This article investigates how regions’ ability to pursue sustainable development trajectories affects individual subjective well-being. In particular, it disentangles the social and environmental dimensions of sustainability by examining the relative role of social capital, public safety, and green innovation capacity in shaping individuals’ quality of life. Empirically, the study relies on a cross-sectional analysis of 255 European regions over the period 2000–2018, using data from the OECD Regional Well-Being database, OECD RegPat, ARDECO, Eurostat, the EU Labour Force Survey, and the EU-NED database. The results show that subjective well-being is positively influenced by all dimensions of sustainability, with social factors exerting a stronger effect than environmental ones. The conclusions highlight relevant policy and managerial implications for steering future regional development trajectories.

Motivated by an increasing interest in the influence of corporate boards on environmental and societal organizational outcomes, this study aims to clarify the dynamic interplay among corporate network strategy, board social learning, and board structure in shaping corporate environmental and societal performance. Using a sample comprising 522 firms listed in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indexes, we apply a Stochastic Actor Oriented Model to assess a novel theoretical framework and conceptual model. Our findings reveal that firms occupying central positions within the network tend to demonstrate enhanced environmental performance. Conversely, social learning tends to diminish overall organizational performance, and board activity exerts a negative influence on environmental and non-financial performance (average environmental and societal performance). Moreover, increased board activity correlates with improved societal performance, while a negative relationship exists between board size and environmental performance. Notably, board independence negatively affects both environmental and overall non-financial performance. This research offers a theoretical synthesis of previously disconnected literature strands. Furthermore, our results carry implications for business owners and public policy development, enhancing our comprehension of corporate performance dynamics.

With the increasing global environmental awareness and the tightening of regulations, high-end equipment manufacturing enterprises are facing a significant test of green innovation. Challenges such as core technologies, funding, and talent continue to impede the green innovation of enterprises. This study investigates how high-end equipment manufacturers can configure their technological, organizational and environmental (TOE) conditions to attain high green-innovation performance, adopting a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) lens that recognizes equifinality and causal asymmetry. The research reveals that none of single factors is necessary for high green innovation performance, indicating that enterprises need to focus on the synergistic effects and overall impact of multiple conditions in green innovation. The interaction and matching of conditions generate configuration effects, providing diverse paths for enterprises to enhance green innovation performance. Through the horizontal comparison of various configurations, it is evident that “high strategic flexibility” emerges as a crucial core condition, suggesting that enterprises should emphasize the flexibility of resource allocation and organizational coordination to better adapt to environmental changes.

The prior literature has predominantly emphasized the role of large firms exerting coercive power within supply chains to enhance sustainability outcomes. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often experience a reverse dynamic in which external pressures from supply chain agents drive sustainability initiatives. Drawing on Institutional Theory and Stakeholder Theory, this article examines whether supply chain sustainability improvements positively affect SMEs' economic, environmental, and social performance. Using a time-lagged research design, data were collected from a sample of 363 food and beverage manufacturing SMEs and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results provide support for the hypothesized relationships in the environmental and social dimensions of sustainability but not in the economic dimension. This implies that improvements in the social and environmental performance of the food and beverage manufacturing supply chain can positively influence SMEs' social and environmental performance, respectively. The article concludes with practical insights for managers, policymakers, and society at large on how to improve sustainable performance in food and beverage manufacturing SMEs.

Banks in Ghana operate in a constantly evolving regulatory environment, making the management of regulatory changes critical to their survival and performance. Guided by institutional theory, this study assessed how banks effectively managed regulatory changes, focusing on the rise in minimum capital requirement for banks in Ghana between 2017 and 2018 as a case study. The study also assessed the effect of managing this regulatory change on bank performance. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 302 Branch Managers, complemented by interviews with 13 Managers directly involved in managing the capital increase in their respective banks. The study used mean and standard deviation to analyze how change management mechanisms were applied during the implementation of the new capital requirement.
Additionally, a Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to estimate the impact of these mechanisms on the banks' performance. The findings revealed that although the banks were initially unprepared for the increase in the minimum capital requirement, they effectively applied change management strategies. The study found that banks had effective communication, stakeholder management, sponsorship, and training, but readiness was very low. From the SEM results, sponsorship (β = 0.41) and stakeholder management (β = 0.39) have statistically significant positive effects on operational performance. However, communication (β = 0.24) and training (β = 0.31) have a statistically significant positive impact on financial performance. These findings are consistent with institutional theory as proposed by Meyer and Rowan. Thus, from the theoretical point of view, this study posits that change management is a sure way for banks to adapt to regulatory changes, such as a rise in minimum capital requirements. This study contributes to empirical literature since it is the first to assess how banks use change management mechanisms to manage regulatory change. The study recommends that banks proactively integrate regulatory change management strategies into their operations to better prepare for future regulatory shifts.

This research explores how the information technology capabilities of board directors contribute to firm performance. Using a multisectoral sample of 3752 observations from 2008 to 2021, comprising 268 companies listed in the S&P 500 index, a discontinuous growth model was applied to analyze firm performance over time in relation to the inclusion of technology directors on the board. The analysis supports that the inclusion of a technology director on the board is associated with a significant and positive incremental effect on firm performance in the years following the appointment. It suggests that the impact of technologies on digital transformation (DT) extends beyond the implementation of specific tools; directors’ IT skills may initiate the DT process, with its origin occurring at a higher level than the top management team (TMT). In practice, our study suggests that the inclusion of technology director on the board be considered when a DT process is pursued to support the corporation's sustainable competitive advantage.

