The Phantom of the ‘Responsible Consumer’: Unmasking the Intention–Action Gap with an Indirect Questioning Technique
(2021-12-03)
The intention-action gap stands out in research on sustainable consumption for decades. The current research explores the role of socially desirable responding (SDR) in the appearance of this gap by utilising an indirect questioning technique. Two online experiments (n=306 and n=334) demonstrate, in line with most market surveys, that consumers present themselves as highly responsible when being assessed with the standard survey measurement approach (i.e., direct questioning). However, the responses of participants ...

Investment Barriers and Labeling Schemes for Socially Responsible Investments
(2020-02-21)
Given the increasing role of socially responsible investing (SRI), but still limited participation of individual (i.e. small, retail) investors, the objective of this study is twofold: (i) We aim to identify investment barriers regarding SRI for individual investors and analyze to what extent these barriers vary across different investor groups. (ii) We analyze to what extent sustainability or transparency labels can help to overcome these barriers. To this end, we empirically analyze data from a survey and a stated ...

The financialization of remittances and the individualization of development: A new power geometry of global development
(2021-08-23)
The article argues that the increasing financialization of remittances produces an enormous shift in the political economy of development and contributes to a new power geometry of development. Exploring this power geometry, the article focuses on three main issues: First, migrants intend to support their friends and families on an individual level as remittance senders, and together with the corresponding recipients they form a translocal moral economy. On a macro level, the value of these transactions is high when ...

ESG Disclosure and Idiosyncratic Risk in Initial Public Offerings
(2021-06-01)
Although legitimacy theory provides strong arguments that environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosure and performance can help mitigate firm-specific (idiosyncratic) risks, this relationship has been repeatedly challenged by conceptual arguments, such as ‘transparency fallacy’ or ‘impression management’, and mixed empirical evidence. Therefore, we investigate this relationship in the revelatory case of initial public offerings (IPOs), which represent the first sale of common stock to the wider public. IPOs ...

Societal Evaluation of Bioeconomy Scenarios for Germany
(2022-05-05)
Transitioning to a bio-based economy is widely perceived as a necessary way to tackle climate change and other key environmental challenges. Given the major socio-economic consequences that such a transition entails for people’s everyday lives, it is crucial to take account of citizens’ perceptions and levels of acceptance of these changes. This study applies a holistic approach to gain an understanding of how citizens in Germany assess possible developments associated with transitioning to a bioeconomy. We developed ...

Romance and the ozone layer: panel evidence on green behavior in couples
(2022-02-03)
The exploration of the drivers of interpersonal alignment processes in romantic partners is particularly relevant to policies that promote green behavior because social anchoring in families and relationships can undermine effective behavioral change. The present paper aims to investigate the role important life events, such as childbirth, marriage, and the acquisition of real estate, in explaining the alignment of pro-environmental behavior within couples over time. The adoption of a life-course perspective is a ...

Coachingforschung meets Coachingpraxis
(2022-07-26)
Coachingforscher:innen wie auch Expert:innen der Coachingpraxis versichern sich häufig ihrer wechselseitigen Bedeutsamkeit und Relevanz. Doch unter der Wasseroberfläche brodelt es: Nehmen die Praktiker:innen den wachsenden „body of knowledge“ in der Forschung überhaupt zur Kenntnis? Oder ist es aus ihrer Perspektive nicht vielmehr so, dass Forschung und die daraus resultierenden Publikationen weder inspirieren noch informieren noch instruieren? Auf der anderen Seite schütteln Wissenschaftler:innen den Kopf darüber, ...

Industry 4.0-driven operations and supply chains for the circular economy: a bibliometric analysis
(2022-06-01)
The Industry 4.0 (I4.0) concept paves the way for the circular economy (CE) as advanced digital technologies enable sustainability initiatives. Hence, I4.0-driven CE-oriented supply chains (SCs) have improved sustainable performance, flexibility and interoperability. In order to smoothly embrace circular practices in digitally enabled SCs, quantitative techniques have been identified as crucial. Therefore, the intersection of I4.0, CE, supply chain management (SCM) and quantitative techniques is an emerging research ...

Was unterscheidet Führung in Präsenz vom virtuellen Raum?
(2022-09-05)
Die Diskussion über Führung in Präsenz und in der virtuellen Welt hat durch die Covid19 bedingte Verlagerung von Arbeitsplätzen in die Homeoffices neuen Schwung aufgenommen. Jedoch muss in die Diskussion miteinfließen, wie und wodurch Führung wirksam wird. Kommunikation auf sachlicher, affektiver und emotionaler Ebene ist das Bindeglied zwischen Führungskraft und Geführten. Aber gerade Kommunikation unterscheidet sich grundlegend in Präsenz und im virtuellen Raum. Das Kommunikationsmodell von Owen Hargie beschreibt ...

Die Berliner Stadtreinigung (BSR) auf dem Weg ins „Neue Normal“ - Eine Fallstudie
(2022-11-17)
Die COVID-19-Pandemie war der größte Transformationsbeschleuniger für die Arbeitsorganisation. Die BSR hat in einer repräsentativen Studie 2374 Beschäftigten zu Erfahrungen und Erwartungen mit mobilen Arbeiten (MoA) befragt. Es konnten keine unterschiedlichen Erwartungen bei Beschäftigten verschiedener Verwaltungsbereiche oder unterschiedlicher Altersgruppen nachgewiesen werden. Auch die familiäre Situation führt zu keinen anderen Erwartungen an das MoA. Führungskräfte wünschen sich weniger MoA. Die meisten wollen 2 ...
