“…In the study of social cognition theory and rational behavior theory, Sultan et al [31] have provided evidence that the stronger the willingness of people to engage in certain behaviors, the more likely they are to actually perform such behaviors. Sustainable behavior is driven by intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, as stated by Bopp et al [32]. The results of Zhu et al's [33] research show that, although different types of motivation have different effects on different types of creativity, intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation do have positive effects on creativity.…”

In recent years, the safety issue of construction workers has become a research hotspot, and many researchers have achieved results in the impact of safety behavior regarding China’s construction industry. However, the existing research about the driving factors of safety citizenship behavior is insufficient. To fill this gap, this paper explores the driving factor of safety citizenship behavior from the perspective of social capital theory. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey, involving 311 Chinese construction workers, was conducted to verify the influence of Social Safety Capital on Safety Citizenship Behavior. The results showed that safety citizenship behavior made by workers was significantly related to social safety capital. Autonomous safety motivation mediated the relationships between social safety capital and safety citizenship behavior. Further, this research supports the differences between social safety capital and autonomous safety motivation. Specifically, the paper found that social safety capital had the largest regression coefficient for participation of suggestion-making, and autonomous safety motivation had the largest regression coefficient for the relationship between superior and subordinate by multiple regression analysis.

“…To reverse the trend of environmental damages caused by conventional farming, we must implement principles of sustainability to increase crop yield, improve resource efficiency, conserve energy, and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions through all aspects of the food system. These principles are incorporated into Sustainable Agricultural Practices (SAP) that include farming activities that have environmental, societal, and economic dimensions, such as conservation tillage, crop diversification, composting, biological control, improved varieties (crop/animal), agroforestry, local seed conservation, rainfall harvesting, area enclosure, animal manure, water conservation, organic fertilizer, improved fallow management, forage management, and soil and water conservation (Bopp et al 2019).…”

“…More recently, research on the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices has started incorporating social psychological approaches, which allows for a more comprehensive explanation of technology implementation (Meijer et al 2015). These novel approaches offer additional entry points for strengthening current policy programs, supporting sustainable agriculture, and proposing new ones (Bopp et al 2019).…”

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations defines a food system as the entire range of stakeholders and their interlinked valueadding activities involved in the production, distribution and aggregation, processing, marketing, consumption and waste management of food products that originate from agriculture, forestry, and parts of the broader economic, societal and natural environments in which they are embedded (Take and Systems 2015). To be considered sustainable, a food system must deliver food security and nutrition for all in such a way that the economic, social, and environmental bases to generate food security and nutrition for future generations are not compromised (Bassarab et al. 2019; FAO 2017; FAO et al. 2018). A sustainable food system lies at the heart of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“…Other recent literature on innovation implies production modernization [27], formation of networks [28] and adoption of new sustainable agriculture practices by farmers as part of innovation [4]. Bopp et al (2019), in their study, showed how the farmers were intrinsically and extrinsically (through economic incentives) motivated to promote the use of sustainable agricultural practices administered by the Chilean Ministry of Agriculture and concluded that the interaction between the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation significantly predicted the adoption of these practices. These types of initiatives to support innovation commonly focus their activity on promoting and developing organizations as pathways to bring social change in a community.…”

“…Complexity in rural territories and agricultural settings involves multi-dimensional problems such as unsustainable land management that creates a wide array of effects ranging from environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss or soil depletion [1][2][3], to social issues that investigates on farmer's motivation and behavior to promote sustainable agriculture practices [4]. Researchers and practitioners have developed frameworks and methods to evaluate the complexity of the sustainability of agricultural systems [2,[5][6][7].…”

Enhancing Rural Innovation and Sustainability Through Impact Assessment: A Review of Methods and Tools

Assessing impacts in innovation contexts/settings with the aim of fostering sustainability requires tackling complex issues. Literature shows that key sources of this complexity relate to the need to integrate the local context; identify the underlying problems; engage key stakeholders; and reflect on their feedback throughout the innovation process. A systematic literature review on innovation impact assessment reveals that social impacts have been the most studied, thus, where promising methods and tools were used. Nevertheless, there are many unresolved issues beyond assessing social impacts in innovation processes. Literature highlights that building on co-creating innovation processes that respond to stakeholders’ real needs and context, and adapting to changing circumstances by integrating timely feedback from stakeholders are two critical challenges calling for a systems thinking approach. This study proposes Developmental Evaluation (DE) as a systemic approach to evaluation which supports adaptive development in complex environments and that adds value by integrating continuous feedback from diverse stakeholders. As a non-prescriptive evaluation approach in terms of methods and tools, DE can provide meaningful guidance to use diverse methods and tools in furthering ongoing development and adaptation in innovation processes by linking the evaluation activities—impact assessment among them—with the DE principles that are situational, adaptive and continuously responsive.
