“…Second, CFA results also reported that the five-factor measurement model with 36 items represented a great fit: χ 2 (500) = 1383.495; χ 2 /df= 2.767; p < 0.001; GFI = 0.903; AGFI = 0.885; CFI = 0.972; TLI =0.968; NFI = 0.956, and RMSEA = 0.047 (Hair et al, 2020;Szostek et al, 2020; (Figure 2). Moreover, Figure 2 showed that the standardized regression weights of all items were much higher than the cut-off values of 0.5 (Nguyen et al, 2022).…”

The research aims to adopt a serial moderation mediation model to investigate the serial indirect effects of entrepreneurial education and the moderation impacts of entrepreneurial government policies and programmes on entrepreneurial attitude-intention-behaviour links and tighten the attitude-intention-behaviour gap in the entrepreneurial area. Research Design & Methods:A sample of 802 master students from nine universities/institutions in Vietnam and structural equation modelling (SEM) were employed to test developed hypotheses. Findings: The research demonstrates that attitude towards entrepreneurship played a more important role than entrepreneurial intention in sculpting start-up behaviour. Entrepreneurial education not only has direct effects on entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviours, but it also has serial mediation effects on entrepreneurial behaviour via two mediators, including entrepreneurial attitudes and intention. Moreover, entrepreneurial government policies and programmes were found to significantly reinforce the entrepreneurial attitude-intention-behaviour linkages. Implications & Recommendations:The findings of this research offer valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners who wish to encourage individuals' entrepreneurial activities. Contribution & Value Added:The research is expected to significantly contribute to entrepreneurship literature by indicating the serial mediation effects of entrepreneurial education on entrepreneurial behaviour, the moderation impacts of entrepreneurial government policies and programmes, and closing the entrepreneurial attitude-intention-behaviour gap.

“… Ouyang et al (2022) further confirmed that SWB has a positive impact on both private PEBs and public PEBs among residents of rural China. Nguyen et al (2022) divided SWB into psychological wellbeing and social wellbeing, and used data from Vietnam to prove that two different types of wellbeing both can promote individuals’ pro-environmental consumption behaviors. Nevertheless, the available literature is focused on adults and research on the adolescents has yet to be explored.…”

“…A great deal of research has been conducted by scholars around the relationship between SWB and PEBs. Previous studies have focused on whether the correlation between the two is significant ( Kushlev et al, 2020 , 2021 ; Nguyen et al, 2022 ). There is also some literature that further explores how SWB affect PEBs and what the mechanisms of action between the two are ( Wang and Kang, 2019 ; Ouyang et al, 2022 ).…”

“…However, it has been argued that these models ignore the potential influence of emotions on behaviors ( Kim et al, 2013 ; Han et al, 2017 ; Tian and Liu, 2022 ). Recently, an emerging school of thought has explored the impact of subjective wellbeing (SWB) on PEBs from a positive psychology perspective ( Sulemana, 2016 ; Wang and Kang, 2019 ; Kushlev et al, 2021 ; Nguyen et al, 2022 ; Ouyang et al, 2022 ). Specifically, there is a significant correlation between people’s SWBs and their PEBs.…”

A large number of existing studies have discussed the potential factors affecting pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) in adolescents. However, few studies have focused on the possible impact of adolescents’ subjective wellbeing (SWB) on their PEBs. Why and how adolescents’ SWB affects their PEBs remains a puzzle. To unravel this puzzle, this paper aims to establish a suitable instrumental variable (IV) to correctly estimate the contribution of adolescents’ SWB to their PEBs. Using the international data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ‘s Programme for International Student Assessment 2018, we construct a unique dataset of eight countries or economies, which includes 56,374 samples related to the SWB and PEBs of 15-year-old students. In this paper, the days of physical education classes in school per week are used as the IV. Through a two-stage least squares method, we find that the contribution of adolescents’ SWB to PEBs is significantly positive. We also find that the pathway by which SWB improves PEBs works through adolescents’ self-efficacy. Furthermore, the results indicate that the positive impact of SWB on PEBs is more pronounced among adolescents with better peer relationships and stronger multicultural values. Our findings highlight the influence of positive affects in cultivating adolescent’ PEBs and the importance of growing up surrounded by happiness.

“…Empirically, purchase intention or willingness to pay has been a central concept to understanding behavioural motivation in various marketing fields such as green marketing (Zhao et al, 2018;Saut and Saing, 2021;Nguyen et al, 2022;Mai et al, 2017), consumer purchase for luxury brands and products (Park et al, 2021), B2B organizational behaviours (Wei and Ho, 2019), or online purchase behaviour (Akram et al, 2021). Likewise, consumers' willingness to pay for green building apartments has been studied by many scholars in green building development (e.g.…”

PurposeThis study examines the motivational forces of self-transcendence and self-enhancement values in consumers' green apartment purchase intention since the values have been seen as the key determinants of environmental beliefs and concerns that motivate pro-environmental behaviour adoption amongst consumers regardless of external barriers. Additionally, this study identifies the role of environmental content in strengthening the effects of self-transcendence value.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data were collected from 234 residents of three high-rise apartment buildings in Hanoi, Vietnam. Measure reliability and validity were tested by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) before hierarchical ordinal least squares regression (OLS) was conducted to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe research results reveal a significant positive relationship between self-transcendence value and consumers' green apartment purchase intention. However, environmental problem-related content exposure was found to weaken the effect of self-transcendence value on the purchase intention whilst the effect was reported to be strengthened by pro-environmental action-related content exposure.Originality/valueTheoretically, this study emphasizes the importance of interaction effects between external factors and personal values in explaining consumer's decisions and behaviours. Practically, the research results provide valuable insights for marketers and developers into fostering the adoption of green building apartments amongst consumers.
