“…In the process of realizing their environmental value, enterprises need to allocate funds reasonably on the basis of maintaining sustainable operation. In terms of factors influencing corporate environmental investment, previous studies have involved corresponding research on government policies and regulations [ 6 , 7 , 8 ], public pressure [ 9 , 10 ], religious belief [ 11 ], corporate characteristics [ 12 , 13 ], and managerial behavior [ 14 , 15 ]. However, we still know very little about whether and how entrepreneurs’ military experience affects corporate environmental investment.…”

Although it is well established that the military experience of top executives has a profound influence on firms’ decisions, empirical evidence on how military experience matters to corporate environmental investment has been scarce. Drawn on imprinting theory and upper echelon theory, this study examines the impact of entrepreneurs’ military experience on corporate environmental investment. Using a nationwide survey of Chinese private firms, we find that entrepreneurs’ military experience significantly promotes corporate environmental investment. Further, the positive effect is more pronounced for firms with entrepreneurs who have experienced a wartime atmosphere and those located in regions with more minor public environmental concerns. Our study extends the literature on the determinants of corporate environmental investment and the economic consequences of individual military experience. Moreover, this also provides practical insights for policymakers on how to implement environmental governance and promote ecological construction.

“…On the other hand, peer enterprises gain more support from stakeholders and rare resources through PES, which makes executives realize that environmental institutional isomorphism can bring resources and opportunities, resulting in the implementation of proactive practices to improve environmental protection benefits (J. Dai et al, 2017; Zhu & Sarkis, 2007). And further studies indicate that top managers are more likely to be influenced by the successful experience of other enterprises in pursuit of potential market opportunities (Ji et al, 2012; T. Liu et al, 2019; Nadkarni & Barr, 2008). Hence, we propose thatHypothesis Competitor pressure has a positive effect on PES via top managerial environment attitude.…”

Proactive environmental strategy (PES) is regarded as an effective tool to mitigate and root out the negative effects of an enterprise's development on the environment. Although institutional pressures have been viewed as major factors that can promote enterprises' PES, the results are still inconsistent. This mixed empirical result leads to a need to unpack the relationship between institutional pressures and PES, like the certain key mediating role of top managerial environment attitude. In addition, with the important role of new media in an enterprise's strategy, new media pressure plays a significant role in the PES field to induce enterprises to make a strategy change. Therefore, combining institutional theory and upper echelon theory, this paper explores the mediating roles of top managerial environment attitude between institutional pressures and PES, and the moderating roles of new media pressure, from a new media perspective. Our research model was tested by survey data from 345 top Chinese managers, and several results are established. First, the top managerial environment attitude significantly mediates the relationship between three institutional pressures and PES. Second, among the three institutional pressures, customer pressure is the most powerful one to influence the top managerial environment attitude toward PES. Third, new media pressure promotes and suppresses the positive effect between customer pressure, competitor pressure, and top managerial environment attitude. To promote the adoption of PES, it is important for top managers and governments to pay close attention to customer, regulatory, and competitor pressures, particularly when these pressures are amplified by new media.

“…Further, Excessive job involvement as a result of the requirement for compulsory citizenship causes work-family conflict (Neves and Andrade, 2021). Likewise, employees seek benefits in return for their extra role at the workplace (Liu et al, 2019), and if there is no reward for their extra duties, then it can become the reason for negative behaviors. In the same manner, OCB creates stress for employees and causes work-life conflict.…”

Purpose Recently, a shift regarding the negative consequences of organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) has put them forward as employees’ negative aspects carrying dangerous consequences for organizations. Considering this issue’s seriousness, the purpose of this paper is to examine the process through which compulsory citizenship behavior fosters citizenship fatigue. Design/methodology/approach A total of 370 nurses working in Pakistani public-sector hospitals were this study’s final data set sample using SmartPLS4. Findings Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) results revealed that when employees are compelled to engage in extra-role actions, they frequently experience work-life conflict, which results in citizenship fatigue. The higher the employee’s age and the lower the education level, the lower his/her citizenship fatigue. On the other hand, findings revealed that workaholic personality aspects tend to reduce the strength of the relationship between work-life conflict and citizenship fatigue. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first attempt to examine the recently emerged concept of citizenship fatigue among health-care professionals through conservation of resources theory. Besides, this research will highlight how the demand for voluntary actions in routine or forced citizenship behavior can become the reason for work–family conflict and ultimately create citizenship fatigue. Additionally, this paper presents the novel concept of workaholic personality and how it can play a positive role in the linkage between work–family conflict and citizenship fatigue.
