“…As emphasized by Saunders, Lewis [ 60 ] and corroborated by Sarstedt, Ringle [ 72 ], the concept of Average Variance Extracted (AVE) serves as a measure that encapsulates the extent of variation captured by a construct relative to the variance stemming from measurement errors. To establish robust convergence, it is strongly recommended that an AVE of at least 0.50 be attained [ 60 , 65 , [72] , [73] , [74] ]. Notably, as articulated by Hair, Hult [ 65 ], an AVE below 0.50 signifies that survey items contribute more to errors than to the variance within the constructs.…”

This paper delves into the strategic dimensions influencing the adoption of environmental innovations (EIs) in small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) in Mexico City. Employing a mixed-methods approach combining documentary analysis and expert interviews, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of integrating EI practices in the context of manufacturing SMEs. Qualitative methodology was chosen to explore experiences, perceptions, and practices related to EI adoption, acknowledging its ability to capture the complexity and richness of data. Through systematic literature review and semi-structured interviews with Corporate Social Responsibility experts, causal relationships and key factors influencing EI adoption were identified. The data analysis involved constructing causal maps and applying the Viable System Model to comprehend the interactions and dynamics within the organizational systems.

“…Another example is the article (Hatmanu et al, 2019), in which the importance of factors influencing environmental responsibility in SMEs was estimated, where the analyses were carried out for enterprises at different levels of socioeconomic development. In turn, in the article (Hasan, Rahman, 2023), the authors examined the key factors that support eco-innovation initiatives in SMEs. They analysed the criteria of sustainable development, i.e., economic, environmental, and social.…”

The originality of the conducted research lies in a holistic approach to analysing entrepreneurs' satisfaction, identifying statistical relationships between satisfaction and diverse economic behaviours, and exploring the role of emotions in making business decisions. This collectively provides a new perspective on the behavioral finance of businesses. Literature reviewEmotions play a significant role in the process of making business decisions. Despite the common tendency to focus on data and facts analysis, it is emotions, both conscious and hidden, that influence the shaping of strategies, the selection of business partners, and the willingness to take risks. Entrepreneurs, considering their personal emotions, introduce a subjective element into the decision-making process, which can lead to both successes and failures.The origin of the word "emotion" derives from the Latin verb "motere," meaning "to move".However, to fully understand the meaning of this term, it is worth noting the prefix "e-", suggesting something more than just movement or stirringit may indicate an additional, extended, or surpassing basic activity. This prefix indicates that emotions have a tendency to act or react (Goleman, 1997, p. 27). Emotions are not only associated with experiencing specific mental states but also with a tendency to evoke particular behaviors or reactions. They are deeply embedded within a person and often guide their actions and influence the decisions made.According to D. Goleman, emotions can be defined as a complex blend of feelings and thoughts that are associated with specific psychological states and biological reactions of the organism. These emotional states, along with predispositions to action, constitute an integral part of the human heritage passed down to us by evolution (Goleman, 1997, p. 442). D. Goleman asserts that emotions essentially serve as stimuli shaping an individual's readiness for action. These are rapid life-saving or life-sustaining plans embedded in our psyche by evolutionary history. Emotional reactions triggered by various situations, such as fear, joy, anger, or sadness, not only influence human thoughts and feelings but also activate instincts and prepare individuals to take appropriate actions at the given moment. Therefore, comprehending emotions is crucial for a better understanding of human behaviour and responses in various life situations.Another renowned psychologist, R. Lazarus, proposes a more intricate approach to emotions. He contends that emotions result from an individual's appraisal of a situation, rather than being merely reactions to specific stimuli. According to his theory, emotions are more