The literature applying effectual logic to entrepreneurial activity is extensive. However, more effective research needs to be conducted to analyze international entrepreneurship in the specific context of academic spin-offs (ASOs). Prior research has mainly analyzed the effect of human capital and relational capital on internationalization. However, limited research has focused on their psychological capital (PsyCap). The PsyCap changes over time due to the entrepreneur's international experiences and the differences in PsyCap in different internationalization patterns. Therefore, the objective of the paper is twofold. First, to analyze whether there are differences in the PsyCap of the academic entrepreneur between domestic ASOs and international ASOs. Second, to identify differences in the PsyCap of entrepreneurs' pre- and post-internationalization in international ASOs and with different internationalization patterns. The results of hierarchical cluster analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and post-hoc tests conclude, first, that there are no differences in the PsyCap of academic entrepreneurs in domestic ASOs and international ASOs, except for one of its dimension, optimism, which is more prominent for international ASOs. Second, in all internationalized ASOs, there are differences in the PsyCap of the academic entrepreneur if we compare the stage of creation with the current stage. However, optimism is similar in both stages. Third, comparing PsyCap in different internationalization patterns, there are differences in the PsyCap of academic entrepreneurs from one stage to another. PsyCap grows in Uppsala and Born Global (BG) ASOs but decreases in de-internationalized ASOs, which follow a non-linear pattern. Finally, self-efficacy is a key psychological dimension for de-internationalized ASOs.
将有效逻辑应用于创业活动的文献非常广泛。然而，需要进行更有效的研究，以分析学术附带利益（ASOs）的具体背景下的国际创业精神。以往的研究主要分析人力资本和关系资本对国际化的影响。然而，关注他们心理资本（PsyCap）的研究有限。由于企业家的国际经验和不同国际化模式下PsyCap的差异，PsyCap会随着时间的推移而变化。因此，本文的目的是双重的。首先，分析国内学术型创业家与国际学术型创业家的心理cap是否存在差异。第二，识别不同国际化模式下国际自主创业组织企业家国际化前后心理cap的差异。层次聚类分析、方差分析（ANOVA）和事后检验的结果表明：第一，学术型创业家的心理cap在国内创业家与国际创业家之间没有差异，只有一个维度乐观主义在国际创业家中更为突出。其次，在所有国际化的自主创业组织中，如果将其创建阶段与当前阶段进行比较，则学术企业家的心理cap存在差异。然而，这两个阶段的乐观情绪是相似的。第三，比较不同国际化模式下的心理cap，学术型企业家在不同阶段的心理cap存在差异。PsyCap在Uppsala和Born Global (BG) aso中增长，但在非国际化aso中下降，遵循非线性模式。最后，自我效能感是去国际化ASOs的关键心理维度。

This study analyses how brands' content marketing strategies on social networks influence electronic word of mouth (eWOM), a major predictor of business success that reflects consumer engagement and shapes behaviours such as increased purchase intention, willingness to pay more, reduced perceived risk, and strengthened brand trust and loyalty. While prior research has focused on isolated aspects of digital communication, such as message format or content appeal, this work incorporates additional key elements—brand humanization, personalization, and conversational relationships—that are essential for fostering trust and engagement in today's audiovisual content on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
Grounded in theories such as Service-Dominant Logic, brand personalization and humanization, Uses and Gratifications, trust transfer, Marketing Communications Theory, and Media Richness Theory, this research proposes a conceptual model based on the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) framework. The study analyses 250 Instagram posts and 250 TikTok posts from top-interaction consumer brands in Spain, measuring independent variables such as brand consistency, post position, message format, celebrity endorsement, content attractiveness, and interactivity, with eWOM operationalised as the volume of likes and comments. Control variables included posting day, emoji use, and post length, with content analysis applied for coding and negative binomial regression for hypothesis testing.
Findings reveal platform-specific patterns: while message format drives eWOM on TikTok, content attractiveness is more influential on Instagram. Celebrity endorsement is the only variable showing similar effects across platforms, increasing likes on both networks and comments on TikTok. This work addresses the gap in comparative analyses of content effectiveness between platforms with distinct social and technical dynamics, offering evidence-based insights for optimising brand communication strategies according to platform-specific audience interaction styles, message temporality, and visual engagement.

Can corporate entrepreneurship (CE) benefit from insights gained from stakeholders? This study develops a novel framework to analyse how stakeholder relationships provide opportunities and resources for CE, with a particular focus on the role of employees as key stakeholders in driving entrepreneurial activities within organisations. It also examines the consequences of CE for creating value in terms of triple bottom line performance. Matched data on 358 employees working in 125 technology-based companies in Spain were analysed to examine the proposed relationships. Structural equation models were estimated using EQS software. The research concludes that close relationships with stakeholders and employees’ proactive and risk-taking behaviour lead to high levels of CE. Employees’ innovative behaviour contributes to CE when coupled with a shared vision. Moreover, CE creates shared value by contributing positively to economic, environmental and social performance. Through this approach, we not only shed light on the drivers of CE, but also underline its transformative potential in promoting sustainable growth.
