“…The next direction pertains to customers' shopping motivations, such as emotions, which play a pivotal role in shaping marketing and retail strategies (Mookherjee et al, 2021). Positive emotions, such as attitudes and trust, have been demonstrated to profoundly impact purchasing behaviour, retailer loyalty, and the formation of word-of-mouth (Liu et al, 2023;Wang et al, 2022). However, the emotional factors vary across different countries and segments (Hossain, 2023).…”

PurposeThis study aims to embark on a bibliometric journey through the International Journal of Retail & Distribution Management (IJR&DM) to delve into its rich repository of applied retailing research.Design/methodology/approach626 publications in IJR&DM between 2015 and 2023 have been retrieved from Scopus for performance analysis of the journal’s publication (productivity) and citation (impact) trends as well as a science mapping of the journal’s collaborators (contributors) and major themes (contributions).FindingsThe performance analysis highlights the growth in the productivity and impact of IJR&DM alongside its most cited publications, most prolific contributors, most relied-on journals, as well as the authors, institutions, countries, and journals that the journal has impacted the most. The co-authorship analysis reveals the collaboration (i.e., international with a high concentration in Europe and North America along with an emerging presence in Asia) of IJR&DM. Keyword co-occurrence analysis and bibliographic coupling reveal eight themes. Our exploration revealed close interconnections among various domains including retailing and adaptive strategies, channel strategies, customer experience, market innovations, operations management, relationship marketing, shopping motivation, and sustainability.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough this study delivers a state-of-the-art overview of the retail industry through the scientific contributions from IJR&DM, it remains limited to the insights from a single authoritative source of knowledge on retailing.Originality/valueNo review, to date, has been conducted for IJR&DM. This study provides the inaugural retrospective of the scientific contributions of IJR&DM, outlining publication and citation trends alongside the intellectual structure of its body of knowledge on retailing. Theoretically, this retrospective is pivotal in charting the intellectual growth and thematic nuances inherent in retail research. Practically, this study serves as a guide for practitioners, enabling them to make strategically informed decisions and craft forward-looking strategies in sync with current realities.

“…(1) Environmental information disclosure about origin (EI): Based on the findings of Fu et al [16] and Liu et al [17], three metrics were utilized for the assessment: "Merchants provide the environmental information regarding the origin of green agricultural products on the e-commerce platform", "merchants provide the authentic information of the origin environment of green agricultural products on the e-commerce platform", and "the origin environmental information of green agricultural products provided by merchants on different platforms is basically the same".…”

“…Duan et al [15] proposed that the disclosure of environmental information serves as a governance mechanism to mitigate the information asymmetry in green markets. Disclosing information regarding the sources of irrigation water, soil, and the production of green food can positively influence consumers' competence trust [16,17]. Moreover, competence trust and benevolence trust are found to consumers' purchasing behavior [18].…”

Investigating the correlation between information disclosure and consumers’ purchasing decisions is crucial for comprehending consumer behavior mechanisms and stimulating their buying behavior. Drawing upon signaling theory and the “stimulus-organism-response” (S-O-R) model, this research leverages questionnaire responses from 338 consumers. It utilizes Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate the influence and fundamental mechanisms of environmental information disclosure, consumer trust (competence, benevolence, and integrity), and online purchase intention of green agricultural products. The antecedents required for online purchase intention are identified through the Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA). This research shows that the disclosure of environmental information regarding the origins of green agricultural products positively impacts the purchase intention, with competence trust and benevolence trust being identified as playing intermediary roles in this relationship, while integrity trust does not play a significant mediating role. The disclosure of environmental information about a product’s origin is a necessary condition influencing consumers’ purchasing decisions. Merchants are encouraged to proactively disclose more environmental information regarding green agricultural products and advised to focus on maintaining competence trust and benevolence trust to enhance consumers’ purchase intentions, thereby fostering the advancement of green consumption.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought global poverty to the forefront, and existing research suggests that socially responsible supply chains play an important role in poverty alleviation. However, there is limited research on how to improve the performance of socially responsible supply chains. This study innovatively chooses a dual perspective, i.e., companies and farmers in contract farming, the dominant model of socially responsible supply chains in Chinese agriculture, as the research object. Furthermore, it examines the role of social capital on the performance of socially responsible supply chains, as well as the moderating role of supply chain transparency, in order to find out how to improve the stakeholder performance. The empirical results found that the factors affecting socially responsible supply chain performance differed between the dual perspectives. From the firm’s perspective, all three dimensions of social capital (shared values, communication and reciprocity) have a significant positive effect on socially responsible supply chain performance (income increase), while supply chain transparency only positively moderates between communication and income increase. From the farmers’ perspective, only reciprocity and shared values had a significant positive effect on income increase; interestingly, supply chain transparency negatively moderated the relationship between reciprocity and income increase. This study expands the role of social capital theory, and the dual perspective examination provides insights for performance improvement of companies and farmers in socially responsible supply chains, as well as guidance for promoting sustainable social development.
