“…Wang and Zhang (2018) found that green social consciousness is one of the preliminary driving forces for firms to choose green management strategy, which can directly and positively affect green technology innovation. Rustam et al (2020) found that environmental awareness significantly regulates the relationship between environmental disclosure and consumers' willingness to participate in ecologically responsible consumption activities.…”

Green innovation is a key component of sustainable development amid the fast transition to a low-carbon world. As the most populous country in the world, China displays apparent disparity of green innovation across regions. The extant literature mainly conducted a single factor research on the impact of green innovation and come to conflicting results. Therefore, this study aims to systematically investigate the antecedent multi-factor mechanisms contributing to high green innovation performance.We make the initial attempt to employ a clear-set qualitative comparative analysis(QCA) method to conduct a multi-factor configuration analysis with a sample of 30 provinces and autonomous regions in China. Different from the traditional quantitative regression analysis, this study analyzes 7 conditions jointly to explore the underlying configurations mechanism of green innovation. The results reveal 3 driving configurations for high green innovation performance: resource-driven, policy-dependent and environment-friendly. And the results further suggest that: First, innovation resources ensure the development of green innovation ,and high green innovation performance depends on the richness of innovation resources; Second, environmental regulation serves as a key condition to improve green innovation in the regions with high investment in green innovation and strong government support, and the policy support and effective government guidance are the guarantees for green innovation; Third, the quantity of inter-provincial R&D technology spillovers or foreign investment is the driving force for green innovation in the regions with strong social responsibility. This study takes into consideration of multi-factors that may affect green innovation to address the potential causal relationships, which overcomes the inconsistency in previous single-factor research. The findings shed light on the feasible paths for managers to improve firms’ high green innovation performance in practice.

“…Simultaneously, as a well-known attitude-behavior relationship theory in social psychology, planned behavior theory has also been introduced into the dynamic analysis of green behavior [11]. In addition, some researchers are concerned about green behaviors of individuals, including green consumption [12,13,14], green travel [15], and the choice of green furniture or decoration [16,17].…”

With the global warming, soil erosion and a series of environmental problems are worsening. Green sustainable development has increasingly become a major issue of human concern. This study established a dynamic interaction model to explore the influence of green information and the social relations. Due to the continuous evolution of the network and the heterogeneity of individuals, the transition probability of each node is combined with time-varying parameters that reflect its current state. Then, guided by hypernetwork theory and microscopic Markov chain approach, this model is analyzed. Furthermore, the effects of various adjustment parameters on the green behaviors are compared and tested. The results show that behavior diffusion is not only affected by the diffusion of green information, but also closely related to the change of social relations. Finally, combined with the diffusion of green information, a propagation mechanism that simulates damped harmonic motion is proposed to maximize the green behavior. The results show that the final practice fraction of green behavior has been significantly improved.

“…Zhang et al [ 6 ] determined the impact of haze pollution on residents’ green consumption behavior. Rustam et al [ 3 ] examined the relationship between corporate environmental sustainability disclosure and green consumption behavior with the moderating role of environmental awareness. Furthermore, several studies have determined socioeconomic factors (e.g., gender, age, family size, and income) that influence green food purchase behavior [ 1 , 4 ].…”

Green food consumption is a core issue that contributes to solving environmental pollution and achieving sustainable development. This study aims to investigate the mediating role of green food consumption and social trust in the relationship between perceived consumer effectiveness and psychological wellbeing to provide new insights into green food consumption, based on social ideal theory and social trust theory. Using a sample data of 514 consumers in China, the results of structural equation modeling showed that perceived consumer effectiveness was positively related to psychological wellbeing. Furthermore, green food consumption mediated the relationship between perceived consumer effectiveness and psychological wellbeing. In addition, social trust moderated the relationship between perceived consumer effectiveness and green food consumption. Social trust also moderated the indirect effect of perceived consumer effectiveness on psychological wellbeing through green food consumption. The findings of this study enrich the extant literature relating to green food consumption and have practical implications for business managers and policymakers.
