This study, employing a survey and experimental vignette methodology, examines the impact of university education on economics students' attitudes toward CSR and organized labor. Our results indicate that while overall attitudes toward CSR remained stable, students showed a slight shift toward profit orientation when faced with real‐life managerial scenarios. There was also a decline in support for labor unions over the academic year, possibly due to neoliberal perspectives in teaching. A key finding is the emergence of a profit‐oriented mindset among economics students, reflecting broader managerial considerations. The study underscores the importance of examining how theoretical knowledge translates into practical decision‐making contexts and suggests the need for a nuanced understanding of CSR and labor union attitudes among economics students, thereby contributing to the discussion on higher education's role in shaping future business leaders.","PeriodicalId":48334,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142253671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a comprehensive systematic literature review, the research uncovers how CE principles can fortify and enrich LM practices, the role of LM in facilitating a transition towards CE, their combined impact on manufacturing performance, and the crucial environmental factors influencing this integration. The findings underscore that CE principles significantly strengthen LM practices by advocating waste minimization and resource optimization, thereby contributing to operational efficiency and sustainability. Conversely, LM aids the transition to a CE by optimizing resource use and minimizing waste, aligning with sustainability goals. LM supports recycling and remanufacturing by employing Just‐in‐Time and value stream mapping methodologies, augmented by Industry 4.0 technologies for seamless CE integration. Despite challenges like integration barriers and the need for organizational change, the synergy between CE and LM offers substantial benefits for environmental performance, operational efficiency, and competitive advantage. Our paper enriches academic knowledge and provides practical applications in sustainable manufacturing practices, offering a roadmap for organizations striving for sustainable operational excellence. Moreover, it also paves the way for future studies to further explore the synergistic potential of CE and LM through empirical studies, quantitative analyses, and the exploration of Industry 4.0 technologies.","PeriodicalId":48334,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142253674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have identified several issues related to financial reporting quality, its impact on stock prices, and the relationship between financial reporting and corporate governance. However, significant gaps remain in understanding the impact of the extractive industry's unique characteristics and the role of regulators in enhancing financial reporting practices. This study aims to illuminate the research trajectory affecting extractive firms by describing the state‐of‐the‐art regarding related accounting standards through a mapping of currently accessible studies. To achieve this, we applied a bibliometric analysis methodology. Bibliometric techniques provide a quantitative approach for objectively assessing literature, offering a comprehensive overview of influential authors, journals, themes, and countries within a specific research field. This approach also facilitates the identification of research trends and the prediction of future developments. The study highlights the growing demand for sustainability reports as the primary formalized means for companies to disclose their sustainable development efforts. Research on sustainability reporting in the mining sector underscores the importance of integrated sustainability reporting, with a focus on understanding the evolution and advancement of reporting methodologies across all dimensions of corporate social responsibility.","PeriodicalId":48334,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142253675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the Indian textile industry as the research setting, this paper explores from a psychological lens how suppliers process uncertainties while adopting sustainability practices. The study uncovers certification agencies, interpersonal trust between suppliers and buyers, and suppliers' size, as key constructs that influence how suppliers perceive and process risks and ambiguities, and in turn how that influences their adoption of sustainability practices. Combining these empirical insights with the stakeholder and relational view theories, we develop a comprehensive framework to model suppliers' sustainability decision‐making in the face of uncertainty. This study uncovers nuances of uncertainty aversion, which provide valuable insights for practitioners while also breaking fertile ground for future academic research to quantify the emergent propositions.","PeriodicalId":48334,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142253676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a straightforward random sampling method, 252 sample responses were selected from the target population of 680 academic staff members. A descriptive and explanatory research design was employed in the study, and a questionnaire was used to gather data. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the effect of GHRM on EGB. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test a predefined factor structure and assess the reliability and validity of the model. The study result shows GHRM has a statistically significant positive effect on conserving and influencing the behavior of other employees. On the other hand, GHRM has a negative and significant effect on avoiding harm and has no statistically significant effect on transforming and taking initiatives in categories of EGB. This study contributes to the body of knowledge in two ways. First, this study examines the role of GHRM on green employees' behavior by taking Hawassa University staff as a case study, which hasn't been conducted so far by other researchers. Secondly, the research examines the effect of GHRM on EGB by assessing employee behavior from various perspectives based on the green five taxonomy of EGB, which has not been sufficiently employed by prior studies. Besides the study, add green employee relations as an additional factor in GHRM, which was overlooked by most studies.","PeriodicalId":48334,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142175594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study fills this gap by incorporating female leaders' initiatives and integrating their proactive preferences to establish a link between gender and corporate pay dispersion. We first develop the theoretical argument that firms with female CEOs (SHE'‐E‐Os) have low pay dispersion due to their behavioral preferences—risk aversion and competition avoidance. Furthermore, we investigate how these preferences change over time—<jats:italic>heterogeneous life‐cycle stages</jats:italic>—which provides a long‐term perspective further enriching our understanding of the gender and organizational compensation structure. Using a 1992–2014 panel dataset from multiple sources, we find SHE'‐E‐Os are negatively associated with pay dispersion, particularly in firms during introduction, growth, or decline stages, as opposed to mature stages.
