title: Exploring the pathways to sustainable entrepreneurship – a meta-ethnographic synthesis

description: The study is a meta-ethnographic review of qualitative results on sustainable entrepreneurship antecedents aimed to (1) identify the drivers of this phenomenon, (2) understand the meaning of the factors by understanding their composition, and (3) identify research gaps for future studies. The study identified and reviewed 27 qualitative studies using a shortened version of Tranfield et al.’s 10-phased protocol. The study attempted to unite isolated related ideas into one, demonstrating their synergistic relationship and improving comprehension of antecedent variables. One of the key pull factors was stakeholder engagement, which the study defined as ‘stakeholder expectation, support and pressure’. The study also identified ‘motivation for personal gains’ as a key push factor, with ‘drives motivated by personality trait, personal circumstance, and desire for independence’ driving its meaning. The synthesis also found conceptual overlaps between motivation frameworks like the Push-Pull Model (PPM), Awareness-Motivation-Capability (AMC) and Motivation-Ability-Opportunity (MAO) models, and that developed economy literature dominates sustainable entrepreneurship. The complex interaction of internal and external variables as inputs in an input-outcome mechanism produced higher-level outcomes. Future research should examine how events unfold to create sustainable entrepreneurs.

title: Quality, determinants and financial consequences of climate change disclosures: a structured review

description: Recent years have seen rapid growth in research on climate-related disclosures, yet existing reviews mainly focus on carbon and GHG reporting through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), overlooking the broader framework introduced by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). This study conducts a structured review of 134 peer-reviewed articles (2010–2025), all published in journals ranked 2* or higher according to the ABS 2024 Journal Guide, to integrate insights from both CDP and TCFD perspectives. The review makes three key contributions over past studies. First, it provides a structured and integrative synthesis to date by bridging CDP and TCFD based disclosure research, while prior reviews largely examined carbon disclosure in isolation. Second, it develops a thematic framework encompassing disclosure characteristics, quality and compliance, determinants, financial consequences and greenwashing, dimensions that earlier reviews treated separately. Finally, it advances the methodological rigor of prior reviews on climate related disclosures by applying a structured review and by identifying underexplored empirical gaps to guide future research. The findings offer actionable insights for regulators, investors and firms aiming to strengthen the quality, comparability and credibility of climate-related disclosures.

title: Can the credibility judgement model address mobile commerce challenges?

description: The idea behind this research is to examine seller credibility, not only based on expectations violations during and after purchase, but also using the MAIN model. All participants were recruited from two large universities in Central Java, Indonesia. One was a public university, and the other was a privately run university. Fifteen in-depth interviews were conducted. All participants were asked to create daily reports on their m-commerce purchasing experience. There were fifteen reports. Based on these reports, in-depth interviews were conducted to explore participants’ assessments of seller credibility. Participants assessed credibility by examining violations of their expectations from the pre-buying phase to post buying phase, along with the cues associated with these violations. In addition, participants also looked at the cues in m-commerce (MAIN model cues). From these results, we propose a credibility judgement model for m-commerce that can guide practitioners and scholars in understanding how consumers assess the credibility of mobile app-based sellers and m-commerce and to open up new areas of academic research.

title: Green innovations in third-party logistics: managerial reasons, external stakeholder influences and contingencies in the natural-business environment

description: Increasing ecological consciousness makes adopting green innovations a strategic concern for third-party logistics providers (3PLs). This article addresses gaps in understanding how 3PLs can strategically leverage green innovations and the business environment characteristics influencing their adoption through a multiple-case study of six environmentally proactive German 3PLs using semi-structured interviews and triangulated with secondary data. Results show varied adoption levels with process innovations linked to cost savings, enhanced reputation and long-term energy independence. Large 3PLs differentiate through green services in eco-aware segments. Moreover, findings highlight the importance of managing external stakeholder relationships and reveal market-related contingencies that create uncertainty and complexity for 3PLs, such as unpredictable technological developments or shifting governmental regulations. Market munificence plays a crucial role in enabling green innovation adoption, with small-/mid-sized 3PLs facing challenges in accessing external green knowledge and personnel. This study is informed by the Natural Resource-based View (NRBV), Stakeholder Theory (ST) and Contingency Theory (CT) perspectives, developing a comprehensive framework that coherently structures the problem-situation and derives propositions for subsequent explanatory investigations. It recommends a step-by-step approach to green innovations, forming diverse partnerships and maintaining communication with shippers to overcome perceived market-related contingencies. Small-/mid-sized 3PLs should consider horizontal cooperation for unified advocacy and shared best practices.

