“…SEM is an advanced level technique for data analysis to evaluate complex models, as is the case with the current research study. Further, SEM analysis is a co-variance-based analysis approach that is very popular among contemporary researchers [ 97 , 98 , 99 ], due to its advanced level features when compared to the conventional regression-based technique of data analysis. The authors in this connection performed SEM analysis in two stages.…”

Organizational crisis can serve as a base to provide an opportunity to an organization for enhancing individuals, organizations, and communities. The healthcare sector is one of those sectors that remains under continuous pressure to provide high-quality service delivery to the patients. Hence, the requirement of innovation for this sector is huge when compared to other sectors. The majority of the previous studies have investigated the phenomenon of CSR at the employee’s level (CSR-E) to influence employee behavior positively. However, the importance of CSR-E to enhance the innovative capability of the employees at the workplace is not well-explored in extant literature. Moreover, it is not clear from previous studies how the concept of servant leadership can explain the employee’s engagement towards innovative work behavior (EIB). Thus, the current survey aims to test the relationship of CSR-E and EIB in the healthcare sector of Pakistan with the mediating effect of servant leadership. The data of the current study were obtained through a self-administered (paper-pencil) survey and they were analyzed through the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. The empirical results of SEM analysis revealed that CSR-E and EIB are positively related and servant leadership partially mediates this relationship. The findings of the current study will be helpful for policymakers to improve their understanding towards CSR-E to induce EIB in the time of crisis. At the same time, the current study also highlights the importance of servant leadership to the policymakers in encouraging the employees to display their innovative capability at the workplace to serve their organization during the time of crisis.

“…PLS-SEM is complemented with a necessary condition analysis (NCA) (Dul 2016a) to gain further insights into the potential necessity of factors. To combine both approaches, we draw on the procedure recently suggested in the PLS literature and use latent variable scores as input for NCA (Richter et al 2020).…”

Above and beyond meat: the role of consumers’ dietary behavior for the purchase of plant-based food substitutes

Shrinking meat intake levels and simultaneously increasing consumption of plant-based products among consumers suggest that consumers’ dietary behavior implies the purchase of plant-based food substitutes. We contribute to the literature by investigating the most important determinants of consumers’ dietary behavior and attitude towards plant-based food substitutes and whether consumers’ dietary behavior is of relevance for the attitude towards plant-based food substitutes. Data of 1,363 consumers was used for structural equation modeling as well as necessary condition analysis. Consumers’ dietary behavior is found to play only a minor role in attitude formation towards plant-based food substitutes. Dietary behavior is primarily influenced by animal welfare concerns. We did not find environmental concerns, consumers’ perceived effectiveness, and health consciousness to influence dietary behavior. However, as consumers associate a high standard of animal welfare with healthiness and food safety, following a plant-based diet due to animal welfare concerns might be an altruistic pretext for health consciousness as an egoistic motive.

“…The model created in this way should certainly enable the simultaneous assessment of the direct or indirect effects of both necessary and sufficient conditions, that is, factors for sustainable investments, using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling logic (PLS-SEM) [67][68][69]. Finally, the idea of the combined use of PLS-SEM and NCA as a tool, which should enable researchers to explore and validate hypotheses following a sufficiency logic, as well as hypotheses drawing on a necessity logic [70] would give a new contribution to the theory and practice of sustainable investments in recycling.…”

Modern consumer society uses an increasing number of products to meet its needs, which become waste after use, thus posing a serious problem that threatens sustainable development. Investment in waste recycling, due to a high level of non-financial benefits, is considered sustainable, especially in the End-of-life Vehicles (ELV) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recycling areas. The research objective of this paper is to test the sensitivity of the model for sustainable management of recycling projects by applying a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to investment projects of car and refrigerator recycling in the Republic of Serbia. By testing the key risk factors of the above investment projects within the sensitivity analysis, the main aim is to determine the critical value of these variables in terms of the financial and social acceptability of these investment alternatives. The results obtained indicate that state subsidies have the greatest influence on defining the model of sustainable investment, especially in the field of e-waste recycling. The impact of other factors, the price of secondary raw materials and the social cost of CO2 emissions, is significantly smaller, but should certainly be taken into account when defining the optimal model of sustainable investment.
