Household waste and the exploitation of the environment are among the alarming and unsustainable consumption patterns that are harmful to the ecosystem. Hence, this study aims to determine the factors influencing recycling behavior by extending the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to an analysis of how recycling practices are fostered among citizens and how sustainable development goals (SDG) are upheld. The extended TPB model includes moral norms, convenience, and the cost of recycling. A total of 170 responses were received via the purposive sampling technique. The research model was analyzed using the partial least square structural equation modeling technique (PLS-SEM). Results show that subjective norms, moral norms, convenience, and the cost to recycle positively influenced recycling behavior. Environmental awareness was found to heavily influence attitudes, but attitudes were not found to translate into behavior. This research provides significant insight and a better understanding of recycling behavior and adds new momentum to the growing literature. The implications of these findings are further discussed.

An organisation should be concerned with more than just profit; it should also be concerned with the social interests and welfare of the surrounding community. In order to ensure that the welfare of society is always safeguarded, the government places a greater emphasis on corporate social responsibility within the business sector. Good corporate social responsibility is only possible in conjunction with strategic management. This study investigated the consistency of previous researchers’ literature reviews on corporate social responsibility and strategic management. A total of 132 Scopus articles were selected for this study, and the article information was analysed utilising the systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis methods.

Using a literature review and bibliometric analysis, this research aims to analyse the relationship between the Islamic economy and sustainability. The study aimed to systematically document the intellectual structure, volume, tendencies of knowledge development, the author, and source impact. Using Microsoft Excel and R Studio, information is compiled from Scopus databases and analysed. We gathered a searchable database of the 76 most relevant papers from the last twenty-two years based on a vast amount of literature. Preliminary data suggests that between 2000 and 2022, there has been an increase in the number of works written on the Islamic economy. The bibliometric study using R identifies the subject’s most influential journals, authors, and papers. This study demonstrates that a new research topic can be derived by condensing the essential aspects of the Islamic economy and sustainability into a single concept, thereby opening up new research avenues in both the expansive field of the Islamic economy and the relatively new and hotly debated field of sustainability.

Understanding and recognising environmentally-friendly behaviour are vital in achieving the Sustainability Development Goals and driving the economy for countries and producers of environmentally-friendly goods. Nevertheless, various stakeholders have expressed concern about the existing green gap, which greatly hinders their marketing efforts. This situation persists as mainstream research investigates people’s purchasing intentions, under the notion that the intention to perform a specific behaviour would generally predict the actual behaviour. The key argument of this study is that examining the actual consumption behaviour of organic foods is the ideal approach towards investigating purchase intention drivers as a proxy for consumption. In response to the green gap, the theory of planned behaviour is expanded by including the dimension of temporal orientation, i.e., a future orientation that has an influential but unrecognised effect on many human behaviours. In contrast to the prevalent operationalisation of attitude, the term is defined as a product-specific attitude which is markedly dissimilar to the environmental attitude in its orientations. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling technique was used to analyse the research model. The findings indicate that while product-specific attitudes and perceived availability positively affect organic food consumption, subjective norms do not. Additionally, the data implies that product-specific attitudes are stronger when future orientation is high.

This study examines the factors influencing personal financial management practices among Malaysian youths, with the moderating role of future orientation. This study used the theory of planned behavior as an underpinning theory to predict and understand the factors that influence personal financial management practices among Malaysian youth. The participants in the study are Malaysian individuals aged 15 to 40 years. A total of 119 valid questionnaires were collected and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with partial least squares (PLS). The data analysis findings revealed significant positive effects of financial attitude and financial literacy on the financial management practices among the Malaysian youth. Additionally, the results demonstrate that future orientation is a moderator, strengthening the associations between financial attitude, financial literacy, and personal financial management practices among young people. This study has two main implications. First, it provides valuable information for Malaysian government organizations and policymakers to develop successful plans for encouraging better financial management among young people. Furthermore, this study contributes to the extant literature on personal financial management practices by offering an alternative strategy to address the growing problem of bankruptcy among the Malaysian youth.

Sustainability has become the global need for survival in all scopes due to financial development's side effects that have resulted in environmental destruction. The world leaders have proposed green banking (GB) to reduce carbon footprints from banking operations by promoting paperless financial services based on technology. However, the customers' adoption of GB remains unsatisfactory in the UAE. This study attempts to investigate the determinants of consumers' intention adoption of GB. An exploratory sequential mixed-method approach is employed. The qualitative analysis identified six new challenges facing customers' intention adoption of GB: customer awareness, personal innovativeness, bank reputation, security and privacy, system quality, and government support. The qualitative findings are mostly confirmed by quantitative study whereby awareness, personal innovativeness, system quality, and bank reputation significantly impact customers' intention to adopt GB. The study also revealed the insignificant moderating impact of gender and age in most proposed relationships.
