Abstract

Purpose: This study is to offer a critical re-evaluation of the Green Transformational Leadership (GTL)–Green Product Innovation (GPI) relationship within SMEs in emerging economies, challenging the direct causality assumed in prior research. Theoretically, GTL, as a conceptual construct, lacks the mechanisms to produce a direct impact on GPI, a misconception widely propagated in earlier literature. As such, our study is to redirect such topical issues. In doing so, we also analysed green employee behavior (GEB) and green human resource management (GHRM) as intervening variables. Method: We distributed questionnaires into several SMEs operated in East Java, Indonesia. Result: Our empirical evidence strongly supports the proposed framework, suggesting no significant direct relationship between GTL and GPI and even showing a negative coefficient. However, when mediated by GHRM and GEB, the relationship becomes both positive and significant, indicating that these intervening variables are essential for realising the innovation potential of GTL. Furthermore, GTL partially fosters GHRM and GEB, while both GHRM and GEB positively influence GPI. These findings carry profound theoretical implications by refining the understanding of leadership’s role in sustainability practices and offering actionable insights for managers aiming to enhance green innovation through strategic HR and behavioural interventions.

Abstract

Higher education plays a crucial role in shaping future generations’ environmental awareness and actions. This study examines whether common university strategies, such green curriculum, green campaigns, and financial rewards, effectively encourage students’ pro-environmental behavior. Using survey data from 124 accounting students at a private university in Surabaya, Indonesia, we applied Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the relationships among these variables. The findings suggest that both green curriculum and green campaigns show positive yet statistically insignificant effects on students’ pro-environmental behavior. It indicates that exposure to sustainability concepts and awareness initiatives alone do not guarantee behavioral change. In contrast, financial rewards demonstrate a strong and significant positive effect. It means that tangible incentives can effectively motivate students to adopt and maintain eco-friendly habits. These results highlight the importance of combining intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, as well as embedding sustainability values into campus culture through practical engagement and institutional support. We believe that our study contributes to the ongoing debate on sustainability education by showing that well-designed reward systems can encourage pro-environmental behavior.

Abstract

This study aims to fill the theoretical and empirical gaps by investigating whether religiosity can serve as a moral counterforce to perceived risks, or whether corruption weakens its impact, leading to moral disengagement or rationalized silence. This study is unique in its use of Person-Organization fit theory as a conceptual framework. Data for this study were obtained through a structured questionnaire administered to Indonesian public servants. A purposive sampling strategy was employed to select specific local government institutions aligned with the study's objectives. A total of 157 valid responses were analyzed. For the empirical examination, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized as the primary analytical technique. These study findings indicate that religiosity has a positive influence on the internal whistleblowing system, suggesting that individuals with strong religious values are more likely to report misconduct. Conversely, corruption negatively affects internal whistleblowing, reinforcing the idea that corrupt environments discourage employees from speaking up. Interestingly, however, corruption does not moderate the relationship between religiosity and whistleblowing. These insights are particularly critical in the present times, as they demonstrate that while corruption weakens whistleblowing overall, it does not diminish the ethical influence of religiosity. This has important implications for policymakers and public institutions in Indonesia and beyond, as it highlights the need to strengthen whistleblowing mechanisms while recognizing the role of personal moral values in fostering ethical behavior.

Abstract

This study aims to reconstruct the adoption of the theory of planned behaviour for predicting entrepreneurial intentions by examining moral judgement as an intervening variable. This study is significant in the present times since there is flawed reasoning when analysing entrepreneurial intentions. Most people believe that entrepreneurial intention is a manifestation of social aspects or favourable or unfavourable evaluation of the behaviour of interest. As such, they formulate that those aspects directly affect entrepreneurial intentions. Within the current study, our analyses do not provide strong empirical evidence for such claims. It is documented that moral judgment becomes a mediator for the use of social aspects to predict entrepreneurial intentions. Then, this study also found that moral judgment is the best and closest predictor of entrepreneurial intentions. Therefore, our study proposes different directions to understand and predict entrepreneurial intentions.

Abstract

Abstract Aim: This study aims to examine how environmental literacy, green culture, and environmental awareness relate to pro-environmental awareness among university students in Indonesia. Method: A quantitative approach was applied using a structured questionnaire distributed randomly to 124 accounting students at a university in East Java. The questionnaire covered environmental literacy, green culture, environmental awareness, and pro-environmental awareness indicators. The data were analysed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) to test both measurement and structural models. Findings: The results show that green culture is the only variable that significantly influences pro-environmental behaviour, while environmental literacy and awareness do not show direct effects. Implications: The findings imply that strengthening campus culture is more effective than relying solely on environmental knowledge or awareness campaigns. Universities should focus on creating an institutional atmosphere that models sustainable values through visible practices, leadership commitment, and collective participation. Environmental literacy and awareness remain important, yet they must be integrated into daily routines and social norms to drive real behavioural change. In short, sustainability education should move beyond theory and be embedded into the culture of the institution to encourage lasting pro-environmental behaviour among students. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its clear evidence that pro-environmental behaviour among university students depends more on the shared cultural environment than on individual knowledge or awareness. While many earlier studies highlighted literacy and awareness as key drivers, this study shows that cultural influence through norms, values, and institutional engagement plays a stronger role in shaping actual behaviour. So, the study adds a fresh perspective to sustainability research and challenges the assumption that knowledge alone can lead to behavioural change.
