Exploring managerial intentions to implement ESG Activities: The role of facilitating conditions in the UTAUT2 framework
This research investigates the factors influencing managers' willingness to adopt Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) practices in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. As these practices are becoming increasingly important, it is crucial to understand what factors can increase managers' acceptance of them for both theory and practice. Our analysis was conducted on a sample of 306 managers from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Anchored in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), we tested three models to identify predictors of intention to adopt ESG practices and to explore the moderating role of facilitating conditions (FC) on the relationship between performance expectancy and intention to adopt ESG practices. Our findings indicate that there are consistent factors that predict the managers’ intention of adopt ESG practices, including Performance Expectancy (PE), Social Influence (SI), and Habitual Tendency (HT). We found that the FC negatively moderate the link between PE and intention to adopt social and governance practices within ESG framework. We argue that the nature of each domain within ESG, ceiling effect, and resource constraints and trade-offs might be possible explanations for these results.
期刊介绍:
Regional Science Policy & Practice (RSPP) is the official policy and practitioner orientated journal of the Regional Science Association International. It is an international journal that publishes high quality papers in applied regional science that explore policy and practice issues in regional and local development. It welcomes papers from a range of academic disciplines and practitioners including planning, public policy, geography, economics and environmental science and related fields. Papers should address the interface between academic debates and policy development and application. RSPP provides an opportunity for academics and policy makers to develop a dialogue to identify and explore many of the challenges facing local and regional economies.
