Green entrepreneurship has become a growing area of interest among researchers and practitioners as it has the potential to address the sustainability challenges faced by the global economy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate six antecedents (self-efficacy, attitude, green consumption commitment, country support, university support, and subjective norms) that can predict the intention to engage in green entrepreneurship among higher education students. A total of 690 higher education students were surveyed, and the results were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that the internal antecedents of green entrepreneurship intention (self-efficacy, attitude, and green consumption commitment) have a higher significant predictive power than the external antecedents of green entrepreneurship intention (country support, university support, and subjective norms) among higher education students. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the factors that influence green entrepreneurship intention (GEI) and can be used to inform policy and educational initiatives aimed at promoting green entrepreneurship. The findings of this research could also draw attention from the government and universities who are interested in understanding the factors that influence students’ inclination towards green entrepreneurship. This could lead to the creation of relevant course materials, programs, and funding to promote sustainable initiatives.

This study aims to investigate the mediating role of supply chain resilience and robustness on the relationship between the use of digital technologies and sustainable environmental performance. Additionally, it investigates the moderating role of supply chain complexity on the impact of digital technologies on supply chain resilience and robustness. Data were gathered from 292 supply chain managers at registered manufacturing companies in Egypt and analyzed using Smart-PLS 4 software. The findings reveal that supply chain resilience and robustness partially mediate the link between digital technologies and sustainable environmental performance. Moreover, supply chain complexity was found to positively moderate the effect of digital technologies on both resilience and robustness. The model explained 53.2% of the variance in supply chain robustness, 56.6% in supply chain resilience, and 72.3% in sustainable environmental performance. These results provide critical insights for corporate policymaking, helping to drive continuous improvements in supply chain management, environmental performance, and sustainable development.

In the rapidly changing environment of the tourism business, building digital trust and rapport has appeared as a critical factor for sustaining profitable customer relationships and confirming long-term business survival. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the research landscape with respect to digital trust and rapport establishment within the tourism context using techniques for bibliometric analysis in conjunction with visualization. This research paper explores publication trends, identifies key journals and authors, and determines the most productive countries, academic institutions, and primary research keywords. It involves analyzing publications from the Scopus database focusing on the duration between 2014 and 2023. The findings show that the digital trust and rapport-building literature expands its importance within the tourism industry due to factors such as competition pressure; customers’ high expectations; the incorporation of technology; and, most recently, the occurrence of pandemics like the COVID-19 pandemic. The US, in particular, can be identified as the most productive country in this research area. The International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management and the International Journal of Hospitality Management appear to be popular scientific publications on this topic. They present the following main research themes: customer engagement, employee conduct, and technology in the construction of trust. This study also underscores the practical role of the findings in successful endeavors within the field, detailing how cultural sensitivity, technological incorporation, and accessibility in service provision would contribute to building digital trust with international customers. Potential future research directions are proposed to advance the understanding of culture, technology, the effects of crises, and the application of other research methods.

In line with today’s economy, investment and financial awareness are necessary for success and an individual’s well-being, specifically for the younger generations. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationships between financial literacy, saving behavior, a lack of self-control, family financial socialization, and investment awareness. Further, it investigates the moderating role of both family financial socialization and the lack of self-control in these relationships. Employing a quantitative study technique and partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), we analyzed a sample of 409 students representing young adults at King Faisal University, specifically in the School of Business. Our results indicate that financial literacy, saving behavior, and family financial socialization are significantly and positively related to investment awareness. Interestingly and as expected, a lack of self-control negatively and significantly affects investment awareness. For the moderating impact, it was found that the connection between financial literacy, saving behavior, and investment awareness is positively and strongly moderated by family financial socialization. Likewise, a lack of self-control significantly and negatively moderated the association between financial literacy, saving behavior, and investment awareness. The results of this study provide substantial implications for regulators, educational organizations, individuals, and their families.

This study examines how ESG disclosure (ESGD) influences firm value (FV) in Saudi Arabia. It also analyzes the moderating roles of audit committee (AC) characteristics and sustainability committees (SC) on this relationship. The sample consists of 100 top non-financial firms listed on the Saudi stock exchange (Tadawul) from 2015 to 2022, yielding 800 firm-year observations. Using pooled ordinary least squares (OLS), fixed effects regression, and GMM methods, the findings indicate a significant positive effect of ESGD on FV. Moreover, all AC characteristics and the sustainability committee positively and significantly strengthened this relationship. These findings carry important implications for investors, regulators, and corporate managers by highlighting how governance structures can influence financial performance, especially in emerging markets. This study contributes to the literature by expanding the discussion on the beneficial impact of AC characteristics and SC on FV within developing economies. Unlike earlier research that mainly focused on the direct link between ESGD and FV, this work underscores the role of governance factors in enhancing that relationship.
