“…This is consistent with the notion of Bandura [47], who mentioned that a person's learning is caused by many components of the learning process, especially the person's ability. A prior study found that access to COVID-19 information and awareness of prevention measures and their benefits increases the likelihood of participating in more COVID-19 prevention measures [55].

Stakeholder accountability moves its actions through a complex situation, especially during an actual socio-economic crisis, where there is a significant impairment in terms of social cohesion and trust between people and institutions (Antinyan et al, 2021;Fikukova et al, 2021;Surina et al, 2021;Ye et al, 2021). The accountability of stakeholders means that a single person or a group of people operate for an individual initiative, without an institutional setting, following their own principles, intrinsic rules, and ethics (Salsbury et al, 2018).…”
