs. Circular economy practices and competitiveness play vital intermediary roles, connecting Fintech adoption and sustainable performance. Furthermore, transformational leadership acts to moderate the relationships between Fintech adoption and both circular economy practices and competitiveness. The ANN approach complements the SEM analysis, providing additional insights and expanding our underst…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
