The increasing integration of sustainability into corporate strategy has necessitated a deeper understanding of the mechanisms through which organizational factors influence sustainable performance. This study investigates the moderating role of strong administrative structures—primarily operationalized through corporate governance—in regulating the interaction between environmental expertise (green intellectual capital), corporate outcomes (firm performance), and uncertainty management (enterprise risk management) in shaping sustainability indicators. Drawing upon interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks including stakeholder theory, resource-based view, and institutional theory, the research proposes a comprehensive conceptual model that captures the dynamic interplay among these constructs.

The study synthesizes empirical and conceptual insights from prior literature to establish that green intellectual capital significantly enhances sustainability performance through improved environmental innovation and knowledge integration (Yusliza et al., 2020; Ullah et al., 2022). Simultaneously, enterprise risk management (ERM) contributes to organizational resilience and sustainability by identifying and mitigating environmental and operational risks (Shad et al., 2019; Oyewo, 2022). However, inconsistencies in prior findings suggest that the effectiveness of these relationships is contingent upon governance quality and administrative robustness.

Through a structured analytical framework, this research demonstrates that strong administrative systems—characterized by transparency, accountability, and strategic oversight—act as a critical moderating mechanism that aligns environmental knowledge and risk strategies with long-term sustainability objectives. The study further explores how firm performance serves both as an outcome and a mediating factor in sustainability pathways, highlighting complex feedback loops between financial success and environmental responsibility (Arkaan & Kusumadewi, 2023; Santosa & Yuyetta, 2024).

The findings contribute to the literature by offering an integrated perspective that bridges fragmented research domains, emphasizing the necessity of governance-centric approaches in sustainability management. Practical implications suggest that organizations must invest in governance reforms and knowledge-based capabilities to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. The study concludes by identifying limitations and proposing future research directions, particularly in empirical validation and cross-industry comparative analysis.

User-generated content (UGC) has become a primary creative input for paid media advertising across major digital platforms. Despite rapid growth in commercial demand for creator-produced assets, the field lacks a consolidated framework for licensing structures, usage rights classification, and economic valuation of UGC in paid media contexts. This study examines how licensing terms govern the commercial use of UGC assets, how usage rights categories affect asset pricing, and how brands and creators can apply systematic valuation approaches when negotiating paid media deals. A systematic literature review and comparative case analysis of creator economy reports, platform policy documentation, and academic research published were used as the primary methodology. Results show that usage rights scope, exclusivity level, and platform-specific amplification permissions are the three variables with the greatest influence on UGC asset price. The study proposes an original valuation matrix that integrates performance indicators with contractual license parameters. Findings will be of direct interest to brand marketers, creator economy practitioners, media buyers, and researchers studying the economics of digital advertising.
