“…The R 2 measure of the endogenous construct on national innovativeness is 0.58, which is good to substantial (Henseler, Ringle & Sinkovics, ; Schloderer, Ringle & Sarstedt, ). Significance of the path models has been tested by running 1,000 bootstrap samples.…”

This study investigates the relationship between personality factors, cultural practices, and innovativeness on the national level. Hitherto no study has been done which considers these factors simultaneously. We argue that the relationship between national aggregated personality factors and the level of national innovation is mediated by national cultural practices. Our model is based on three arguments: First, Five Factor theory and cultural theory state that the national personality profile of a country influences its cultural practices. Second, personenvironment-fit theory argues that personality factors can best manifest themselves in an appropriate environment. Third, in contrast to the individual level, we argue that on the national level cultural practices may not act as a moderator but as a mediator. Based on the triangulation of three datasets, we subsequently test our model on a sample of N = 33 countries. Our results demonstrate that innovation-relevant national personality profiles are closely linked with innovation-relevant national cultural practices. Further, we show that national cultural practices mediate the relationship between national personality profiles and national innovativeness. Additionally, we reveal that the recently proposed relationship between nationally aggregated personality profiles and national innovativeness virtually disappears as soon as national cultural practices are integrated into the model.

“…Given the objectives of this study, we used SEM based on the PLS approach for measurement, validation and testing of the structural model. We used SmartPLS version 3.0 (Ringle et al, 2015), because the PLS approach enabled us to estimate a complex model with many latent variables, indicator variables and structural paths. The variance-based PLS method is preferable to the covariance-based alternative when the construct modeling is established as a composite model of multiple indicators and multiple causes (MIMIC), and the conceptualization of the measurement model is reflective (Sarstedt et al, 2016).…”

Purpose This paper aims to define and measure the environmental capabilities that are applied when the circular economy (CE) is introduced in businesses. Founded on the dynamic capabilities theoretical approach, the study analyzes different environmental competences that firms apply during this process. Environmental management systems, corporate social responsibility, reporting and accountability and other environmental accounting practices are studied in the same analytical framework used to study the environmental capabilities that influence the circular scope (CS) of firms. This study contributes to bridging the gap between academic research focused on environmental accounting and that investigating the introduction of the CE in businesses. Design/methodology/approach The results were obtained by using partial least squares structural equation modeling to analyze the relationship between environmental capabilities for the CE and the CS achieved by a sample of Spanish firms with more than 50 employees that expressed interest in the CE, eco-design, eco-innovation and other environmental issues. Findings Based on an analysis using the dynamic capabilities theoretical approach, the results suggest a positive relationship between the CS of firms, their environmental accounting practices and their level of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and accountability. Stakeholders’ pressure – which has a mediating effect on the CS of firms – is also analyzed, adding new insights to recent studies of this topic at the micro-level. The authors also explore whether the CS of businesses, which is related to the degree of their development of capabilities, influences environmental and financial performance. Practical implications The new insights obtained in this study can help overcome the limitations of conventional accounting approaches and incorporates a much broader scale of environmental information that can be applied to CE practices. These results also offer insights to practitioners regarding the internal measurement processes related to the CE and regarding CSR in particular for small and medium enterprises, because these metrics can be partially applied depending on the practices introduced in each firm. For policymakers, a better understanding of the CE’s introduction into businesses will contribute to the design of policies that can enhance its deployment, for example, by providing tools that set up regional priorities depending on the CE-related practices adopted by the firms located in the territory. Social implications A CE involves the transformation of a linear economic model into a circular one to reduce dependence on raw materials and energy and to reduce the environmental impact of production and consumption. Understanding how to manage the specific competences that integrate capabilities applied to the CE will allow firms to improve their social and environmental reporting. In addition, other social implications of this study relate to improving relationships with consumers and stakeholders and to the practice of social corporate sustainability. Originality/value This study goes beyond previous research on the CE to extend the authors’ knowledge about its adoption at the micro-level by taking a transversal approach, as its subject spans the fields of environmental accounting and the CE while addressing both in a framework of analysis. The analysis of the accounting concerns of the CE in businesses and the study of concerns related to endogenous environmental competences are quite original under the theoretical framework of dynamic capabilities, and this study is a first step in an incipient line of inquiry.

In our present paper, the influence of data quality on the success of the user acceptance of research information systems (RIS) is investigated and determined. Until today, only a little research has been done on this topic and no studies have been carried out. So far, just the importance of data quality in RIS, the investigation of its dimensions and techniques for measuring, improving, and increasing data quality in RIS (such as data profiling, data cleansing, data wrangling, and text data mining) has been focused. With this work, we try to derive an answer to the question of the impact of data quality on the success of RIS user acceptance. An acceptance of RIS users is achieved when the research institutions decide to replace the RIS and replace it with a new one. The result is a statement about the extent to which data quality influences the success of users’ acceptance of RIS.
