This study investigates the influence of religiosity, self-economy factors, philanthropic and environmental awareness, attitudes toward sustainable consumption, and sustainable disposal behaviour. A more comprehensive research model is proposed to contribute to the literature on sustainable behaviour, which remains highly limited despite its rapid growth in Indonesia. This study's millennials and Generation Z sample was analysed using SPSS 23 and SEM AMOS 29. Based on these results, religiosity and self-economy have no significant effect on attitudes. However, religiosity plays a crucial role in directly influencing sustainable disposal. Philanthropic awareness significantly affected sustainable disposal behaviour through attitude. Meanwhile, environmental awareness has proven to be influential and substantially contributes to determining sustainable disposal behaviour. Finally, it was found that attitudes significantly influence sustainable disposal behaviour directly but fail to mediate the relationship between religiosity, economic factors, and sustainable disposal behaviour. This research provides policymakers and other essential institutions with insight into textile waste reduction. The implications of this study are limited to the millennial and Generation Z samples in Indonesia.
A widely considered notion that green practices lead to green behaviours has often been studied with disregard to the individual disposition to change. In an attempt to explore individual's resistance to change, this study categorically sketches the ability motivation opportunity theory and resource-based perspective to evaluate how resistance to change moderates the link between green human resource management (GHRM), green creativity and organisational citizenship behaviour for the environment (OCBE). The authors collected 271 employee's data using questionnaire survey by employing purposive sampling method. The results through structural equation modelling showed that resistance to change weakens the association between GHRM, green creativity and OCBE. The results indicate that GHRM and green creativity have a positive effect on OCBE. The research framework contributes to the proceeding GHRM literature strives to explore its impact on employee green creativity and OCBE in the presence of the moderating variable; resistance to change. The moderating role of resistance to change in the GHRM-employee outcome relationship is a novel contribution.
This study delves into the perception of environmental harm as a trigger for emotions, attitudes, and intentions to reduce the consumption of bottled water in disposable plastic bottles. A quantitative, explanatory, cross-sectional study was conducted among Generation Z. Non-probability convenience sampling was used. PLS and IPMA were used as statistical techniques. The results show that the perception of the ecological problem triggers personal responsibility, guilt, and environmental shame for consuming water in disposable plastic bottles. In addition, personal responsibility and environmental guilt favourably influence the attitude towards reduction, and the latter leads to the intention to reduce consumption. The IPMA revealed that the most important variable for predicting intention to reduce consumption is attitude towards reduction, and it highlights the effect of reducing personal consumption of water bottled in disposable plastic to protect and reduce waste of natural resources and environmental pollution.
This research investigates the relationship between business costs and economic performance through an innovative multidimensional measure of the costs of the business environment: the business costs index (BC-I). The results show that GDP per capita and BC-I correlate strongly and negatively. Reducing the BC-I by 0.01 increases GDP per capita by 4.7%. The research also identifies which costs most impact the country's business environment, which countries have the lowest and highest costs for doing business, and which groups of countries can be used as a benchmark to reduce costs. The research also offers an innovative approach to obtaining heterogeneous groups of countries with homogeneous characteristics. The novelty of this approach lies in defining the ideal number of groups based on the cohesion and resolution of the clusters since the elbow, average silhouette, and gap statistics tests offer contradictory solutions and do not guarantee the quality of the clusters.
This paper improves the predictability of the models by using theory broadening to investigate a theoretical model that includes extra variables and the integration of different theories. The study uses a deductive research approach, positivist paradigm, and is quantitative in nature. The model is empirically tested, using the structural equation modelling technique, based on the data obtained from 203 respondents. The findings demonstrate how important personal norms are in influencing people's intentions to make green purchases and in mediating the relationship between green purchasing behaviour and environmental concern. Contrary to expectations, the study reveals that, independent of a brand's green image, perceived risk associated with green products has little influence on green buying behaviour. Furthermore, the association between perceived behavioural control and green purchasing behaviour is negatively moderated by the perceived value of green products.
Over the past few decades, scholars have devoted considerable attention to collaborative governance research. Nonetheless, the extant literature requires structuring and assessing to enhance conceptual clarity and consistency. Consequently, this study conducts a systematic analysis using various bibliometric tools on 901 articles extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The results reveal the expansion of the field, especially in recent years, with the US leading this multidisciplinary field. Europe has also made significant contributions. Collaborative governance is employed in times of complex challenges. Some countries adopt collaborative governance for specific purposes; China practices it to address air pollution and environmental challenges, whilst Canada and Australia implement it to collaborate with indigenous groups. Collaborative governance is closely linked to collaboration, public participation, networks, power, trust, leadership, and democracy. Trending topics include innovation, implementation, challenges, social innovation, leadership, conflict, and decision-making, suggesting directions for future research.
The purpose of this study is to bring out a scientometric analysis of the advances of digital transformation in the global banking sector. For this, a background search of the term "Digital Transformation Banking " has been brought out from the Web of Science (Wos) Database, covering records published between 2002 and 2023. A set of 312 publications was identified, which mainly includes a set of 264 academic articles, 29 articles published without cataloging a specific volume of a journal, 9 articles under review, 5 editorial material documents, 4 conference articles, and 1 document is a book chapter. Nowadays the scientific production is low but showing growing development presenting 123 publications and 7,754 citations for the year 2022. Among the scientific production, 43 publications from the Republic of China (8.8%) and 35 publications from Ukraine (7.8%) stand out. ,2%). It is also worth mentioning that the most relevant authors on this topic are Ricardo Palomo, professor and dean of San Pablo University, and Robert J Kauffman, professor at Singapore Management University in terms of influence. Main institutions in terms of scientific production, mainly: the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) of the United States and the Russian Academy of Sciences of Russia.
Environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions, ozone layer depletion, and increasing pollution levels are significant concerns for many countries. This study adopts a rigorous empirical approach to examine the complex relationships between green product orientation, green product literacy, social influence, green attitudes, and consumers' intentions to purchase green offerings. It also investigates the moderating role of green trust within this framework. Deploying a survey of 360 Vietnamese consumers with green product experience, the researchers used PLS-SEM analysis grounded in the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). The findings are expected to inform green product business strategies, suggesting companies should focus on enhancing consumer product literacy, strengthening social influence, and cultivating a green orientation. Crucially, developing sustainable customer relationships built on environmental concern and trust is identified as key. This theory-driven investigation aims to advance scholarly understanding and provide actionable insights for green product management.
