The Relationship between Capital Structure and Firm Performance
Capital structure is negatively related to firm performance. Agency cost also has a negative impact on corporate performance; however, in the case of return on assets (ROA) and earnings per share (EPS), the relationship is positive. Interestingly, the findings illustrate that increasing the level of debt can reduce agency costs and enhance firm performance. Moreover, robust correlations are revealing that agency cost significantly affects the relationship between capital structure and corporate performance.

Greenwashing, in contrast, pertains to the use of false or overblown environmental claims by companies wanting to capitalize on consumers’ rising environmental concerns. Green consumption has become a desirable and environmentally harmless political and economic assumption. Yet, concerns are being raised due to the emergence of greenwashing practices, which challenge the credibility of companies’ environmental claims.

A restaurant’s competences play a significant role in shaping the guests’ overall perception of the quality and derived perceived value, both of which ultimately impact the competitiveness of both the restaurant and the gastronomic destination.
