“…[ 27 ]. In the field of education, people may intervene as a social group to promote management and/or Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), given that social norms shape people’s behaviour [ 28 ]. For instance, public institutions may be able to promote the social development of environmentally friendly competencies and actions through educational policies [ 29 , 30 ] within the context of government policies [ 31 , 32 ].…”

In the search for sustainable development, in which the ecological footprint is carefully considered by consumers and companies, teachers play an important role within a social and economic framework. This role relates to aspects of social responsibility. It should involve knowledge about education for responsible consumption in order to care for the environment both individually and socially. Considering this, the aim of this study is to find out whether there are differences in the level of awareness and the habits of future teachers of Early Childhood and Primary Education regarding sustainable social responsibility. A non-probabilistic sample of 30 Early Childhood Education degree students and 22 Primary Education degree students was used. Semi-structured interviews and an inductive process were conducted to examine the importance of Sustainable Development in society, the relevance of Social Responsibility for Sustainable Development (individual versus corporate), the attitudes and habits relative to Sustainable Development and the education on Sustainable Development in schools: knowledge, attitudes, and proposals. Students agree that they consume excessively. This is everyone’s individual responsibility (as regarded by all participants), although changes could be supported by institutions and companies (Early Childhood education students argue in favour of corporate responsibility). Knowledge deficits were identified in relation to production, distribution, and sale processes. They consider education to be the main factor for sustainability, while society is ranked as the least important, observing an evident disagreement in relation to environmental and economic factors (perception of collective responsibility; Early Childhood versus Primary Education students). Finally, they also outline teaching proposals (active and participatory) to foster education for sustainable development at schools.

“…Namkung and Jang () and Golob et al () noticed, that as a consequence of the growing social cultural shift towards health and wellness products and services, the sustainability‐related practices in the tourism sector, particularly in green hotels, are actually in great demand with the expectation of positive growth in the future. Hence, in the present study, we strive to provide hotel managers with more knowledge by reporting on knowledge based on customer CSR awareness, CSR perception, HI, and RBI.…”

The aim of the study is mainly to investigate the influence of hotel customers' perception and awareness of corporate social responsibility (CSR) concerning the environmental practices of hotels on the image of the establishments and on repeat behaviour intention (RBI) by said customers. Accordingly, a research model is established which allows an understanding of the underlying mechanism of perceived CSR practices, CSR awareness, hotel image and RBI. The growing interest shown by practitioners to understand the mechanism to achieve sustainable competitive advantage for hotels through their environmental policies and the scarce number of studies analysing customer CSR awareness and its influence on customer green hotels' engagement justify this study. Hence, the study strives to overcome this gap in the CSR literature. Data were collected from hotel guests who have stayed at green hotels in Spain over the last 12 months. The research model was estimated using a variance-based structural equation modelling approach. The findings achieved and future research avenues derived from the study are of great value for both theorists and managers to achieve a sustainable development. The research model proposed can be applied to other tourist agents other than hotels and provide valuable knowledge for practitioners to understand to what extent their managerial CSR practices and their effort to communicate them are perceived by their stakeholders, which in turn influence the stakeholder engagments with those agents with a greater commitment to the environment.

“…In terms of buying behavior, the conceptualizations of SRCB emphasize that it is not limited to individual acts of purchasing, but extends to an overall way of thinking (Villa Castano et al, 2016) that is guided by the desire to make a difference and engender change (Shaw & Clarke, 1999;Webster, 1975) and is based on a set of espoused prosocial values and moral standards (Golob et al, 2019;Vitell, 2015).…”

Socially responsible consumption in Russia: Testing the theory of planned behavior and the moderating role of trust

This paper adopts a multilevel approach to explore how socially responsible consumer behavior (SRCB) is shaped by a combination of micro-level psychological drivers and specifics of the institutional context in which the behavior is performed. The model first applies the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to test the effects of TPB-based behavioral predictors on the SRCB. Broad-scope trust in business (BST) is then applied to the model as a variable that characterizes quality of an informal institutional environment, hypothesizing that BST moderates the relationship between TPB-based behavioral antecedents and SRCB. The paper is based on a survey of 466 Russian consumers. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires completed by students and alumni of a large public university in Moscow. Results show that BST moderates the effects of TPB-based predictors on SRCB. This implies that consumers who believe that the business is overall trustworthy are more likely to take company's corporate social responsibility (CSR) into account when making purchasing decisions. This study contributes to the multilevel research on SRCB and CSR and adds to the literature on public trust in business as a nascent area of study. Its findings are especially relevant for companies operating in low-trust environments, including postsocialist economies.
