Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to establish whether all the dimensions of regulatory compliance
matter for environmental sustainability practices of manufacturing small and medium entrepreneurial
ventures (SMEVs) using evidence from Uganda.
Design/methodology/approach – This study is cross-sectional and correlational. Data was collected
through a questionnaire survey of 106 manufacturing SMEVs. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package
for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.
Findings – The results indicate that controls, legitimacy and deterrence do matter for environmental
sustainability practices of the manufacturing SMEVs in Uganda, unlike social norms and values.
Originality/value – This study fosters the understanding of environmental sustainability practices, as it
provides insights on whether all the dimensions of regulatory compliance do matter for environmental
sustainability practices of manufacturing SMEVs in Uganda.
