Using four scenario-based experimental studies alongside analyses of variance (ANOVA) and regression methodologies, we investigated the role of perceived recycling innovativeness in consumers' responses to recycled product advertisements. Our results revealed that consumers are less likely to purchase recycled products made from unique waste materials that are considered more innovative compared to products made from typical waste materials. Furthermore, our findings showed that inferences of low quality mediate the negative effect of innovative recycling on purchase intention. This effect was attenuated by consumers' purchase goals and the availability of recycling process information. This work's theoretical contribution is its expansion of knowledge on how consumers infer recycled products' performance based on information about the source materials.

The results show that sustainability orientation is linked to environmental performance, while social capital and organizational resilience are linked to economic performance. The results of the analysis of the mediating effect of organizational resilience differ depending on the type of performance. These findings thus suggest that companies should decide what kind of results they want to prioritize in order to direct their efforts at a strategic level, focusing on organizational resilience and social capital if they want to achieve better economic results and on sustainability orientation if they want to improve their environmental performance.

We selected Chinese A-share listed manufacturing companies operating between 2014 and 2021 as the research sample and tested our hypotheses using STATA 15.1 software. The results indicate that the political background, overseas experience, and environmental background of a CEO all have a positive impact on firms' environmental innovation. The CEO tenure plays a positive moderating role in the impact of the three types of CEO background experiences on firms' environmental innovation. Further analysis reveals that the promotion effect on firms' environmental innovation of CEO overseas experience and political background is more significant in state-owned firms, while the promotion effect of environmental background is more significant in nonstate-owned firms. When compared with small firms, the three background experiences have a more significant impact on environmental innovation in large firms.

Based on unbalanced panel data from Chinese non-state-owned listed companies from 2010 to 2019, the study finds that the succession of an interim CEO is associated with a simultaneous reduction in both corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate social irresponsibility (CSI) activities. The negative relationship between interim CEO and CSI activities is weaken in the context of high institutional voids. Mechanism analysis reveals that interim CEOs tend to focus more on the present and allocate more attention toward external stakeholder management strategies and low-cost and efficiency strategies.
