“…In contrast, under the condition of low dysfunctional competition, the value of practicing CSR in improving firm sustainable growth becomes limited. These results also support our arguments that when institutional support is weak, reflecting high levels of dysfunctional competition in a market, practicing CSR is particularly important for firms because it helps them develop a positive culture of mutual trust and valuable implicit contracts between them and their stakeholders [23,85], which in turn helps firms keep sustainable growth in both the product innovation stage and marketing stage. In contrast, when institutional support is strong, moral hazards in a market, such as contract breaking or violation of intellectual property rights, become less of a concern, so practicing CSR becomes less important for firms to maintain sustainable growth.…”

“…Other contingent factors might affect this relationship. For example, ethical leadership can strengthen the trustworthy relationship between firms and their core stakeholders, such as customers and employees [85]. Thus, according to the logic of resource dependence theory, ethical leadership should affect the relationship between CSR and firm sustainable growth.…”

In this study, we examine the relationships between CSR (e.g., CSR aimed at employees, customers, suppliers, and governments) and firm sustainable growth, and how dysfunctional competition moderates these relationships. Based on resource dependence theory, we argue that CSR aimed at four chosen groups of stakeholders (e.g., employees, customers, suppliers, and governments) is positively related to firm sustainable growth and that the levels of dysfunctional competition will positively moderate these relationships. Our results, using a sample of technology firms in China, provide support for these arguments. We find that CSR aimed at employees, customers, suppliers, and governments is positively related to firm sustainable growth. In addition, using the contingence approach, we find that CSR aimed at the four chosen groups of stakeholders has a stronger positive relationship with firm sustainable growth when the level of dysfunctional competition is high than when it is low. Our findings have important theoretical and managerial implications, which are discussed in this study.

PurposeThe study aims to understand how corporate social responsibility (CSR) and happiness are used together in various research studies to serve the ultimate goal of corporate sustainability (CS), which in turn contributes to sustainable development.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review (SLR) was made using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method in the two most-reputable databases of Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus, revealing a final list of 54 studies to analyse.FindingsThe review concludes that the literature on CSR and happiness provides three main findings: first, concerning the pillars of sustainability, most of the studies concentrate on people, neglecting the planet and profit, second, employees are subject to the highest number of studies as the target of CSR initiative and third, almost all studies employed the hedonic aspect of happiness in CSR literature.Research limitations/implicationsThis particular research finding points to the need for developing a comprehensive framework to assess stakeholder happiness from both hedonic and eudaimonic aspects from a CSR perspective which is then represented under the three pillars of sustainability.Practical implicationsTo contribute to the ultimate goal of CS, management would design CSR initiatives for all stakeholders to increase both hedonic and eudaimonic happiness of them.Originality/valueThe literature provides reviews of research in CSR and happiness separately; however, there is not any research revealing how these two concepts are used together in studies and how this association could be read to serve the goal of CS.

“…These factors can either enhance or hinder an individual's well-being depending on their presence or absence. It is important to consider both internal and external factors when addressing psychological well-being, as they interact and in uence each other (Ma & Latif, 2022;Andayani et al, 2021;Bhowmik et al, 2023). By understanding and addressing these factors, individuals can work towards improving their psychological well-being and overall quality of life.…”

Background: Psychological well-being is not just a static trait but a dynamic construct that can change over time. Given the dynamic nature of psychological well-being, which can fluctuate in response to life events, stressors, and developmental changes, the need for reliable and sensitive measurement tools is paramount. Objective: This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the reliability generalization of Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB) as a suitable tool for assessing individual psychological well-being at any point in time. Method: This meta-analysis uses a systematic search method and stringent inclusion criteria to assess the reliability of the Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB) in a variety of demographic contexts. To ensure objectivity, this meta-analysis assesses the SPWB utilizing a pre-registered procedure (CRD42024508542). With QUADAS-2 and COSMIN Risk of Bias serving as guiding principles for quality assessment, data from ten research published between 2015 and 2023 were analysed using a common and random-effects model. Knowledge of the psychometric qualities of SPWB is improved by this work. Results: The meta-analysis confirmed the SPWB's high reliability, with both models showing a 0.92 reliability coefficient (95% CI [0.88; 0.95]) and significant statistical support (z = 48.69 and 45.93, p < .05). Minimal study variability (τ²= 0.0002, I² = 0.0%) and a non-significant heterogeneity test (Q = 7.58, df = 9, p = .57). The meta-analysis on SPWB versions SPWB-6 to SPWB-40 showed high reliability, with Cronbach’s alpha from 0.70 to 0.96. Common and random effects models indicated alphas of 0.92 and 0.89, respectively, and low to moderate heterogeneity (I² = 26.7%). The meta-analysis on psychological well-being dimensions showed high consistency, with Cronbach's alphas from 0.68 to 0.70. Overall reliability was strong (z-value 6.04, p < .05), with no heterogeneity (I2 = 0.0%, Q = 0.00, p = 1.00), indicating consistent reliability across dimensions. Conclusion: This meta-analysis reinforces the significance of Ryff's SPWB as a reliable and versatile tool for assessing individual psychological well-being at any point, highlighting its implications for both practice and research.
