Business culture is shifting rapidly as a result of discussions emphasizing green entrepreneurship, which emphasizes ecological sustainability. Sustainable entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in predicting economic growth in a world where enterprise is driven by climate change and environmental degradation. Despite the positive contributions of eco-friendly corporate operations, there is still limited knowledge about sustainable entrepreneurial intentions and their environmental value. Current research examines the impact of attitudes toward sustainable entrepreneurship, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms, as well as environmental value on sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. The study uses survey responses from 418 students in Lahore and Faisalabad, Pakistan, and evaluates a revised version of the theory of planned behavior using structural equation modeling. The findings of the study suggest that environmental value has a direct and indirect impact on attitudes towards sustainable entrepreneurship, and perceived behavioral control and environmental value support sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. However, subjective norms were found to be insignificant in influencing sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, this study explores the connection between environmental values, attitudes towards sustainable entrepreneurship, and how perceived behavioral control is moderated by entrepreneurial experience. Entrepreneurs with prior experience might expect a stronger correlation between their environmental values and their desire to launch a sustainable venture. Policymakers and managers need to prioritize the development of ecological values and sustainable entrepreneurial intentions to support the growth of sustainable enterprises. The findings have significant implications for developing effective strategies to foster sustainable development in businesses.

Sustainable entrepreneurial opportunity recognition and action are strongly linked to a person’s desire to succeed. Therefore, entrepreneurial intentions are increasingly being studied from a sustainable development viewpoint. By integrating the theory of human values into the theory of planned behavior, the goal of this study was to investigate how values interact with sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. In all, 465 graduate students from Punjab, Pakistan, were interviewed for this study. The findings reveal that students’ entrepreneurial intentions are supported by views toward sustainable entrepreneurship, societal norms, and perceived behavioral control. According to structural equation modeling, self-transcendence and self-enhancement are the personal values that directly or indirectly interact with sustainable entrepreneurial intentions, which is consistent with the findings of the present study. Accordingly, the TPB model may help identify the relationship between sustainable entrepreneurship values and aims and the role of personal values in terms of understanding sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. As a practical implication, according to this study, it is essential to emphasize the importance of personal values in the education of potential entrepreneurs to increase their sustainable entrepreneurial intentions.

Electric vehicles have been identified as a viable option for optimization of the energy structure to foster energy conservation and a reduction in emissions, as well as to promote the development of a sustainable economy. Recently, China announced that the financial subsidies for electric vehicles will be gradually withdrawn, and many incentive policies will be revised, indicating that the electric vehicle market has transformed from a policy-driven to a market-driven structure. Therefore, we study the elements affecting consumers’ purchase intention in the early stage of electric vehicle availability to provide a theoretical reference that can be used in China to continue to stimulate market diffusion of electric vehicles based on the innovation diffusion theory and planned behavior theory. The current study explains the associations among the innovation characteristics, perceived risk, and purchase intention in relation to electric vehicles and details the moderating effect of lifestyle on fashion consciousness, environmental consciousness, and price consciousness. This paper investigates 529 potential consumers in Beijing, Shanghai, and other places, and AMOS and SPSS were used to perform quantitative analyses. The results show that innovation characteristics exert an obvious effect on purchase intention based on the mediating variable of perceived risk. Fashion consciousness significantly moderates the relationship between relative advantage and perceived risk, and environmental consciousness has a significant influence on the relationship between technology compatibility and perceived risk. Price consciousness plays the smallest role in this process. In practice, the findings suggest that practitioners can promote electric vehicle consumer purchase intention by using psychological activation techniques to improve the attitude and educational interest in relation to this product. It is also suggested that, as part of the strategy, government services should be improved.
