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, 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, 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, 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 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Operational Efficiency of Mexican Water Utilities: Results of a Double-Bootstrap Data Envelopment Analysis(2020); ; <jats:p>The objective of this paper is to estimate the operational efficiency of Mexican water utilities and identify the context variables that impact their efficiency. In particular, a bootstrap data envelopment analysis (DEA) and a bootstrap truncated regression analysis are combined in a two-stage research method. In the first stage, an input-oriented DEA model is used to determine bootstrap efficiency scores. Then, the corrected distribution function of the efficiency scores is used to estimate a truncated regression which is aimed to identify the significant influential context variables. Three categorical and two continuous context variables are considered in the analysis. Results show that only one context variable has a significant impact on the water utilities efficiency scores. Managerial recommendations are drawn from the analysis. It is suggested that water utilities continue or implement wastewater treatment, persist in decreasing and controlling leakage across the distribution network, and maximizing sewer coverage.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 26 2 2
