Abstract

This study examines the impact of institutional pressures on restaurant entrepreneurs' adoption of biodegradable cutlery and tableware at the Macao Food Festival. Through semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis with 30 entrepreneurs, the study reveals that despite the increasing demand for sustainability, entrepreneurs often prioritise other business concerns. However, findings highlight that implementing regulations at the food festival can create learning opportunities that influence entrepreneurs' psychological mechanisms, leading to a favourable attitude, intention and behaviour towards sustainable practice. Drawing on Institutional Theory and the Theory of Planned Behaviour, the study develops an Integrated Model of Institutions and Planned Actions, shedding light on the institutionalisation process. Additionally, the 5Ps typology captures the diverse range of entrepreneurial attitudes towards sustainable practices. These insights provide valuable implications for policymakers and practitioners seeking to promote sustainable entrepreneurship in the restaurant industry.

推动可持续创业：澳门美食节的制度和心理影响

本研究探讨了制度压力对餐饮企业家在澳门美食节上采用可生物降解餐具的影响。通过对 30 位企业家进行半结构式访谈和主题分析，研究发现，尽管对可持续发展的需求日益增长，但企业家往往会优先考虑其他业务问题。然而，研究结果强调，在美食节上实施法规可以创造学习机会，从而影响企业家的心理机制，使其对可持续实践产生有利的态度、意向和行为。本研究借鉴制度理论和计划行为理论，建立了制度和计划行动综合模型，揭示了制度化过程。此外，5Ps 类型学还捕捉到了企业家对可持续实践的不同态度。这些见解为决策者和从业人员在餐饮业推广可持续创业精神提供了宝贵的启示。
