| Abstract | ||
| This study examines how Egyptian local governments implement sustainable practices in urban planning and resource management by analyzing relationships between policy framework characteristics, organizational learning, technological environments, and sustainability performance indicators. The research tests six hypotheses using a quantitative survey, structural equation modeling (SEM). In addition to other secondary municipal performance data, primary data collection was focused on urban planners and sustainability managers. The proposed conceptual model was analyzed using SmartPLS software which takes into consideration direct relationships, mediating and moderating relationships. Findings affirm that the characteristics of the policy framework have a significant influence on the sustainability performance indicators (H1) and learning and capacity building in the organization (H2). The organizational learning has a positive impact on the sustainability performance (H3) and mediates the policy performance relationship (H4). Both the sustainability performance (H5) and the organizational learning (H6) are moderated by technological and innovation environments between the policy frameworks and the relationships. The policy-outcome relationships are more robust in municipalities that are in favorable technological settings. This research provides the first comprehensive empirical examination of sustainability policy mechanisms in Egyptian local government, filling critical gaps in developing country literature. The integrated framework simultaneously examines multiple relationship types, offering evidence-based guidance for improving municipal sustainability policy effectiveness in resource-constrained environments. | ||
