Abstract

Purpose- This study aims to provide an analytical framework that focuses on environmental knowledge as a mechanism through which social influence enhances pro-environmental behavior among university students. Design/Methodology- The research employed quantitative strategy, cross-sectional survey design, and systematic random sampling techniques to obtain data from a sample of 335 university students using a structured self-administered questionnaire. The study hypotheses were tested using Hayes Process Macro vs. 3.5 (Model 4). Findings- Results indicate that social influence strongly impacts students’ environmental knowledge, and both variables significantly predict pro-environmental behavior. Environmental knowledge was discovered to be the strongest predictor of pro-environmental behavior among students. Finally, results show that environmental knowledge mediates the relationship between social influence and pro-environmental behavior, revealing a complimentary mediation model superior to the direct effect model. Originality- These findings reveal that social influence and students’ environmental knowledge have a strong influence in cultivating students’ pro-environmental behavior. Furthermore, the complementary mediation model, which shows superior results than the direct effect model, contributes to the body of knowledge and offers new insights into theory and practice. Practical Implications- Environmental sustainability may be positioned as a social trend by government and business agencies, such as a promotional campaign, workshops, and training to demonstrate and raise awareness about environmental issues.

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of financial structure on microfinance firms’ financial sustainability. The study utilized panel data from 32 Microfinance Institutions (MFIs), resulting in 320 firm-year observations for the period of 2010-2019. The dataset was obtained from MIX market, a global database that collects self-reported information from MFIs. The study used a battery of panel data regression methods to test the hypotheses. The regression analysis indicated a statistically significant negative association between debts and donations and the financial sustainability of MFIs in Kenya. In contrast, there was a positive relationship between deposits and equity and the sustainability of microfinance firms in Kenya. Therefore, MFIs are strongly advised to prioritize internal financing in order to achieve financial sustainability. In addition, it is advisable for MFIs to avoid excessive dependence on donations and commercial funding, as these sources of funds often come with strict requirements and conditions that could impede their progress towards achieving financial stability. The results of this study can offer valuable insights to MFIs managers and regulators in formulating financing strategies that can assist MFIs in achieving financial sustainability.
