“…Doing good for others can also be motivated by human values. Benevolence, as a value, has implications for environmental behavior (Katz et al 2017). It is a form of kindness in social living.…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the motivational factors of collaborative consumption in the era of the sharing economy, as a part of consumers’ behavior by online media platforms. Collaborative consumption is about people’s willingness to share and to collaborate to meet certain needs. The study used the qualitative method with interviews for the data’s collection. The context of the study was using consumers who had experience of using Airbnb, Go-Jek, and selling their product via online media. Twenty-four respondents were obtained for the interviews. The length of each interview was approximately 1.5 hours. The analysis of this shifting consumption across its different facets provided an analysis of the motivational aspect of sharing resources, and the change in consumer consumption patterns. The motivational research examined the underlying reasons for consumers to act, and to undertake collaborative consumption; home sharing and selling second-hand goods were analyzed from the perspectives of their economic aspects, utility reasons, social orientation, emotional aspects, ecological aspects and personal values.

“…A number of researchers have found that environmental concern has a significant influence on travel mode decisions [54,55]. Numerous transportation factors influence environmental concern including apparent threats of environmental destruction to the society, individual, or the earth [56][57][58][59]; concerned responsibility or emotional state of guiltiness for the environmental problem; willingness in the reduction of car use for decreasing the environmental problem [60]; perceived benefits and barriers to sustainable travel behavior [61]. Therefore, based on the above literature, the proposed hypothesis can be as follows: Hypothesis 3.…”

Understanding Acceptability towards Sustainable Transportation Behavior: A Case Study of China

Nowadays, increased usage of motorized vehicles has become a cause of serious environmental and health problems which results in noise pollution, air pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases. Sustainable transportation options such as green public buses, subways and public cycling have been introduced to improve environmental quality. However, their adoption is still in the initial stage. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the consumer attitude towards sustainable transportation, and their willingness to choose different environmentally friendly options like cycling and public green transportation by applying a norm activation model (NAM). More specifically, this study explored the role of different predictors (sustainable transport benefits awareness, traffic problem awareness, government policies and symbolic motives of using a car) affecting citizen's acceptability to sustainable transportation options with mediating role of environmental concern and moderating role of self-transcendence and self-enhancement. A questionnaire-based survey conducted in four major metropolitan cities of China including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Xi'an found that acceptability towards sustainable transportation is derived from sustainable transport benefits awareness and traffic. Symbolic motives of the car have a negative association with acceptability towards sustainable transportation. The mediating effect of environmental concerns was proved, which extends the role of NAM in this study. Self-transcendence and self-enhancement have positive and negative moderating effects consecutively towards the acceptability of sustainable transportation. This study has potential implications for the government of China, transportation, and urban planning departments in order to take necessary measures to promote sustainable transportation behavior in Chinese citizens.

“…It has been argued that industry can achieve CE through five phases— take , make , distribute , use , and recover , that is, converting their linear business processes ( take , make , and distribute ) to circular (Prieto‐Sandoval, Jaca, & Ormazabal, ). CE is a concept widely studied in China and the European Union (EU), the adoption of the latter driven by legislation, but there is a big scope for analysis beyond those countries (Katz‐Gerro, Greenspan, Handy, & Lee, ; Zhu et al, ). Moreover, although there is research in larger organisations (Kumar, Sezersan, Garza‐Reyes, Gonzalez, & Al‐Shboul, ; Zhu et al, ), study on SMEs adoption of CE is scant.…”

Circular economy to enhance sustainability of small and medium‐sized enterprises

et al. 2020

The circular economy (CE) represents a major paradigm shift of moving from the concepts of linear to circular supply chains across multiple industries. Although some aspects of CE adoption within industrial supply chains have been researched extensively (particularly addressing challenges of design, implementation, and operations), the research that relates CE practices with sustainability performance to reveal the current state of CE practices within small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) is scant. The aim of this research was to facilitate SMEs to achieve greater sustainability through CE implementation. This research addresses three research questions—How are CE fields of action related to sustainability performance? What are the issues, challenges, and opportunities of adopting CE in SMEs? And what key strategies, resources, and competences facilitate effective implementation of CE in SMEs? This study adopts a mixed method approach (qualitative and quantitative) using survey research, focus group, and case studies; 130 randomly selected SMEs within the Midlands of the United Kingdom have been surveyed, and the responses are analysed using statistical tools along with findings from focus groups and case studies. The study reveals that all CE fields of action (take, make, distribute, use, and recover) of SMEs are correlated to economic performance, but only make and use are related to environmental and social performance. The study further derives strategies, resources, and competences for achieving sustainability across all the CE field of actions. Additionally, this research reveals the issues and challenges, strategies, resources, and competences required for implementing CE in SMEs.
