“…Regarding social desirability bias, first, the survey was completely anonymous so that respondents could express their innermost thoughts, and we made it clear at the outset that their personal information would not be compromised to avoid social desirability bias (Konrad and Linnehan, 1995 ; Wei, 2021 ). Second, according to previous research (Park et al, 2019 ), all scales in our study were derived from high-quality studies to mitigate the social desirability bias. Third, regarding pro-environmental behavior, previous studies have indicated that the social desirability bias does not play a significant role (Kaiser, 1998 ; Milfont, 2009 ).…”

Although extensive research has been conducted on promoting pro-environmental behaviors among consumers, little is known about whether and how negative anthropomorphic message framing (NAMF) and nostalgia affect pro-environmental behavior. To provide a framework for explaining pro-environmental behavior, this study integrates protection motivation theory, the stimulus-organism-response model, and message framing. To create the model of the influences on pro-environmental behavior, NAMF was employed as the external stimulus; the sense of environmental responsibility, environmental empathy, perceived threat, and perceived vulnerability as the psychological and cognitive response factors; pro-environmental behavior as the final decision of consumers; and nostalgia as the moderating variable. An online questionnaire was distributed and 380 usable questionnaires were collected using convenience sampling and analyzed using two complementary approaches: partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and necessary condition analysis (NCA). PLS-SEM results showed that pro-environmental behavior was significantly affected by NAMF (β = 0.313, t-value = 5.583), environmental responsibility (β = 0.207, t-value = 3.994), and perceived threats (β = 0.252, t-value = 4.889). Meanwhile, an increase in nostalgia increased the effect of NAMF and environmental responsibility on pro-environmental behavior. The NCA results revealed that NAMF (d = 0.108, p < 0.001) and perceived threat (d = 0.209, p < 0.001) were key factors of pro-environmental behavior. In addition, for high level of pro-environmental behavior (>80%), NAMF (12.1%) and perceived threat (39.6%) are required. Finally, we offer several suggestions based on the results of our empirical research. For example, marketing and service offerings should be tailored to the needs of masses with different nostalgic tendencies to enhance their pro-environmental behaviors.

In the pursuit of innovation, the critical role of deliberate practice in enhancing employee creative behavior is examined, considering the influences of harmonious entrepreneurial passion and the importance employees perceive in innovation within their organizations. This investigation, grounded in self‐determination theory (SDT) and social cognitive theory, proposes a model where deliberate practice impacts employee creative behavior through the mediating effect of harmonious entrepreneurial passion and is further amplified by the level of perceived innovation importance. The study uses a multisource, three‐wave data collection technique to gather data from employees working in software houses in Pakistan. The study utilizes SmartPLS (v 4.0) to assess the measurement and structural models. The findings reveal that deliberate practice has a significant positive impact on employee creative behavior. Besides, harmonious entrepreneurial passion mediates the link between deliberate practice and employee creative behavior. In addition, the results confirm the interaction effect of perceived innovation importance. The positive influence of deliberate practice on employee creative behavior through the mediating role of harmonious entrepreneurial passion is more potent at higher levels of perceived innovation importance. The study presents several important theoretical and practical implications.

Why do wantrepreneurs fail to take actions? Moderators of the link between intentions and entrepreneurial actions at the early stage of venturing

Thriving entrepreneurship is a necessary condition of long-term sustainability in all modern economies. However, many entrepreneurs-to-be fail to take real actions in their transition from dreamers to doers. In this paper, we demonstrate that there are significant gaps in the current understanding of the important pre-entrepreneurship stages of starting new companies. In particular, these gaps include a proper understanding of moderators such as procrastination, commitment, and acquiring entrepreneurial knowledge from informal and unstructured sources. A promising way to fill these gaps is researching a promising yet little-known group – wantrepreneurs. Our qualitative study of a group of wantrepreneurs who seriously consider becoming entrepreneurs but fail to take any concrete steps allowed us to propose a number of hypotheses in this area and propose an extension of the Entrepreneurial Event Model.