title: Analyzing employee attrition of research and development firms using mixed methods

description: Employees are the assets of an organization as they are the source of an indispensable and sustainable competitive advantage. Employee attrition is critical to the knowledge-intensive Research and Development (R&D) industry due to information loss. When employee joins the competing organization, and he transfer his key expertise/ competencies to competing organization. The present study collected empirical data from 457 samples through a survey. Grounded in Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theory, this study employs a mixed-method approach, integrating logistic regression with semi-structured interviews, to examine attrition drivers in Indian R&D firms. By synthesizing fairness, tangible benefits, workplace relationships, and workplace stress, the study offers novel insights into retention challenges specific to knowledge-intensive environments. The study is distinct as we did not find significant studies that discuss the concerns and expectations of highly skilled employees to improve retention rates. The present study also addresses methodological gaps, as we did not find significant studies that used both logistic regression using machine learning and semi-structured interviews to analyze employee attrition of R&D firms. The findings of the study reveal that both intrinsic and extrinsic factors are accountable for employee attrition in R&D firms.

title: Comparative environmental disclosure practices: evidence from the UK and the USA

description: This study examines environmental reporting practices among leading firms in the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (USA) by analyzing the top 50 firms from the Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 (FTSE100) and the Standard & Poor 100 (S&P100) indices during 2018 and 2019. Using volumetric metrics from annual and stand-alone reports, we assess disclosure patterns prior to the adoption of the revised Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and in anticipation of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) S1 and S2. Statistical analyses including correlation tests and both independent and paired sample <i>t</i>-tests reveal three key findings: (1) UK firms disclosed significantly less environmental content than US firms, suggesting strategic prioritization of other environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics and alignment with national reporting expectations; (2) strong correlations among volumetric disclosure measures, coupled with statistically significant shifts over time, indicate that firms exhibit both consistency and adaptability in disclosure practices; and (3) significant differences in disclosure volumes between the two countries confirm the influence of regulatory systems, national cultures, and reporting norms. These findings support legitimacy theory and suggest that the environmental disclosure volume highlights the role of institutional and cultural contexts. They illustrate how multinational corporations navigate regulatory changes and prepare for new standards, offering a valuable perspective for evaluating corporate environmental accountability. This study underscores the continuing relevance of legitimacy theory and calls for further research into the drivers of voluntary sustainability reporting in a shifting regulatory landscape.

title: Exploring the nexus between persuasive principles and regulatory focus: an online experiment

description: Consumers’ regulatory focus plays an important role in their evaluation of products and advertisements. In this article, we examine the impact of using persuasive principles to tailor messages to consumers’ regulatory focus on message attitude, brand attitude, and purchase intention. Step 1 of the study (a survey) revealed that promotion focus positively correlates with susceptibility to authority, commitment, and liking. While in contrast, prevention focus shows a positive correlation with susceptibility to reciprocity and social proof. Step 2 of the study (an experiment) reveals that promotion-focused consumers show more positive ad and brand attitudes and higher purchase intention when exposed to an ad containing authority, commitment, or liking. Prevention-focused consumers show more positive ad and brand attitudes and purchase intention when exposed to reciprocity or social proof in the content of the targeted advertisement.

title: Factors influencing the sustainability of university-incubated agribusinesses: the role of stigma failure, personality and motivation in Kenya

description: This study explored the motivations behind university students’ participation in university incubation programs (UIPs), and examines how in addition, personality and stigma failure impact the sustainability of their agribusiness. Using a multistage sampling technique, 272 student respondents from seven universities were selected. The data were analysed through Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify key motivational dimensions. Results revealed two principal components: students are motivated by neccessity than opportunity factors when joining UIPs. These factors, along with personality traits and fear of failure, were further analysed using the Structural Equation Model under the Partial Least Square method. A p-value of 0.000 revealed positive and significant relationship between necessity-driven motivations and agribusiness sustainability. Additionally, a p-value of 0.000, showed a significant relationship between personality traits and sustainability. Conversely, opportunity motivation factors had no significant relationship to the sustainability of agribusinesses (p-value = 0.831). To enhance the success of incubated agribusinesses, training programs should focus on necessity-driven motivations, while policymakers should consider interventions that reduce unemployment by institutionalizing UIPs. These could lower entrepreneurial opportunity cost and encourage more students to engage in sustainable agribusiness ventures.
