Abstract

This study investigates the green behavior patterns of food micro-businesses in Ozamiz City, Philippines, employing exploratory factor analysis and K-means clustering to uncover behavioral typologies based on sustainable practices. Using survey data from 4,130 micro-businesses, two main behavioral dimensions emerged: Visible Operational Practices and Internal Efficiency. A subsequent cluster analysis identified three distinct groups: Sustainability-Oriented Enterprises, Moderate Green Practitioners, and an Isolated Minimalist. Results show that while many businesses demonstrate commendable environmental efforts, others exhibit partial or superficial engagement, highlighting the limitations of uniform sustainability policies. The resulting typology functions as a practical decision framework for policymakers and development practitioners by enabling differentiated interventions—such as advanced incentives and market-based support for sustainability-oriented enterprises, capacity-building and technical assistance for moderate practitioners, and foundational awareness, mentoring, and regulatory guidance for minimal adopters. By explicitly linking behavioral readiness to tailored policy and programmatic responses, this study moves beyond one-size-fits-all sustainability approaches and supports more efficient, context-sensitive, and scalable green enterprise development in developing economies.

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is gaining increasing importance in the hospitality industry, particularly in emerging markets where customers are becoming more attentive to social and environmental practices. However, the influence of CSR on the components of Customer-Based Brand Equity (CBBE) has not been sufficiently examined in the Ghanaian hotel sector. This study, therefore, investigates the effect of CSR initiatives on CBBE, focusing on four key dimensions: brand awareness, brand association, perceived quality, and brand loyalty, based on Aaker’s multidimensional brand equity framework. A quantitative research approach was employed using a structured questionnaire administered to 249 hotel customers in Kumasi, Ghana. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS and SmartPLS to test the hypothesized relationships between CSR and the four dimensions of CBBE. The findings reveal that CSR has a statistically significant and positive effect on brand awareness, brand association, perceived quality, and brand loyalty. These results suggest that CSR initiatives can strengthen customers’ perceptions of hotel brands and enhance overall brand equity in the hospitality context. Nevertheless, the study is limited to the hotel sector in Kumasi, Ghana, which restricts the broader generalizability of the findings. Future research could extend this work by examining other geographic regions, different hotel categories, and additional variables such as customer satisfaction or brand meaning to develop a more comprehensive model. This study contributes to the literature by empirically linking CSR to the development of customer-based brand equity in the Ghanaian hospitality industry. By integrating CSR into Aaker’s brand equity model, the study offers both theoretical insights and practical implications, highlighting how hotel managers can leverage CSR as a strategic tool to build strong, loyal brands in socially conscious markets.

Abstract

The study basically checked for the association between Cultural values of the Filipino and Social Entrepreneurship Intention among Generation Z learners, such as bayanihan and pakikipagkapwa–tao, with prosocial motivation acting as an intervening variable. The Quantitative Correlational study has imparted primary data collected by 910 Filipino Gen Z learners across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao using a Structured Survey and non-probability purposive sampling methods. Data was analyzed using Jamovi on descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and mediation analysis. Results indicate that the Formulation of cultural orientation and prosocial motivation was high, but possibly corresponding to social entrepreneurship intention. Both bayanihan and pakikipagkapwa–tao together significantly predict social entrepreneurship intention, according to the regression results, with the two ideologies collectively explaining 51.9% of its variance. According to the mediation analysis results, prosocial motivation significantly mediates the relationship between cultural indicators and entrepreneurial intentions, thereby underscoring its role in linking the two. The study adds to the body of knowledge by establishing a link between Filipino indigenous values and psychological mechanisms for discussing reasons to guide the youth in socially responsible enterprises. It therefore suggests that culture-rooted prosocial orientations are likely to outweigh other drivers of intention to engage in social entrepreneurship among Gen Z learners.
