“…Kono and Sato (2023) contended that, the procedures for model evaluation were clearly defined for CB-SEM but not for PLS-SEM. The common software packages including SmartPLS, ADANCO and cSEM that were used to run the PLS-SEM did not however incorporate the specific feature to evaluate the overall fit of PLS-SEM to data (Venturini, Mehmetoglu & Latan, 2023). It is very likely due to varying indicators' weights and scores across different composite models that renders it difficulty to develop a unique evaluation approach for model fit (Guenther, Guenther, Ringle, Zaefarian & Cartwright, 2023).…”

Research Aims: The applications of composite models in explaining the adoption of innovations continue to gain widespread recognition in contemporary research. This study examines the role of a composite model comprising innovation attributes, contingency factors, and isomorphic pressures in explaining the adoption of activity-based costing (ABC) in Tanzania. The examined causal relationship between the model and ABC adoption is subject to mediation by behavioral preferences. More importantly, this study evaluates the overall fit of the model based on confirmatory composite analysis (CCA) as a prerequisite for path analysis. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected from 188 manufacturing and service companies in Tanzania using a cross-sectional survey design. As part of CCA, the study employed principal component analysis (PCA) to form the three emergent variables namely innovation attributes, contingency factors and isomorphic pressures. It is these variables that were merged together to form the composite model whose influence on ABC adoption was analyzed based on partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Research Findings: It was found out that, it is only normative beliefs that positively mediated the causal - relationship between the composite model and ABC adoption. This suggests that, the combined influences of internal and external factors defined by innovation attributes, contingency factors and isomorphic pressures towards ABC adoption is mediated by the belief that manufacturing and service companies should adopt the system. On the other hand, the perceptions of the system’s usefulness and ease to use do not play role in explaining the combined influences of factors on ABC adoption. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: The findings are paramount in creating the reference base for future studies as there were no previous studies of similar nature conducted to assess the impact of the composite model on ABC adoption.

This study examines the effects of heightened awareness of circular economy (CE) principles on individuals' evaluations of sustainable development within Brazil's resource‐rich yet environmentally challenged context. Employing social learning theory (SLT) as our theoretical framework, we investigate how increased knowledge of CE influences individuals' cognitive perceptions, enhancing their understanding and favourable assessment of sustainable practices. Data were collected through a nationwide survey of the general public, incorporating five CE dimensions: waste management, rational use of resources, technical cycle, sustainable products/packaging and dematerialization/collaborative consumption. Our results reveal that a deeper awareness of CE significantly improves individuals' positive evaluations concerning the environment, future generations' survival, socio‐economic development and engagement between people and institutions in sustainable practices. These positive evaluations are indicative of a shift in perception that precedes and may catalyse sustainable behaviours, suggesting that cognitive engagement is a critical precursor to actionable change. The study confirms that SLT effectively elucidates the bidirectional and complex interaction between cognition and evaluation within environmental contexts, thereby enriching the understanding of how sustainable practices can be adopted and promoted. The implications of our research are profound, suggesting that educational and policy interventions aimed at increasing CE knowledge could substantially impact sustainable development outcomes.
