“…Only factor with item loading of 0.7 or greater was retained in agreement with proposal made by Howell, Shea and Higgins (2005) [43]. To ensure individual reliability of the factors generated from the earlier factor analysis and CFA treatment, we opted for the usual rule of thumb that items should score greater than 0.7 on the Cronbach"s alpha measure of internal consistency (Barclay, Higgins & Thompson, 1995) [44].…”

Abstract-Environmental management system, EMS has been the most researched theme of late. Proponents of EMS claimed that EMS brings much benefit to organizations. However, most of the organizations are slow to adopt this new form of management. Employee's resistance to change has been cited by many as one of the impediments to EMS adoption. As such, employee's views must be sought to ensure successful adoption of EMS. 214 manufacturing firms were surveyed using the modified PORC instruments to access employee's perceptions of firm's implementation of EMS. Factor analysis conducted yielded four factors i.e. work impact, management support, implementation support and EMS survival; were found to have significant contribution towards EMS adoption. Recommendations were also provided to ensure better adoption of EMS in manufacturing firms.

Despite significant policy drives, the wide adoption of sustainable building (SB) is hindered by factors such as high upfront cost and long payback period. Business model (BM) innovation is therefore highly demanded to help SB professionals to cope with the challenges and convert the value of SB into profit. Nevertheless, few studies examined BM innovation in the building sector and factors influencing BM innovation for SB are unclear. This paper aims to identify the critical factors that propel companies to innovate BM for SB. First, a literature review and expert interviews were conducted to identify and filter the drivers for BM innovation within the SB context. Second, a questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data on the significance of the selected influencing factors from 132 SB professionals. Finally, a model based on fuzzy set theory was used to ascertain the critical factors influencing BM innovation for SB. Twenty-four critical influencing factors in six categories from the external environment and internal organization were finalized, namely, market and economic, policy and legislation, technology and industry structure, social-culture, entrepreneurship, and organizational learning. The findings illuminate the motivations when developing BM for sustainability and provide strategies on BM innovation for practitioners and policy makers.

“…[18,19] It is critical that educational materials, such as the CMUSON Faculty Nurse Champion developed, including the infographic and the extended text information, are accessible not only to nursing students, but also to nurses and all medical staff to ensure that the philosophy of patient-centered care is provided via interprofessional and collaborative work. [20] Because a champion is a "charismatic advocate of a belief, practice, program, policy and/or technology", [21] nursing faculty can be invaluable champion resources to gain and sustain the goals of promoting the awareness of FASD both for Chinese health providers and the public. The CMUSON Faculty Nurse Champion designed, disseminated, and distributed Mandarin Chinese FASD infographic, leaflets, and WeChat public information to impact thousands of Chinese health providers and the general public to increase awareness of FASD and its cause.…”

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) affects all communities and is an underestimated problem worldwide and in China. FASD is the most common preventable cause of intellectual disabilities and behavior problems. However, prevention efforts require knowledge about FASD, importantly, the education of health professionals who communicate that knowledge to the public during care administered in diverse practice settings. Implementing a nursing faculty champions (charismatic advocates for FASD prevention belief, practice, program, policy and/or technology) model to advocate for educating Chinese nurses, nursing students, other health professionals, and the public about FASD is a logical, quality-driven, healthcare action. The actions undertaken by one nurse champion, a Capital Medical University Chinese professor, to promote FASD awareness among Chinese health professionals and the public population will be presented. Through this faculty nurse champion, thousands of Chinese health providers and public citizens were educated regarding FASD. Planned next steps include enrolling more Chinese nursing faculty champions, developing nursing curricula at Capital Medical University, and increasing research attention on FASD. Nurse faculty champions are an effective and practical method to promote FASD awareness among Chinese health professionals and the public.
