Abstract
This study explored the impact of sustainable practices, innovative technology, and regulatory compliance on corporate performance, with a focus on Tesla, Inc. The increasing importance of environmental responsibility and technological advancement has underscored the need to understand how these factors contribute to corporate success. Specifically, this research addressed the following practical problems: the effectiveness of sustainability initiatives, the role of technological innovation, and the impact of regulatory adherence on improving organizational performance. The objectives of this study were: 1) To examine the relationship between sustainable practices and corporate performance, 2) To examine the relationship between innovative technology and corporate performance, 3) To examine the relationship between regulatory compliance and corporate performance.
The theoretical foundation was based on the Resource-Based View Theory, which highlights the strategic importance of internal resources and capabilities in achieving competitive advantage. This study adopted the quantitative research method, utilizing a structured questionnaire to gather data. The sample consisted of 300 employees from Tesla, Inc., with a final set of 250 valid responses after addressing incomplete and inaccurate submissions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, multiple regression analysis, and hypothesis testing.
The analysis confirmed that sustainable practices significantly enhance corporate performance, innovative technology positively impacts performance, and regulatory compliance is crucial for improving organizational outcomes. Based on these findings, three recommendations were proposed: expanding and deepening sustainability initiatives, investing continuously in technological innovation, and strengthening regulatory compliance frameworks.
This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how key factors influence corporate performance and provides actionable insights for companies aiming to improve their environmental and operational strategies. Future research should consider a broader range of industries, adopt longitudinal methods, and explore additional variables to further elucidate these relationships.
