Excessive energy consumption and carbon emission damages the ecological environment and socially sustainable development in China. Organizations are major energy consumers, and should be principally responsible for energy saving. Despite that many organizational leaders know it is urgent to manage the energy saving behavior of employees, "how to effectively manage" receives less attention in both academic and practical fields. To fill this gap, this study adapts charismatic leadership theory to develop a theoretical model and explores how organizational leaders manage the electricity saving behavior of employees. This model was tested with a survey of 627 full-time employees from 14 provinces and municipalities of China. Results show that sustainable development vision, electricity saving cues, inspiration and role modeling significantly increase the electricity saving responsibility of employees, which in turn positively influences their electricity saving behavior. Moreover, organizational reward policy buffers the positive relationship between responsibility and behavior. This study contributes to energy conservation literature by explaining what characteristics of leadership improve the electricity saving behavior of employees and how leader characteristics match with organizational policy to effectively manage this. The practical implications for electricity saving management are also discussed. organizational structure, norm, and climate) [8]. Moreover, the individual consumption costs of energy usage in a workplace differ from those in a household [4]. Extant research paid more attention to household energy saving than organizational energy saving. However, in reality, organizations (such as governments and enterprises) consume more energy than families. Organizations are the most accountable for environmental protection and socially sustainable development [12]. Electricity is a major form of energy consumed by various organizations Statistical reports show that organizational electricity usage accounts for over 85% of the total electricity usage in 2019 [13]. Researchers indicate that organizational electricity conservation is limited by the wasteful behavior of employees because they do not have to pay for their electricity usage in organizations [8,14]. A branch of research [4,15,16] only focuses on electricity saving issues of office workers in an office setting. For example, Zhang and colleagues (2013, 2014) used survey data collected from office workers in Beijing to test a theoretical model and found that social benefits, personal benefits, personal norms and organizational electricity saving climate significantly improve the electricity saving attitude and behavior of office workers in office settings [4,16].They explained that they used office workers as a sample for two reasons. First, organizations in service industry, such as government institutions, schools, hospitals, financial companies, software companies, and other service enterprises do not engage in manufacturing. Employees in these or...

“…[8] revealed that financial development lowers energy intensity using the case of Ghana. [9] confirmed financial development are positively correlated and have a significant impact on the energy intensity level in the top ASEAN countries. However, as a subset of the more general literatures on energy intensity, very few studies have focused on finding the impact of urbanization and financial development on electricity intensity.…”

This paper aims at exploring the impact of urbanization and financial development on electricity intensity in China during the period 2004-2018. By employing a panel vector autoregressive (VAR) approach, the study finds that the electricity intensity response to one standard deviation shock on urbanization shows a negative impact, and a positive shock to financial development initially increases electricity intensity and eventually decreases electricity intensity. Our analysis is important for policy makers for improving electricity efficiency planning and sustainable economic development policies.

“…The analysis of the literature in this paper indicates that so far the authors have focused on improving the efficiency of electricity use and reliability [2,5,12,13,23] and on technical aspects of schemes and possible innovative solutions [25][26][27][28][29] that automate processes which improve stability in the power system.…”

“…This paper has come out with the solution methods to analyze the way of enhancing the economy and dependability of China's distributing system planning by the optimal utilization of distributed generation and resources of DSR. Due to the great technological advancements of most power network transmission systems, the majority of available DSR literature concerns the development of smart grids [20][21][22], including an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system to predict the relationship among energy intensity and globalization [23].…”

The DSR Scheme in the Capacity Market of Industrial Enterprises in Poland—Participation Determinants

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The purpose of this article is to present the key differences between the Polish Guaranteed DSR (demand-side response) Scheme operating from 2017 to 2020 and the Polish Capacity Market DSR Scheme operating from 2021, and their impacts on the decision to participate in the DSR scheme. The present study attempts to compare the rules of the old and new schemes and their impacts on the participation decision depending on the industry of the potential scheme participant. The study was conducted on a group of 50 randomly selected companies. A structured interview was used to collect information, and a chi-quadrant independence test and a Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney test were used in the analysis of the collected data. The study was conducted in selected enterprises located in Poland. The results of the study indicate the elements that are similar to the literature on the subject, and key aspects arising from the unique characteristics of the Polish market and the industry of the potential participant. A detailed analysis of the collected data showed that the position of the respondent in the company and the size of the company do not affect the level of knowledge of the DSR market, or the decision concerning cooperation or the manner of reduction. All the respondents have higher opinions about the new Capacity Market DSR Scheme, which confirms the proper direction of the changes in relation to the ending Guaranteed DSR Scheme.
