This study tested a moderated serial mediation model to examine the relationships between personality traits and individuals’ willingness to pursue social entrepreneurship. A total of 818 participants from Sweden, the US, South Africa, and Israel completed an online survey. We examined a moderated serial mediation model in which entrepreneurial self-efficacy and concern for societal issues served as sequential mediators, and communal values functioned as a moderator. Drawing on person–environment (P-E) fit theory, we found that proactive personality enhances entrepreneurial self-efficacy, particularly among individuals with strong communal values. In turn, self-efficacy predicted concern for societal issues, which fostered social entrepreneurial intent. These findings advance the understanding of the underlying motivational processes that drive social entrepreneurial intent by illustrating how the alignment between personal agency and communal values cultivates a psychological mindset favorable to social ventures. The serial mediation pathway highlights the significance of self-efficacy as a cognitive appraisal that not only builds confidence in one's ability to drive change but also promotes a willingness to address social problems. These findings contribute to P-E fit theory and provide actionable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to foster social innovation through targeted motivational interventions.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":35064,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Organizational Excellence","volume":"45 6","pages":"593-611"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148695902","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}

Impulsive buying is a prevalent consumer behavior in the live streaming domain of e-commerce, yet empirical research on this phenomenon remains limited. This study fills this gap by integrating the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) Model and Self-Perception Theory to examine the factors influencing consumers’ perceived value and impulsive buying intention in live streaming, focusing on the moderating role of self-control. Utilizing purposive sampling, survey data was collected from 220 local consumers and analyzed via structural equation modeling. The results revealed that live streaming's promotion time limit, online comments, and consumer-consumer interaction positively influence consumers’ perceived value formation. However, anchor characteristics showed no significant impact on perceived value. Importantly, a significant positive relationship was confirmed between perceived value and impulsive buying intention, with self-control moderating this relationship. This study contributes novel insights to researchers and practitioners alike, shedding light on the value-based determinants of impulsive buying intention in live streaming, while also elucidating the moderating role of self-control. These findings underscore the significance of live streaming as a potent force shaping consumer behavior in e-commerce, offering valuable academic and industry implications. Understanding these dynamics can help businesses refine their marketing strategies and empower consumers with better decision-making frameworks in digital shopping environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":35064,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Organizational Excellence","volume":"45 6","pages":"631-641"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/joe.70037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on Signaling Theory and Social Identity Theory, the research aims to explain how sustainability-related cues function as strategic signals under conditions of information asymmetry and influence applicant behavior through both direct and mediated pathways. A quantitative, cross-sectional research design was employed using survey data collected from 334 job seekers across diverse industries. The data were analyzed using a two-step structural equation modeling (SEM) approach, including exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to validate the measurement model, followed by SEM to test the hypothesized relationships and mediation effects. The results indicate that sustainability messaging has a significant positive effect on employer brand attractiveness (<i>β</i> = 0.37, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) and directly influences intention to apply (<i>β</i> = 0.59, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). Employer brand attractiveness strongly predicts intention to apply (<i>β</i> = 0.74, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) and partially mediates the relationship between sustainability messaging and application intention (indirect effect <i>β</i> = 0.27, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). The model demonstrates substantial explanatory power, accounting for 68% of the variance in job seekers’ intention to apply. This study contributes to the literature by extending Signaling Theory to recruitment advertising and positioning sustainability messaging as a credibility-dependent signal influencing both perceptual and behavioral outcomes. By integrating Social Identity Theory, the study further explains how value congruence enhances employer attractiveness. Unlike prior research focusing on macro-level sustainability initiatives, this study provides empirical evidence on micro-level recruitment communication mechanisms, offering novel insights into sustainability-driven employer branding strategies.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":35064,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Organizational Excellence","volume":"45 6","pages":"656-668"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148695887","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}

Second, the masculinity-engagement relationship has strengthened monotonically over the 13-year window, suggesting that competition-oriented cultural environments are becoming increasingly costly to engagement. Third, indulgence is not directly associated with engagement but robustly predicts lower active disengagement, indicating that the cultural correlates of engagement and active disengagement are partially distinct.

While established technology adoption models effectively explain AI integration in conventional business contexts, they insufficiently address the unique considerations of creative industries, where technological decisions involve complex negotiations between technical capabilities and artistic values. This study addresses this research gap by developing a comprehensive framework specifically designed to explain and facilitate AI adoption by creative professionals. The integrated framework combines established technology acceptance constructs with novel artist-centric variables that account for the symbolic, identity-based, and aesthetic dimensions of technology use in the arts. Through qualitative phenomenological analysis of 42 music professionals from the Indian film music industry and synthesis of multidisciplinary literature, we demonstrate how this framework addresses the limitations of current technology adoption models when applied to creative contexts. A key finding is that partial adoption represents an optimal stable endpoint rather than a transitional state, with 78% of successful adopters maintaining deliberate boundaries between AI assistance and human creativity control. The proposed model offers significant theoretical contributions by expanding technology adoption research beyond utilitarian organisational contexts and provides practical value for businesses seeking to implement human-centric AI solutions that respect creative values while driving organisational excellence in Industry 5.0.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":35064,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Organizational Excellence","volume":"45 6","pages":"612-630"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696273","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}

The sample includes individuals aged between 18 and 60, with annual incomes ranging up to 10 lakhs and above 10 lakhs. The outcomes of variance based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) demonstrate that financial attitude, financial socialization and socio-demographic characteristics positively influence financial literacy. Additionally, financial literacy significantly influences financial preparedness and financial capability. However, financial literacy, financial preparedness and financial capability insignificantly influence financial fragility. The results also show that financial preparedness and financial capability independently and in parallel do not mediate the relationship between financial literacy and financial fragility. The findings of this article help financial institutions develop mechanisms to increase individuals' confidence in their financial activities.
