Understanding the role of corporate social responsibility and sustainable supply chain management in shaping the consumers’ intention to use sharing platforms

Abstract

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) in sharing economy platforms supports resource management and achieves environmental sustainability. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an essential pillar of sustainability, but the link between CSR and SSCM has been missing in the literature. Therefore, the current study intends to examine the connection between CSR and SSCM practices in sharing economy-based platforms. This study has applied the means-end theory to understand customer intention in the sharing economy. The data of 379 respondents from five main cities of Pakistan have been collected through convenience sampling. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has been used to test the proposed conceptual model. The study results show that the corporate social responsibility approach adopted by the sharing economy platforms improves internal supply chain management that drives customers’ intention to use sharing economy platforms. Green concern has a significant moderating effect on customers’ tendency toward environmental issues and solutions. However, findings revealed that eco-design in the sustainable supply chain does not affect customer purchase intention in sharing economy platforms. The study findings provide practical implications to organizations focusing on sustainable supply chain management practices in the sharing economy.

What drives attitude, purchase intention and consumer buying behavior toward organic food? A self-determination theory and theory of planned behavior perspective

“…In an attempt to understand the underlying factors that may lead to the consumption of environmental-friendly products, researchers highlight that the psychographic traits of consumers might be responsible for an impact on their pro-environmental buying behavior (Sahelices-Pinto et al, 2021;Li et al, 2022). Therefore, an extended model of TPB with the integration of motivational factors taken from SDT has been utilized to conduct a comprehensive study in the context of the emerging economy.…”

Understanding the nexus among big data analytics capabilities, green dynamic capabilities, supply chain agility and green competitive advantage: the moderating effect of supply chain innovativeness

“…Past studies demonstrate that companies possessing GDC are more aptly equipped to fulfill the consumers' desire for sustainable products and adhere to stringent environmental regulations (Demirel and Kesidou, 2019). Businesses can foster their competitive edge by adopting GDC and projecting a favorable image of environmental responsibility, thereby attracting eco-conscious consumers (Sarwar et al, 2023;Li et al, 2022).…”

Values and information publicity shape tourists' intentions to visit green hotels: an application of the extended value-belief norms theory

“…Past studies have found that exposure to information about environmental issues and the impacts of human actions can lead to increased ENB and behaviors (Shah et al, 2021;Han and Xu, 2020;Huang, 2016). IP is a crucial factor that contributes to individual awareness of environmental issues (Li et al, 2023). Researchers found that IP have significant influence pro-environmental behavior and PN of individual regarding e-waste recycling (Wang et al, 2022) and waste sorting intention (Li et al, 2023).…”

“…However, researchers did not pay much attention on the relationship between IP, ENB and PN, which in turn lead to visiting green hotels. A recent study conducted by Li et al (2023) revealed the significant impact of IP on individual proenvironmental behavior. The authors emphasize the importance of examining the influence of IP in specific areas that shape individual pro-environmental behavior.…”
