This quantitative study examines the relationship between consumption functionality and green packaging dimensions among 484 consumers in China. The data was analyzed using SPSS and AMOS to test the impact of consumption functionality on product meaningfulness and willingness to purchase, as well as the mediating role of green packaging. As packaging has evolved to add functional, emotional and social value to products, influencing brand image, this study investigates the design appeal of green packaging. The aim is to determine how consumption functionality affects product meaningfulness and willingness to purchase green packaged products, and whether green packaging mediates these relationships. The variables studied include consumption functionality, product meaningfulness, willingness to purchase, and green packaging components such as symbolic, economic and altruistic values. The literature review examined prior research on the impacts of consumption functionality on product meaningfulness and purchase willingness. It also covered studies on the symbolic, economic and altruistic values of green packaging and its potential mediating effects. The results provide insights into Chinese consumer responses to green packaging, specifically the mechanisms by which consumption functionality and green packaging influence product meaningfulness and willingness to purchase. This helps marketing practitioners determine effective positioning and messaging approaches for green packaged goods. It provides guidance on tactical elements like packaging design. The findings can shape creative strategies for brands looking to leverage green packaging appeals among Chinese consumers. Further research can build on this study to deepen knowledge in this emerging area as the popularity of sustainable packaging grows.

Teacher performance and satisfaction is influenced through the organizational environment. Thus, this study explores the effectiveness of leadership styles in promoting teacher satisfaction, namely instructional leadership, and distributed leadership. The direct effects of instructional and distributed leadership on teacher’s job satisfaction along with the indirect effects through the mediation of reward, motivation and effectiveness were studied. The data was collected from 342 teachers employed in secondary schools of China, and the overall association among the factors was studied through the application of PLS-SEM. The findings of the study have indicated that instructional and distributed leadership styles are effective for curating the job satisfaction of teachers. Moreover, rewards, motivation, and job effectiveness were found to significantly mediate the association between leadership styles and job satisfaction. The results of the research study offer crucial implications for educational policies by demonstrating how job satisfaction among teachers can be enhanced through the implementation of appropriate leadership styles, emphasizing on reward, motivation, and effectiveness. The study suggests that development of teacher-focused policies and effective remuneration plans will lead towards satisfaction and therefore effective performance in the future.

Thus, this study explores the effectiveness of leadership styles in promoting teacher satisfaction, namely instructional leadership, and distributed leadership. The direct effects of instructional and distributed leadership on teacher’s job satisfaction along with the indirect effects through the mediation of reward, motivation and effectiveness were studied. The data was collected from 342 teachers employed in secondary schools of China, and the overall association among the factors was studied through the application of PLS-SEM. The findings of the study have indicated that instructional and distributed leadership styles are effective for curating the job satisfaction of teachers. Moreover, rewards, motivation, and job effectiveness were found to significantly mediate the association between leadership styles and job satisfaction. The results of the research study offer crucial implications for educational policies by demonstrating how job satisfaction among teachers can be enhanced through the implementation of appropriate leadership styles, emphasizing on reward, motivation, and effectiveness. The study suggests that development of teacher-focused policies and effective remuneration plans will lead towards satisfaction and therefore effective performance in the future.
