“…The discriminant validity is assessed using average variance extracted (AVE). Discriminant validity “differentiates between one construct and another in the same mode” (Ghadi, Alwi, Bakar, & Talib, , p. 140). An AVE value of more than 0.7 is considered very good, whereas the level of 0.5 and above is acceptable (Hair, Black, Balin, & Anderson, ).…”

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and business value of multinational corporations are significantly tied to corporate reputation. In this work, we investigated the mediating influence of corporate reputation of multinational companies (MNCs) on their CSR strategy and economic business value. The study adapted a quantitative methodology with a sample of respondents from multinational corporations in Ghana—an emerging economy. Drawing from 267 employees of MNCs in Ghana, a structural equation modelling and bootstrapping analysis are used to assess the hypothesised relationship. The results showed that CSR strategy positively and significantly predicts economic business value and corporate reputation of MNCs. Findings also showed that corporate reputation mediates the relationship between CSR strategy and economic business value of MNCs operating in emerging economies. This study suggests that good corporate reputation significantly influences MNCs' strategy in corporate responsibility and economic business value. Thus, management of MNCs can enhance their corporate business objectives through sustainability practices.

Abstract. Th is article will contribute to better understanding of the phenomenon of market orientation and measurement of market orientation on the Czech market. Th e primary aim of this paper is to describe a concept of market orientation and to develop a modifi ed model of market orientation (MMOM). Th e target group of respondents is mainly managers (N=328) of high-tech companies. Reached respondents were asked to fi ll in a questionnaire prepared on a website in digital form. A seven-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (absolutely disagree) to 7 (absolutely agree) were used to help the respondents express their opinion. Th e main method of statistical analysis is exploratory and confi rmatory factor analysis. Th is analysis supported the hypothesis about four-factor structure. Four dimensions (Customer Intelligence Generation, Competitor Intelligence Generation, Intelligence Dissemination & Integration and Responsiveness to Market Intelligence) were found.

“…Ghadi et al [54] suggest that "(t)he validation emphasizes a logical analysis and tests the relationships predicated based on theoretical considerations". Therefore, we focused on the selections of essential necessities in a combined model from Ajzen's theory of planned behavior and the value-belief-norm theory by Stern et al, to investigate the effects of normative beliefs, social norms, and attitudes on pro-environmental behavior in Figure 3.…”

Abstract:This study has adopted and refined Ajzen's theory of planned behavior, theory of reasoned action, and the value-belief-norm theory by Stern et al. to investigate the effects of normative beliefs, attitudes, and social norms on pro-environmental behavioral intentions. A total of 391 valid responses were collected from visitors to a theme park in Taiwan. A structure equation analysis indicated that the overall fit of the proposed model was supported. It was also found that both attitudes and social norms had positive and significant influence on waste reduction. While the results did not reveal any direct relation between normative beliefs and behavioral intentions, normative beliefs had positive direct influence on social norms and attitudes, which in turn had an impact on behavioral intentions. The findings provided further insights about pro-environmental behavioral intentions from an Asia perspective and highlighted important implications for environmental policies and education to reduce waste.
