“…In short, those individuals with high social capital have more opportunity for social support, influence, engagement and access to resources that impact health. Testing this association in refugee settings has been rarer, but generally supports the association 14 15. The work of Silove et al points out that ‘the massive disruptions to family and social networks in the context of extreme human rights violations undermines the fundamental sense of coherence of refugees, many becoming isolated and losing trust in authority structures’.…”

“…In rural regions, a social network mostly includes two components, i.e., a clan association network, shaped through blood links, and a resident's self-organization, structured with cooperative or trading relationships [29]. A livelihood strategy allows for the vendors of a project to add to their social capital via the development of strong ties with investors, suppliers, and community members, resulting in high business performance [30]. When business owners focus on the livelihood strategies of their employees and make strong social capital ties with them, business performance is likely to increase more effectively [31].…”

Livelihood strategies are a combination of activities and actions that individuals undertake to accomplish their desired goals. The current study aimed to examine the impacts of livelihood strategies on business performance. This study explored social capital as a mediator between livelihood strategies and business performance. This study further investigated how environmental perception strengthens livelihood strategies and business performance. For data collection, a quantitative research method and a random sampling technique were used. Data were collected through 550 questionnaires from small–medium enterprises (SMEs) in China. To test the study hypotheses, structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed. The findings confirm the notion that livelihood strategies are positively associated with business performance. The results also corroborate the notion that social capital mediates the association between livelihood strategies and business performance. The outcome validates the notion that livelihood strategies and business performance are further articulated when environmental perception is higher. Environmental perception moderated the impacts of livelihood strategies on business performance via social capital. The current research provides a better understanding of how livelihood strategies facilitate amplified business performance via social capital and the valuable role of environmental perception in research models.

Plastic waste poses a significant challenge to achieving sustainable production and consumption of resources, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where effective governance and waste management systems are lacking. In this paper, we develop an empirical understanding of the influence of public governance system on promoting circular economy (CE) for plastic actions among individuals. Through a survey of 1475 participants across five sub-Saharan African countries, we tested five hypotheses drawing on New Governance Theory and CE Action Recipe to explore the relationship between governance and individual’s actions supporting CE for plastic. We found that a governance system that supports CE practices and exhibits governance efficiency is positively associated with individuals’ actions supporting CE for plastic. The awareness of government policies, laws and regulations, institutions, processes, and programmes have a significant impact on individuals’ engagement in plastic circularity practices. The paper’s theoretical and governance implications highlight the relevance of public governance in shaping action towards a CE for plastic at the individual level.
