“…This article investigates the positive aspects that support the usage of car sharing as discussed in the literature [57,[77][78][79]. Based on the literature analysis, it is possible to state that the motivational factors for car-sharing users could be divided into three groups: first, the environmental benefits, including sustainability aspects [80]; second, the economic benefits, where the issue of cost-saving plays a dominant role; and third, the utility aspect, including the individual perception of users regarding the convenience of services and the level of satisfaction of individual needs. Socio-demographic factors, especially "age", are also important for the growth of the car-sharing business models in the last decade.…”

“…As the literature analysis reveals, the relevance of the different motivational factors in the perception of the users of a car-sharing service is not equal. Some studies show that rational reasons for participation in car-sharing system are considered as most important: users highlight the significance of saving costs, high personal utility, trust in the service provider and familiarity with it [57,[77][78][79][80].…”

Mobility, its current state and development perspectives in the future creates challenges with respect to sustainability, the first of which is the uncontrolled increase in greenhouse gas emissions in the last few decades, while road transport is one of the “sinners” creating long-term negative impact. The second is the dominance of car travel and car usage in the passenger transportation segment before the latest COVID-19 pandemic accelerated environmental problems. Although recent trends show new, greener patterns in consumption, there is still a relatively low share of consumers acknowledging the importance of sustainable and green preferences. This research study aims to investigate car sharing from users’ perspectives and to determine the most significant factors influencing their choice of sharing services to ensure upscaling of car sharing and, thus, contribute to urban sustainability. This research study contributes to the overall scientific discussion on car sharing and its role within urban sustainability, particularly with the following: (1) deeper investigation of car sharing and its users motivation perspectives in Latvia; (2) analyses of the most significant motivational factors for car-sharing users and aspects of sustainability; and (3) the insight into the generational differences triggering a number of car-sharing users. The existing and potential users of car sharing were surveyed in order to determine the motivational factors for its usage and attitudes towards it. Socio-demographic variables in statistical analysis were used to identify economic and environmental factors that meaningfully influence the choice of car-sharing services. The results of this study can support further development in new car-sharing business models and the value proposition for consumers in Latvia, as well as preparing policy recommendations on the promotion of sustainable transport. These findings are also useful to academics for the investigation of recent trends in car sharing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nowadays, digital technologies play an essential role in accomplishing long-term stability and help to reach sustainability goals in an environmentally friendly manner [16]. They are also better prepared for sudden crises than companies that do not follow the concept of sustainable management in overcoming, for example, a crisis in COVID-19.…”

“…Several studies have been conducted on this issue in Latvia by Lace, Ciemleja, Atstaja, Tambovceva, Mavlutova, Natrins, Spilbergs, Fomins and others [10][11][12][13][14]. Previously, the authors have emphasized the need for education and especially the development of a green mindset [15,16], but the opinion of the Latvian society towards ESG investments under the pandemic has not been studied yet. Therefore, the authors have conducted a current study on the importance of sustainable investment in Latvian society and studied the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on changes in the willingness of citizens to invest in environmental, social and governance skills based on the level of education in general and financial literacy in particular.…”

The latest studies reveal that the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed investors in developed economies to focus more on the value attached to environmental and social responsibilities. Unfortunately, socially responsible investment and compliance with environmental, social and governance criteria are not given enough priority in Latvia at present. The purpose of the study is to investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the willingness of Latvians to invest in assets that meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria and factors influencing investors’ choice based on their financial literacy. Different views on sustainable investments, socially responsible investments and the relevance of environmental, social and governance criteria from private investors’ perspectives were analyzed to identify factors influencing investment decisions in favour of sustainable investments. Quantitative analysis was carried out to reveal the regularities between financial literacy, the willingness to invest to meet the ESG criteria and the level of education and income of the Latvian population, as well as their savings/investment experience. Such statistical methods as descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing were applied to perform an analysis of the results. The authors’ findings include the importance of sustainable investing to Latvian society, changes of attitude towards ESG investing in different private investors’ groups under the COVID-19 crisis, and the effects of these changes on the financial well-being of the population and, on the basis of these findings, have come to the conclusion that the willingness to invest in the assets that follow environmental, social and governance criteria depends on the level of education, savings/investment experience and income level.

As the nature of this study is exploratory, extensive review of literature through systematic, clear, and reproducible design for detecting, evaluating, and inferring the existing body of recorded 106 documents from published and unpublished journal articles, international reports and books related to issues was used as a secondary data source. The study pointed out that indigenous culture like indigenous leadership culture, indigenous team working and indigenous skills have a significant effect on entrepreneurial development; local resources such as infrastructure, local human capital and finance limitation, environmental marketing, innovation and distinctive competitive advantage have a significant impact on entrepreneurial development. The study implicates a distinctive gap between eco-friendly environmental theory and the practical application of green products for entrepreneurial development. Further empirical research will be needed for future studies. Finally, the study forwards future concern areas and recommends the value of this work with its limitations.
