Climate Action Through a Feminist Lens
This study examines how feminist identity (i.e., self-identification as a feminist) relates to climate action. Drawing on theories on consumer, business, and feminist ethics, environmental psychology, and identity-based behavior, we propose a theoretical model in which the effect of feminist identity on climate action is mediated by awareness of the gendered impacts of climate change, concern about climate change, and empathy with nature. An onli…
Virtual nature experiences on Instagram
This study analyses the effects of greenfluencers’ nature posts on their followers’ intention to protect the climate, and the underlying mechanism of virtual nature experiences, nature connectedness, and climate concern in mediating this relationship. The proposed theoretical model was tested with an online survey of a sample of N = 550 Australian Instagram users of which n = 275 were following greenfluencers and an experimental study with a quot…
Influencer Worship and Self-Connection with the Promoted Brands on Social Media
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between influencer worship and consumers' self-connection with the brands promoted by the influencer in social media contexts. Data from 698 active social media users who follow influencers were collected to test the conceptual framework. The findings support the positive link between influencer worship and consumers' self-connection with the brands promoted by the influencer on soci…
Predicting Covid-19 Vaccination Intention
The purpose of this study is to explore the process through which institutional trust influences individuals' vaccination intentions for a coronavirus vaccine. We collected data from a national representative sample of the Spanish population (N = 500) from an online research panel to test the proposed conceptual model. Results revealed a positive association of institutional trust with coronavirus vaccination intentions. This effect was mediated …
Perspectives
The advertising industry has a direct carbon footprint but also contributes to climate change by stimulating unsustainable economic growth, promoting climate-harmful consumerism, and greenwashing polluting products and companies. However, advertising can also play a pivotal role in fighting climate change. The advertising industry can reduce its carbon footprint, fight greenwashing, and cut ties with polluting clients and industries. Green advert…
Past, present, and future of research on corporate social responsibility advertising
While the idea and terminology of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) stem from the 1950s and companies have been practicing CSR and advertising their engagement for some time, the advertising literature has had a late start to this topic. More recently, CSR has become prominent in both advertising practice and research. With a specific focus on the role of the International Journal of Advertising (IJA), this paper aims to provide a historical …
What drives CSR communication effectiveness on social media? A process-based theoretical framework and research agenda
While practice and research show that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) communication on social media can have positive effects on corporate reputation, brand attitude and purchase intention, consumer engagement with CSR posts has been underwhelming. Companies are not successfully tapping into the inherent potential of social media communication. This theoretical review integrates extant CSR and social media communication research to contribu…
Leading smart city projects
This research studied the effect of different combinations of government capabilities (innovation capability mix) on public value in smart city-framed innovation projects. The study drew on the public value theory, the collaborative public innovation approach and the dynamic capabilities theory to devise a conceptual framework that links government capabilities and public value. Insights from smart cities and literature on public innovation were …
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on subjective mental well-being
Explaining Viral CSR Message Propagation in Social Media
Mindfulness, Compulsive Mobile Social Media Use, and Derived Stress
There is growing concern over the emergence of damaging compulsive use patterns among some users of social networking sites (SNSs), in particular of mobile social media. Although previous studies argue that mindfulness has a protective effect on compulsive behaviors, to date, no study has analyzed the underlying mechanisms by which mindfulness reduces compulsive SNS usage. This study addresses this gap by examining the relationship between mindfu…
Warm glow vs. altruistic values
Capturing the benefits that emerge from regional sustainability networks
Informal and Formal Sources of Knowledge as Drivers of Regional Innovation
We study the combined effect of formal (FSK) and informal (ISK) sources of knowledge on European regional innovation performance. Our findings show that the effect of the two sources of knowledge on innovation performance is not simple and linear. First, both sources of knowledge have an interaction effect on innovation performance (ie, the effect of FSK on regional innovation depends on the level of access to ISK in the region, and vice versa). …
