This research proposes a framework to explore green consumption behavior from the perspective of the anxiety of death and individual social responsibility. Research data are collected from a sample of 280 consumers in Taipei, Taiwan. The findings reveal that consumers' anxiety of death affects consumers' green purchase attitude and then ultimately green purchase intention through the mediating variables of environmental concern and pro‐environmental behavior. On a similar line, individual social responsibility is found to act as a precursor in increasing consumer's concern for the environment and, eventually, green purchase attitude and intention. Mastery is found to invigorate the effect of death anxiety on green concern and pro‐environmental behavior, while it enervates the relationship between individual social responsibility and environmental concern.

Despite the burgeoning literature on environmental strategy, research is scarce on how environmental collaboration influences responsible innovation. Our study closes this gap by investigating the impact of environmental collaboration on firm performance through the mediating mechanism of responsible innovation. Using data collected from 225 firms, the results show that a firm's level of environmental collaboration influences responsible innovation. The findings also reveal that the impact of environmental collaboration on responsible innovation is greater when stakeholder pressure is higher than when it is low. Finally, we find that the relationship between environmental collaboration on firm performance is mediated by responsible innovation. These findings extend the environmental strategy and responsible innovation research and practice.

This paper investigates the role of a chief executive officer's (CEO's) social capital on corporate social performance (CSP) through the mediating mechanism of stakeholder integration. Data were collected from 256 small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs). Results from the hierarchical regression analysis suggest that stakeholder integration mediates the relationship between CEO social capital and CSP. The results further reveal that the effect of CEO social capital on stakeholder integration is moderated by CEO tenure, such that the relationship is more significant for long‐tenured CEOs than short‐tenured CEOs. These findings extend the social capital and corporate social responsibility research and practice.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the roles of dual personal values (individualistic and collectivistic) and consumer attitudes toward dual purchase consequences (individual and environmental) as the precursors of a commitment to green consumption. Furthermore, the variance within the studied relationships is explored across the segments of the selected consumer sample. Design/methodology/approach Partial least squares and finite mixture–partial least squares path modeling approaches are employed to examine the studied relationships and check for heterogeneity, respectively, among the sample of 406 Vietnamese consumers. Findings The results indicate that individualistic values positively and negatively affect attitudes toward purchase consequences at the individual and environmental levels, respectively, while collectivistic values have only a positive impact on attitudes at the environment level. Compared to the individual level, attitudes toward environmental purchase consequences propagate a fuller commitment to green consumption. Collectivistic, but not individualistic, consumers are a suitable target segment for green business. Consumers within the selected sample exhibit different green behavioral patterns. Originality/value This research provides valuable insights into the under-researched aspect of green consumption commitment based on an extended value–attitude–behavior model. Previously unobserved heterogeneity is revealed and green consumption tendency segments are identified.

In spite of the burgeoning literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR), little is known about the mechanism through which stakeholder integration affects corporate social performance (CSP). Our study fills this gap in the CSR literature by testing a model that explains this mechanism. Using data from 228 firms, we found that stakeholder integration positively influences a firm's CSR commitment and this linkage is attenuated when uncertainty in CSR regulation is greater. In addition, the results revealed that a firm's CSR commitment mediates the relationship between stakeholder integration and CSP. Theoretical and practical contributions are discussed.
