The circular economy (CE), often celebrated as a sustainable panacea, faces increasing criticism due to the rebound effect (RE)—a paradoxical phenomenon in which efficiency gains indirectly lead to an increase in resource consumption. This study fills a relevant gap by analyzing, through a systematic review, how contemporary literature discusses the REs in circular strategies between 2015 and 2025. After screening the bibliographic portfolio, 75 relevant articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science remained. The main results indicate that the RE is present in several circular strategies—such as reuse, recycling, remanufacturing, and rental models—and manifests itself through direct, indirect, psychological, and systemic mechanisms. Such effects are intensified by the absence of multilevel governance, appropriate indicators, and the diffusion of circular practices decoupled from cultural changes. The literature also points out that technological innovations, when devoid of regulation and sufficiency criteria, tend to legitimize overconsumption. The conclusion of the research reinforces that CE, if operated under a technocratic logic and based only on efficiency, runs the risk of reproducing the same unsustainable patterns of the linear model. Overcoming this paradox requires the articulation of robust governance, education for sufficiency, inclusive innovation, and specific metrics to monitor rebounds. As a groundbreaking contribution, this study proposes an original integrative framework—unparalleled in prior reviews—that dynamically interlinks circular strategies, RE types, conditioning factors, and mitigation instruments, drawing from an unprecedented multifactorial analysis of 75 articles to challenge the technocratic CE narrative and advance a regenerative, interdisciplinary agenda for true sustainability, with direct implications for policy, management, and future research.

This study examines the intersection of green finance and economic, social, and governance (ESG) readiness through the lens of sustainable transition theory, analyzing data across 32 higher and 25 lower ESG-ranked countries from 2014 to 2022. Employing econometric methods like OLS, FMOLS, GMM, and quantile regression, we find that green finance plays a critical role in enhancing ESG readiness. Access to credit is a fundamental enabler of economic activity, but its impact on ESG transitions remains contingent upon institutional capacity and regulatory alignment. Our findings indicate that renewable-energy investments consistently act as catalysts for sustainability transitions. Green bonds emerge as niche innovations, but their effectiveness depends on the maturity of the financial market. A cross-sectional analysis highlights the presence of path dependencies in ESG development, particularly in higher ESG-ranked countries. These insights are vital for policymakers aiming to foster sustainability transitions through tailored market interventions and support for emerging green finance initiatives.

This study investigates the mediating role of green innovation (GI) in the relationship between green human resource management (GHRM) practices and economic and social performance, while also examining the moderating influence of environmental strategy on the link between GI and performance outcomes within Palestinian healthcare organizations. A quantitative approach was employed using a structured survey, with data analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM)—a robust statistical method well-suited for hypothesis testing in complex models. The findings confirm that GHRM practices and GI both directly and indirectly enhance economic and social performance. Notably, GI was identified as a key mechanism through which GHRM drives sustainable outcomes. However, the study found that environmental strategy does not exert a statistically significant moderating effect on the relationship between GI and performance in this context. These results underscore the critical role of GI in translating HR sustainability practices into tangible organizational benefits. This research contributes to the literature by clarifying the dynamics between GHRM, GI, and sustainable performance in a service sector that has received limited empirical attention—especially in developing and politically constrained contexts such as Palestine. The study offers theoretical insights into how strategic HR and innovation initiatives intersect to support sustainability and provides practical recommendations for healthcare managers and policymakers. In particular, it highlights the transformative potential of GHRM and GI for promoting economic and social sustainability in resource-constrained environments, offering a valuable roadmap for other developing nations facing similar challenges.

The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the role of employee coping in determining the effect of workaholism on burnout. This study utilized a survey approach to collect information from a varied cohort of teachers encompassing individuals employed in private sector educational institutions, following a time-lagged approach. The gathered data was thoroughly examined using the structural equation modeling (SEM) method. The research results highlight the potential impact of employee coping strategies in mediating the relationship between workaholism and burnout. Moreover, the findings suggest that humble leadership attenuates the relationship between workaholism and avoidance coping, ultimately resulting in a decrease in burnout. These insights reinforce the significance of ethical leadership in creating psychologically healthy work environments, an essential knowledge dimension of corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Global climate and environmental changes have heightened public awareness of corporate environmental responsibility (CER). However, few studies have examined from a systematic perspective how multiple factors jointly influence the level of corporate environmental responsibility. This study, grounded in sustainable entrepreneurship ecosystems (SEEs), analyzes data from 44 countries using the 2024 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and the 2024 the Global Sustainable Competitiveness Index (GSCI). By applying necessary condition analysis (NCA) and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), the research explores the complex pathways to achieving high CER levels. The findings reveal four key configurations that lead to high CER, showing that no single factor is sufficient for achieving high CER. Additionally, intellectual capital does not appear to have a significant impact on CER. This research enhances the literature on sustainable development and contributes to a deeper understanding of CER across different countries.

As environmental pressures and corporate social responsibility demands intensify, organizations face growing pressure to adopt adaptive, sustainability-oriented strategies. This challenge is especially relevant in globally significant industries such as wine production, which is economically and culturally vital in countries like Italy. This study applies the dynamic capabilities framework focusing on sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring to examine how wineries perceive the importance of specific strategic actions for sustainability. A survey of 55 Italian wineries assessed these perceptions using the Relative Importance Index (RII). Results show that wineries emphasize participation in sustainability programs for sensing, new equipment acquisition for seizing, and process technology development for reconfiguring. Beta regression analysis further reveals that participation in sustainability programs significantly increases the perceived importance of actions across all three capability areas; however, supply chain integration decreased it. These findings underscore the pivotal role of collaborative networks in enhancing dynamic capabilities and advancing sustainability-driven innovation in the wine industry.
