Sustainable Consumption and the “Last‐Mile” Problem: Cultural and Neural Mechanisms of Near‐Expiration Date Bias in Meat Purchases
Food waste poses escalating environmental costs and economic losses, with near‐expiration‐date bias limiting the effectiveness of discount‐based waste‐reduction initiatives. This study examines how expiration‐date cues, interacting with consumer identity, shape responses to discounted meat products through emotional and neural mechanisms in China and Spain. Combining online (3 × 2) and lab (2 × 2) experimental design, electroencephalography and s…
Food waste in group dining: The Interplay of Shame and Conflict Aversion in the “Last Piece of Food” Dilemma
Group dining at social or business occasions frequently encounters the “last piece of food” dilemma, where a single item remains uneaten when food is served to event guests on a shared plate. Despite its contribution to food waste generation in event catering, the socio-cultural and psychological drivers of this phenomenon remain unexplored. Using a mixed methods research design, this study examines the underlying factors of the “last piece of fo…
Surplus food commercialization in China: An attitude-behaviour-context based strategy for food waste reduction in the retail and hospitality sectors
Purpose This study integrates the theory of planned behaviour and attitude-behaviour-context theory to identify determinants (price consciousness, sales proneness and food waste awareness) and barriers (perceived risks) of consumer purchase intentions toward surplus food in two different sectors in China. Specifically, it focuses on the retail sector and on the hotels, restaurants and cafés (here on HoReCa) sector. This distinction is relevant be…
Advancing Sustainable Consumption in the Green Skincare Sector: Examining Celebrity Endorsements Through the Theory of Planned Behavior and Source Credibility Theory
This study examines how celebrity endorsements drive sustainable consumption by shaping purchase intentions for green moisturizers in China, integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Source Credibility Theory (SCT). Surveying 700 consumers and applying partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM), we find celebrity endorsements enhance intentions directly and indirectly, bridging the intention‐behavior gap in sustainabl…
Transforming Event Experiences: The Role of Application Technology in Shaping Behavioral Intentions and Attachment to Places
This study develops an integrated model that investigates the impact of app technology on event experiences and subsequent consumer behaviors—place attachment, affective commitment, and behavioral intentions. In the context of sports tourism events, data were collected from 219 international participants during the 12th Transpyr race in 2022. Results suggest that perceived usefulness, information value, and perceived enjoyment are drivers of user…
The Influence of Organizations’ Tax Avoidance Practices on Consumers’ Behavior: The Role of Moral Reasoning Strategies, Political Ideology, and Brand Identification
The impact of the perceived risk of Covid-19 on consumers' attitude and behavior toward locally produced food
Purpose This study analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the consumption of locally produced food. In particular, it examines an extended model of the theory of planned behavior, with the addition of the perceived risk of becoming infected with the disease, locavorism and internal locus of control. Design/methodology/approach The study employs data collected from an online panel of consumers from the five largest cities in Spain ( n = 1…
Quickserv: A service quality assessment tool for the quick-service restaurant industry
Purpose The purpose of this study is to empirically develop and validate a practical, consistent and specific scale to assess perceived service quality at the service encounter at quick-service restaurants (QSRs). Design/methodology/approach Development and validation of the scale involved a five-stage process. Data were collected from 430 customers of a QSR belonging to an international brand located in Barcelona. Surveys were applied immediatel…
Are you getting it? Integrating theories to explain intentions to get vaccinated against Covid-19 in Spain
Based on the Health-Belief Model, the Theory of Reasoned Action and elements from social exchange, political ideology and fairness theories, this study explores the factors explaining individuals’ intentions to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Data were collected from a representative sample of the Spanish population composed of 507 citizens. The proposed model is tested with Partial Least Squares. Empirical testing suggests that attitudes toward …
Bringing a health systems modelling approach to complex evaluations: Multicountry applications in HIV, TB and malaria
INTRODUCTION: Understanding how to deliver interventions more effectively is a growing emphasis in Global Health. Simultaneously, health system strengthening is a key component to improving delivery. As a result, it is challenging to evaluate programme implementation while reflecting real-world complexity. We present our experience in using a health systems modelling approach as part of a mixed-methods evaluation and describe applications of thes…

To do so, this study proposed an extended technology acceptance model that includes variables such as perceived enjoyment and flow. In addition, the moderating role of students’ personal innovativeness in the technology field was analysed. The framework was empirically tested applying partial least squares to a sample …
