“…The authors consider this result as indicating that entrepreneurial intention is not as deep or genuine as sustainable entrepreneurial attitude, and that it is formal, superficial, and not fundamental. Individual values have to be reinforced by social relationships with people who wish to pursue this complex goal, and in this case there is an important contribution from social support by family, friends, and colleagues, also reinforcing the perceived control in managing these activities [126]. Entrepreneurs of this kind have to be encouraged and supported by institutions and, beyond their personal resilience, should receive positive reinforcement from their family, friends, and colleagues.…”

In this paper, the authors aim to analyze entrepreneurial intention and focus on sustainable entrepreneurial strategies, which consider the responsible use of resources while avoiding the strong exploitation of materials and workers, and which use a long-term approach. This consideration is important in the current era, especially when considering that the incorrect hypercompetitive approaches implemented among business organizations in recent years have caused many problems around the world both ecologically and socio-economically. In this research, the authors administered questionnaires to 743 university students. These questionnaires measured considerations of future consequences, considerations of immediate consequences, environmental awareness, personal norms for acting in a pro-environmental way, sustainable entrepreneurial attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. When combining these independent, dependent, and moderating variables, it emerged that considerations of future consequences, considerations of immediate consequences, environmental awareness, and personal norms for acting in a pro-environmental way have a positive influence on sustainable entrepreneurial attitudes; the authors also considered the influence on the other variables, and it was determined that sustainable entrepreneurial attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control have a positive influence on sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. Using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), all of the proposed hypotheses were verified, with the exception of influence between entrepreneurial attitudes and sustainable entrepreneurial intentions.

“…Examples of the behavior of others driving employee sabotage is the customer‐employee interaction in the service sector (Chi, Tsai, & Tseng, 2013; Skarlicki, Van Jaarsveld, & Walker, 2008). As previously described if employees perceive they are victims of injustice or inequality, this can be a leading motivational factor in the incidence of workplace deviance as can a sense of powerlessness or lack of autonomy (Manning, 2019a), personality traits in the individual and the work context (Chi et al., 2013). Therefore, if the antecedents of such behavior are known (see Table 8), the potential for an employee to exhibit destructive deviant behavior could be identified through a series of warning indicators or signals.…”

Compliance is the act or status of complying with an imperative regulatory or normative requirement, that is, compliance means working within boundaries defined by contractual, social, or cultural standards. The aim of this narrative review is to use the food supply chain as a lens of enquiry to distinguish between compliance-based and integrity-based organizational climates and frame and rationalize why deviant behavior arises and how it can be identified. Contemporary theory is explored and critiqued using case studies to contextualize the challenge of organizations promoting supply chain compliance and at the same time recognizing the need for deviant behavior to occur in order to drive innovation and continuous improvement within food supply chains. Deviant behavior can be perceived as either positive in terms of driving continuous improvement or destructive where this behavior has a negative impact on the organization. Although multiple cultural maturity models seek to characterize positive food safety culture and climate, there is minimal research that focuses on the characterization of deviant negative behavior or the development of early warning systems designed to pinpoint signals, traits, or characteristics of this behavior such as low staff morale, theft, property destruction, or absenteeism. The use of cultural maturity models and assessment tools is of value in assisting organizations to translate from a rule, instrumental, or compliance-based organizational climate to an ethically strong organizational climate that focuses on integrity, building trust, and values and a new cultural maturity model is proposed and explored.

“…Large-scale changes do not happen at the individual household level but rather by looking at industries and the resources available to the industry as a whole [42]. The transition of the food system is complex and requires change on numerous levels [43]. Therefore, it is useful to concentrate on the food industry, its available resources, and the environment it provides for innovations to thrive.…”

Transforming the German Food System: How to Make Start-Ups Great!

et al. 2022

The food system represents a key industry for Europe and Germany in particular. However, it is also the single most significant contributor to climate and environmental change. A food system transformation is necessary to overcome the system’s major and constantly increasing challenges in the upcoming decades. One possible facilitator for this transformation are radical and disruptive innovations that start-ups develop. There are many challenges for start-ups in general and food start-ups in particular. Various support opportunities and resources are crucial to ensure the success of food start-ups. One aim of this study is to identify how the success of start-ups in the food system can be supported and further strengthened by actors in the innovation ecosystem in Germany. There is still room for improvement and collaboration toward a thriving innovation ecosystem. A successful innovation ecosystem is characterised by a well-organised, collaborative, and supportive environment with a vivid exchange between the members in the ecosystem. The interviewees confirmed this, and although the different actors are already cooperating, there is still room for improvement. The most common recommendation for improving cooperation is learning from other countries and bringing the best to Germany.
