dc.description.abstractThe aims of this study were to: (a) examine the influence factors on the Malaysia Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) competitiveness in quality: and (b) investigate whether green initiatives serve as a mediator in the relationship. Influence factors comprise top management support, government support, stakeholder pressure, and faculty support and regulation compliance. Four main hypothesized relationships were analyzed on a sample of 138 PHEIs located across Malaysia. Data were gathered through online questionnaires. From statistical analysis point of view, influence factors were found to provide five dimensions as theorized. Hierarchical regressions result showed that five influence factors were positively and significantly influence PHEIs competitiveness in quality. All variable of influence factors except regulation compliance was positively and significantly influence PHEIs green initiatives. In addition, green initiatives also influence the PHEIs to become competitiveness in quality. Green initiatives fully mediate the relationship between stakeholder pressure and competitiveness in quality while partially mediate the relationship between top management support and faculty support with competitiveness in quality. However, the relationship between government support and competitiveness in quality was not mediated by green initiatives. This study included the theoretical and practical implications as well as limitation and suggestion for future studies.en_US
