As a design methodology we involved 178 respondents at Starbucks outlets in Makassar City, Indonesia, with purposive random sampling. The analysis was conducted through a second-order analysis approach to test the variable constructs and through direct and indirect testing by involving attitude towards green marketing and brand integrity as intervening variables. The result of this study shows all items have a significant role in shaping the perceived of green marketing strategic orientation and green individuals feelings through the second-order analysis approach. Direct test showed a positive and significant effect except in the relationship between perceived of green promotion and innovation and brand integrity. Indirect test shows that the relationship between perceived of green marketing strategic orientation, perceived of green promotion and innovation, and purchase intention with attitude towards green marketing as an intervening variable is not significant. Similarly, the relationship between green individuals feelings, purchase intention, brand integrity, and perceived of green promotion and innovation as intervening variables is also not significant.","PeriodicalId":30298,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Management and Marketing","volume":" 45","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141675612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An online self-administered survey through social media was conducted, asking those who have participated in social media contests for the last six months. PLS-SEM analysis showed that the intention to participate in online social contests was primarily influenced by consumers' positive experiences, followed by brand identification and attitude. In addition, customer experience also significantly affects consumers’ perceived behavioral control. From this study, marketers could gain insights into designing online contests that would generate positive experiences with the contest and the company's products and services.","PeriodicalId":30298,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Management and Marketing","volume":" 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141674602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Respondents in this study were village heads, BUMDES managers, pokdarwis, customary chiefs, and the community, so the research sample totaled 250 people. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling model using WarpPLS 5.0. The research results show the transparency and accountability variables, have a positive and significant effect on sustainable ecotourism villages, while the responsibility variable shows different results. Likewise, the three dimensions of the village can moderate the effect of transparency and responsibility on sustainable ecotourism villages.

It necessitates establishing and administering policies to guide sustainable practices, ensuring adherence to the supply chain's environmental, social, and ethical standards. Effective governance aligns and supports business operations with sustainability goals, fostering transparency, accountability, and responsible practices. This framework guides decision-making, mitigates risks, and enhances overall supply chain resilience, contributing to a more sustainable and ethically responsible business landscape. The corporate shift towards sustainable supply chain management(SSCM) is manifested by the emerging literature documenting comprehensive changes in governance. A bibliometric-based systematic review of 128 Scopus-indexed documents (2014-2023) reveals four interconnected themes: SSCM, Sustainable Business & Operations Management, Global value chains, and Supply chain risk management. Analysis highlights the critical role of governance mechanisms in driving positive social, ecological, and economic outcomes. Governance achieves this by establishing clear policies and standards for social and environmental responsibility and ensuring robust mechanisms for compliance and accountability. Sustainable supply chain governance provides a blueprint for integrating sustainability. It ensures ongoing commitment and accountability, fostering significant and lasting positive effects on society, the environment, and overall supply chain resilience.","PeriodicalId":30298,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Management and Marketing","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140992193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
