Embedded Philanthropic CSR in Digital China: Unified View of Prosocial and Pro-environmental Practices.

In recent decades, China has transformed from a conventional society into a digitally competitive nation. From an economic perspective, embedded corporate social responsibility (CSR) is gaining a new height where gamified charity is a trendy approach. By adopting the norm activation model from the point of view of the stimulus-organism-response framework, this research theoretically conceptualized the role of the mobile application environment (including telepresence, functional transparency, and accessibility) to map the cognition and philanthropic behavioral intentions of consumers in the gamified setting.

Health concerns among waste collectors during pandemic crisis.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the economic, social, and psychological aspects globally. COVID-19 can possibly spread through municipal solid waste (MSW) if it is collected, bagged, transported, and disposed inappropriately. Such situation has posed significant challenges to MSW management (MSWM), which has led waste personnel under massive pressure.

What Explains Natives and Sojourners Preventive Health Behavior in a Pandemic: Role of Media and Scientific Self-Efficacy.

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a severe global public health emergency. The current research investigated and compared "Natives and Sojourners" health-protective behavior in Mainland China during the pandemic. We adopted a unified view to propose our theoretical model by adapting the Health Belief Model (HBM) and Institutional Theory (IT).

Environmental concerns and switching toward electric vehicles: geographic and institutional perspectives.

Smog pollution deteriorates environmental quality and has severe health risks. This affects the daily lives of people in China, particularly in urban areas. Along with other factors, a large portion for smog comes from transportations, making it dense and more hazardous in urban areas.

China's green future and household solid waste: Challenges and prospects.

China is facing the dual challenge of economic development and environment protection. Recently, Shanghai (tier-1 city) implemented the pilot project of household solid waste (HSW) management and expects to execute a similar project in 45 cities across China by 2020. The current research's aim is to examine the pilot project's progress by comparing it with existing HSW management practice in other cities.

Entrepreneurs and Environmental Sustainability in the Digital Era: Regional and Institutional Perspectives.

Climate change and environmental degradation have negatively affected the sustainable development of mankind. The "green" concept has been gradually accepted by the public, thereby strongly promoting "green" business forms and social innovation. This study adopts related information and technology knowledge and experience and warm glow (altruistic value) for business initiatives as push factors, market opportunity (MO) and personal innovativeness (PI) in technology as pull factors, and institutional theory (regulatory support and normative support) as mooring factors.

Short stay, long impact: ecological footprints of sojourners.

The study proposes an empirical model (based on stimulus-organism-response as conceptual framework) to analyse sojourners' intention to adopt green practices (i.e., electronic consumption behaviour).

GMO/GMF on Social Media in China: Jagged Landscape of Information Seeking and Sharing Behavior through a Valence View.

The study examines the critical factors affecting Chinese social media (SM) users' intentions and behavior to seek and share information on genetically modified organisms/ genetically modified food (GMO/GMF). The proposed framework was conceptualized through benefit-risk analysis and subsequently mapped SM users' perceived benefits and risks to seeks and share information using Kurt Lewin's valence view. Quantitative data was collected using survey questionnaires administered from 583 SM users.

Climate change communication as political agenda and voters' behavior.

"Climate change communication" is taking the strategic position in the international and national politics around the globe. In the recent decade, different developing nations have started considering "climate change communication" as an integral part of the political campaigns and sustainable development.
