“…The Theory of Reasoned Action argues that an individual's attitudes and subjective norms contribute to behavioral intentions that lead to actual behavior. It is argued in this study that the socioeconomic context faced by males and females justifies the differences in the borrowing behavior noted in a different geographical context (Wang et al, 2021;Aboelmaged, 2021;Holdsworth, 2020). For example, disadvantaged women in low-income countries may intend to borrow due to their inability to meet the high cost of health care financing, but they may not be able to borrow as borrowers need to meet the financial requirements stipulated by the bank.…”

“…The Theory of Planned Behavior is merely an extension of the Theory of Reasoned Action as it includes the attributes related to perceived behavioral control, which was not captured by the latter (Wang et al, 2021;Aboelmaged, 2021;Holdsworth, 2020). The primary difference between these two theories is that the former provides a holistic picture of the consumer's behavioral intentions and their decision to engage in purchasing behavior (Wang et al, 2021;Aboelmaged, 2021;Holdsworth, 2020). Undoubtedly, social scientists are grateful to Icek Ajzen, who first proposed the Theory of Planned Behavior and paved the way for future researchers to apply this new theory to different fields of study, such as health care, finance, accounting, and economics, to understand consumer behavior (Wang et al, 2021;Aboelmaged, 2021;Holdsworth, 2020).…”

Several theories are developed by applying the Theory of Planned Behavior to different fields of study, and some of these theories are learning, attribution, and consistency theories.…”

“…The primary aim of universal health care coverage is that everyone can access healthcare services without facing financial difficulties while paying for these services. One of the major objectives of private sector involvement in providing health care services is to achieve economies of scale and transfer these savings to consumers (Wagstaff & Neelsen, 2020;Agustina et al, 2019). In September 2015, around 193 countries worldwide agreed to the overly ambitious Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) of providing universal healthcare coverage that is feasible and affordable to everyone.…”

With the rising cost of healthcare, most households are resorting to out-of-pocket financing or borrowing to finance the high cost of health care. Intuitively, healthcare's rising cost is a global concern and is subject to a thorough economic debate. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 focuses on health care financing for all ages to promote everyone's healthy lifestyle. There are two objectives of this study, and these are as follows: (1) Examine the relationship between borrowing for health or medical purposes and credit card use and ownership, and (2) Explore the significant gender differences concerning borrowing for health or medical purposes. Data for this study was collected from the Global Findex Database and analyzed using the Eviews8 and Microsoft Excel software. The findings from this study confirmed that borrowing for health or medical purposes, primary education, or less (% age 15+) has a statistically significant impact on credit card ownership and usage in high-income countries. There was no relationship of this nature evident in the case of low-income countries. There are significant differences between borrowing for health or medical reasons between males and females in Austria and Lithuania. Both Austria and Lithuania are high-income countries, but in the case of low-income countries, significant gender differences were found for Madagascar and Nepal. This study is timely and has contributed immensely to the existing literature.

Sustainable management of electronic waste: Empirical evidences from a stakeholders' perspective

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

With rapid advancements in technology, the evolution and demand for electronic/ electric devices have drastically increased. The exponential increase in the use of technology to fulfill the needs of the fast-paced information era has led to electronic and electrical devices being discarded or disposed of at a faster rate than in the past. This phenomenon has resulted in e-waste becoming the fastest-growing form of solid waste. E-waste is classified as hazardous waste and can be harmful to the environment and health if not disposed of responsibly. Therefore, alternatives, such as exporting, landfilling, and recycling (from different economic, social, technical, and environmental criteria), are of interest to minimize the disposal of this toxic waste form into landfill sites. The analytic hierarchy process approach was deployed to evaluate and prioritize alternatives for e-waste processing systems in the United Arab Emirates context. The obtained results indicate that recycling has the highest priority among the studied alternatives in the e-waste processing system. The low economic and environmental awareness of stakeholders with regard to e-waste shows that e-waste management system initiatives must be expedited to adhere to e-waste best practices implemented nationally and internationally.analytic hierarchy process (AHP), e-waste, e-waste management (EWM), integrated sustainable solid waste management (ISSWM), sustainablity, United Arab Emirates (UAE)

The rapid growth of e‐waste or waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) has garnered significant attention from scholars, particularly in the behavioral domain. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis and content analysis to provide a systematic review of WEEE‐behavioral research. Firstly, a bibliometric analysis was performed using Biblioshiny (R packages) on a sample of 293 articles from Scopus and WOS databases. This part addresses the research question: A) How has the WEEE‐behavioral domain evolved over time in terms of key journals, institutions, countries, trending topics, and research streams? Secondly, a content analysis was conducted on 41 relevant articles that were able to address the following research questions: B) What are the main theories utilized and their implications in WEEE‐behavioral research? and C) what are the potential directions for future research? The findings reveal two distinct research categories, namely circular economic behavior and behavioral spillovers, with seven underlying and emerging clusters followed by corresponding research streams. Additionally, the theory of planned behavior (TPB) emerged as the core theory that was extensively utilized and expanded upon. Consequently, this study contributes to 1) understanding the evolution of the WEEE‐behavioral domain, 2) proposing an integrated theoretical framework, 3) identifying the primary research streams and their interconnections, and 4) suggesting avenues for future research, supported by a robust conceptual model for hypothesis generation.
