“…Accordingly, when consumers are faced with extremely incongruent products, the lack of such meaning will be partly made up by affirming the dominant brand. In addition, meaning can be compensated by means of affirming ethical beliefs, such as a preference for environment-friendly (i.e., green) products ( Waheed et al, 2020 ; Awan et al, 2021 ; Jabeen et al, 2021 ; Stojčić, 2021 ; Kolling et al, 2022 ), assuming that buying these products is conducive to improve society and ease tensions arising from the violation of expectancies ( Qiu et al, 2020 ; Sadiq et al, 2021 ). Besides, people will affirm their cultural identity through ethnocentric consumption after experiencing a violation of expectancies ( Narang, 2016 ; Li and Katsumata, 2020 ).…”

Under fierce market competition, firms are accelerating the pace of product innovation, which may bring extremely incongruent new products. Generally, consumers are unfamiliar with extreme incongruence, resulting in passive product evaluation and a low success rate. This study draws on the meaning maintenance model of fluid compensation theory to examine how extremely incongruent new products influence product evaluation. Three experiments indicate that consumers’ product evaluation of extremely incongruent new products is significantly lower than that of congruent products, and it can be notably improved by three ways of fluid compensation. The findings revealed that anxiety moderates the relationship between extremely incongruent new products and product evaluations, and further self-esteem moderates the relationship on the main effects. Overall, our research reconciles divergent findings on the effect of extremely incongruent new products on the effects of product evaluation and further provides rich managerial implications for product innovation management.

“…Several reviews of CSR are available (Carroll and Shabana, 2010;Peloza and Shang, 2011;Frynas and Yamahaki, 2016) and a parallel universe seems to exist due to a variety of conceptualizations of CSR (Aguinis and Glavas, 2012). Researchers in various disciplines have conceptualized CSR through different frameworks and levels of analysis, and many studies link CSR with sustainability (Kolling et al, 2022), while a growing body claims that the social dimension of sustainability remains understudied (Desiderio et al, 2021). In this study, a relatively newer and innovative conceptualization of CSR is taken into account of embedded CSR and peripheral CSR proposed by Aguinis and Glavas (2012).…”

Do Embedded and Peripheral Corporate Social Responsibility Activities Lower Employees’ Turnover Intentions?

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) remains a topic of interest for both theory and practice due to its multifaceted avenues and potential for growth. We have chosen embedded CSR and peripheral CSR measures to evaluate how these activities affect the employee turnover intentions via a mediation mechanism of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). In doing so, this study addresses important stakeholder concerns and provides meaningful managerial contributions for the employers to encourage more employee participation (through lowering turnover intention) toward sustainable corporate performance. This study incorporates four hypotheses that are tested in a structural equation modeling framework by employing Warp-PLS software. Data were collected from 297 employees working in firms that are renowned for their CSR initiatives. We found support for our key hypotheses leading to strong theoretical contributions to the stakeholder theory. We have addressed the main issues of stakeholders’ response to the CSR tradeoffs and have tried to develop a deeper understanding of managers in initiating peripheral and embedded CSR activities for their firms.

“…Several studies show a set of potential solutions for filling the gap between consumers and sustainable packaging. Sustainable packaging needs to be designed with good communication and interaction, to highlight the environmental benefits of the product and the packaging, and to inform consumers of the proper way to reuse and recycle, and how their behaviours can contribute to reducing the environmental impact [21,25,26].…”

Sustainable Design Strategy of Cosmetic Packaging in China Based on Life Cycle Assessment

2022

Consumptions of cosmetics present a steady growth trend from 2018 to 2021 in China. While environmental impact generated are becoming prominent issues. Numbers of research on the sustainability of cosmetics are focusing on ingredient choices and production; however, the packaging generates more impact than the ingredient extraction in some specific scenarios, and it should be paid more attention to. The role of packaging deserves deep consideration under the background of a circular economy. This research aims to: (i) figure out the impact hotspot through life cycle assessment (LCA) of representative cosmetic packaging in the Chinese market, (ii) conduct a series of sensitivity analyses to figure out to what extent these potential scenarios influence the environmental performance of the packaging, (iii) obtain the significance of these variables to the sustainable design of the packaging. Finally, a set of sustainable design strategies for cosmetic packaging are proposed for the designer from the aspect of facilitating user reuse and recycling behaviour, material selection, and others.
