“…While AEIs unequivocally facilitate the collection and flow of environmental information, we posit that, consistent with the Belief‐Action‐Outcome (BAO) framework developed in Melville (2010), AEIs play a key role in shaping the attitudes and beliefs of employees, managers, and the leadership about the importance of environmental sustainability and the impacts of the firm's operations on the natural environment. The BAO framework is founded on ideas and constructs from the field of sociology (Coleman, 1994; Hedström & Swedberg, 1998) and has since been embraced in other areas, including information systems (e.g., Gholami, Sulaiman, Ramayah, & Molla, 2013; Ojo, Raman, & Downe, 2019; Seidel, Recker, & Vom Brocke, 2013), social media (e.g., Tan & Vasa, 2011), and transportation systems (e.g., Jia, Cumbie, Sankar, & Yu, 2015). The BAO framework builds on a micro–macro relations model developed by Coleman (1986) that incorporates: (a) ( macro–micro ) beliefs of individuals (employees, managers, and the leadership) about the natural environment that are formed by organizational and social structures; (b) ( micro–micro ) the corresponding responsive actions of individuals relating to environmentally sustainable practices and processes; and, ultimately, (c) ( micro–macro ) environmental and financial outcomes.…”

This study contributes to a theoretical and empirical understanding of whether and how administrative environmental innovations (AEIs)-implemented to help track and manage a firm's environmental impacts-are related to environmental disclosure. Drawing on the Belief-Action-Outcome framework, we posit that the motivation of individuals (employees, managers, and the leadership) within the firm to access, use, and act on the environmental information available to them would be enhanced by the firm's implementation of AEIs, resulting in more extensive environmental disclosure by the firm. Additionally, building on the literature on supply chain networks, we posit that the structural position of the firm vis-à-vis its supply network-reflecting information flows, network learning, and status-moderates the AEI implementationenvironmental disclosure relationship. To test our hypotheses, we build a multi-industry dataset of 3,106 firm-year observations based on 67,809 dyadic cost-of-goods-sold-based relationships obtained from Bloomberg's supply chain relationships database to construct the supply networks of focal firms. We also draw on Bloomberg's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data for our AEI implementation and environmental disclosure measures. We find significant evidence to support our hypothesis that AEI implementation is positively associated with the extent of environmental disclosure. However, the implementation of both internal and external forms of AEIs has a more pronounced positive relationship with the extent of environmental disclosure, compared to the implementation of either form alone. With regard to supply network structure, we identify three principal variables-accessibility, control, and interconnectedness-that influence network learning and status of the focal firm and find that they moderate the AEI implementation-environmental disclosure relationship. We provide insights for theory and practice based on our findings.

“…Intentions show the "attitude-behavior relationship is the level of effort to exercise the behavior (Mishra et al, 2014). Existing environmental studies show inconclusive results in evaluating the human behavioral intentions to use green technology at the organization level (Molla & Abareshi, 2011Molla, Abareshi, & Cooper, 2014;Ojo et al, 2019Ojo et al, , 2018. Due to the diversity of results, attitudes and individual beliefs concerning environmental issues are often incongruent with intentions.…”

“…Development in technology provides numerous economic benefits in everyday life. However, it also harms the environment (Ojo, Raman, & Downe, 2019). Hence, everyone is concerned about the environmental issues, including emission of carbon, high energy consumption, and unnecessary usage of scarce resources (Hedwig, Malkowski, & Neumann, 2009;Perkins, Drisse, Nxele, & Sly, 2014).…”

“…However, in developing countries, the adoption of GT is at the infancy stage which is due to a lack of GT knowledge, lethargic attitude, irrelevant intentions to use GT, and practice gaps (Mishra et al, 2014;Ojo et al, 2019;Ojo, Raman, & Vijayakumar, 2018;Ramayah et al, 2010). Environmental orientation comprises three factors: attitude towards environmental concerns, cognitions that lead to an individual's behaviors or an organization to respond to environmental issues (Jenkin, Webster, & McShane, 2011).…”

“…Some researchers have evaluated the adoption of environmental technologies at the individual level by analyzing cognition and attitude. However, organization-level studies are scarce (Molla & Abareshi, 2011;Ojo et al, 2019). The researcher pursued the earlier mentioned gap and determined the elements that positively influence the intention to use green technology at the organization level.…”

Technology usage has increased enormously in recent decades by different organizations to meet the consumers' growing demands. Technology growth has contributed to high energy consumption and overutilization of natural resources, which caused environmental deterioration. The awareness of eco-efficiency and sustainable environment has accelerated worldwide. Industries in developed countries have implemented green technologies to meet their environmental objectives. Developing countries also follow the same footprints and endorse different organizations, including the banking sector, to adopt green technology. Therefore, the present study focused on analyzing the determinants that lead to the successful adoption of green technology in the Pakistani banking sector. A survey has conducted amongst branch managers working in Pakistani banks. Findings revealed that subjective norm, green technology belief, green technology knowledge, and green technology attitude plays a significant role in positively influencing the intentions towards the usage of green technology.

Escalating awareness of consumers on environmental issues have not translated into demand for green products in emerging economies, resulting in a rising need for further research on green purchasing behaviour. Considering this gap, the current study investigates the association of eco‐label and environmental knowledge with green purchase behaviour, and explores the mediating impact of environmental attitude and green trust. In addition, this study examines the moderating role of perceived price in influencing such behaviour. The proposed research model is empirically tested with data collected from 600 customers in India. The results indicate that eco‐label, environmental knowledge, green trust, and environmental attitude are significantly associated with green purchase behaviour. Further, environmental attitude does not mediate the association between eco‐label and green purchasing behaviour, while this link is partially mediated by green trust. In comparison, environmental attitude plays a partial mediating role between green trust and green purchasing behaviour. Moreover, perceived price moderates the relationship between environmental attitude and green purchase behaviour positively, while negatively moderates the relationship of green purchase behaviour with green trust. The findings help to draw significant implications for environmental and green marketers, along with a better knowledge of the complicated consumer behaviour associated with the purchase of green products, which will ultimately help them to develop more viable green marketing strategies in India. Overall, this research will enhance the green marketing literature by providing insights into how marketers and businesses can trigger the green purchasing by consumers in emerging market.
