Item type:Publication, Structural Equation Modeling for Analyzing Pro-Environmental Behavior in Switzerland(MDPI AG, 2025-04-17); ; ; <jats:p>Using data from Round 11 of the European Social Survey, covering Switzerland, this article employs Structural Equation Modeling to investigate the associations between psychosocial factors and pro-environmental behavior. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, which integrates subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and attitudes to predict behavioral intentions and actual pro-environmental behaviors. The findings reveal that perceived social norms are strong predictors of pro-environmental behavioral intentions, illustrating the power of expectations from other people on the propensity to act sustainably. However, the effects of attitudes toward the environment and perceived behavioral control on behavioral intention were minimal or unobserved. It indicates that respondents may support environmental and sustainability issues, but this is often not matched by strong intentions to act. Additionally, the perceived control over pro-environmental behavior does not directly affect actual behavior. This suggests that external barriers may prevent individuals from performing sustainable behavior, even if they are motivated. The measurement invariance across gender groups was also examined in the study, which is essential to confirm the equivalence of measurements, and observed differences in latent variables could not be an artifact due to potential measurement bias. The findings suggest that subjective norms and pro-environmental behaviors are more likely to be higher among women, while men scored higher on perceived control. This indicates that women internalize social expectations stronger than men do to act, but for men, they feel able to act, but this confidence does not imply action. This research focuses on the significance of social influences in ecologically friendly action and on the discrepancies between intention and behavior. This study adds to our understanding of the determinants of pro-environmental behavior, providing relevant insights for policymakers to inform more effective interventions that close the gap between awareness and action.</jats:p>22 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Assertiveness as a Critical Factor for Organisational Adaptability in Service SMEs<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>To continue operating and seeking competitiveness in a complex and highly changing context, small- and medium-sized service companies (SMEs) depend heavily on their employees. Organisations must identify capabilities that allow them to respond quickly to environmental changes. This chapter empirically explores the impact of assertiveness on organisational adaptability (OA) and proposes a model with relationships oriented to foster adaptability, considering assertiveness as a relevant factor. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to express and test the model hypotheses. Data were collected from 200 SMEs. The results show a strong and significant association between assertiveness, people development and organisational adaptation, suggesting that decision-makers can promote OA. This work may enable academics and managers to improve communication and inter-organisational relationships, allowing them to focus their strategies and resources to increase managerial and adaptive capacity and enhance performance and innovation.</jats:p>8 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, An Organizational Framework for Microenterprises to Face Exogenous Shocks: A Viable System Approach(2024); <jats:p>This study examines how integrating the critical components of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) can improve the adaptability of microenterprises by applying the Viable System Model (VSM). Given the crucial role of microenterprises in job creation, entrepreneurship promotion, and social cohesion, the need for approaches that ensure their success in turbulent environments is highlighted. We applied Social Network Analysis (SNA) to analyze a co-occurrence network to identify critical EO factors relevant to microenterprises and to understand how authors relate them to the structure of the VSM using a Californian microenterprise as a conceptual model. These factors include innovation, autonomy, control implementation, market orientation, and change management, organized into the five functions of the VSM. The results suggest that this conceptual framework strengthens organizational responsiveness in disruptive environments, promoting internal cohesion and more informed decision-making. Although the specific characteristics of each microenterprise require adjusting the VSM to their particular needs, this study provides a solid basis for applying the key elements of EO in the VSM, underscoring the need for further research to adapt this approach to different contexts to improve organizational agility in the face of exogenous shocks.</jats:p>6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Analyzing AHP-based prioritization of strategic planning factors using social network analysisPurpose This study aims to analyze the underlying relational structure in the prioritization of factors that may influence strategic planning, to identify patterns that affect the achievement of consensus among organizational actors. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a multi-methodological approach, combining three techniques: 1) the analytic hierarchy process to prioritize factors that can improve strategic planning; 2) social network analysis to contrast its results and assess whether the relational structure affects consensus; 3) robust linear regression (HC3) to estimate the relationship between network structure and proximity to consensus. Findings The results suggest that the highest-priority factors for promoting sales improvement are commitment, plan development and organizational culture. In relational terms, the study observes that a relevant mechanism for consensus is homophily, governed by operational functions; that is, process improvements, such as sales, benefit those who perform similar tasks rather than heterogeneity. Research limitations/implications This work is limited to organizational aspects. The study was conducted in collaboration with a Mexican commercial company, in which 110 of 150 employees responded (3 executive managers, 8 managers and 99 operational staff), with an average of 5 years of experience. Although the data analyzed are individual judgments, the inference is at the organizational level, to understand the whole and its relationships with the parts. Practical implications This work can help academics and professionals allocate resources more effectively, adopt more equitable deliberation processes, and reduce the unintended dominance of any actor in organizational processes. Originality/value This work contrasts with previous research by proposing a systemic perspective to prioritize factors that can improve critical processes and to understand how group preferences are affected by the structural position of actors. Therefore, this study invites the adoption of methodological complementarity to improve group decision-making processes. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Systemic Design for Food Self-Sufficiency in Urban Areas(2020); ; Pedro Pablo Cardoso-Castro<jats:p>This article adopts a systemic approach to address the problem of the operationalization of relationships between actors conducive to food self-sufficiency in urban areas. Through the use of Social Network Analysis (SNA), the literature on urban agriculture was analyzed, detecting eight key trends and topic areas. This information was used to design a generic recursive organizational structure with the identification of the key roles and functions for management and governance in the multi-level and multi-stakeholder relationships of a sustainable urban self-sufficient food production system, inspired by the principles of complexity management and organizational cybernetics. Methodologically, this is the first application that combines the exploratory capability of SNA and the recursive structure of the Viable System Model (VSM) to propose applicable organizational structures in any urban area, suggesting a new route for the study and application of systemic thinking in the development of urban agriculture schemes. However, due to the conceptual nature of this work, this study opens a discussion on how we can rethink interactions to seek continuous adaptation in food self-sufficiency, provide tools that foster inclusion, and adapt to every context to support the relevant actors and academics in urban agriculture.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 19 1 7
