How to Improve Environment Performance? The Comparison of Stakeholder Perceptions on How to Improve Air Quality in China

Abstract

The air quality and carbon neutrality strategies in China has attracted the growing concern of multiple stakeholders. Through face-to-face surveys conducted in five major cities in North China, we compared the stakeholders’ perceptions. Our research reveals conflicting perceptions among stakeholders. On the one hand, local authorities and academics prefer to focus on market-based regulation to prevent air pollution. Enterprise managers, however, do not want to be regulated. On the other hand, social groups expect more information about air pollution to be released, but local authorities do not see releasing that information as a top priority. These differences of perceptions can actually be useful in terms of policymaking.

The Influence of Platform Leadership on Innovation Performance of Knowledge Workers: From the Perspective of Organizational Resilience and Innovation Self-Efficacy

“…Secondly, most scholars focus on the conduction mechanism between the two from the perspective of employee psychology, and pay little attention to the perspective of organizational or individual competence.

Therefore, it is necessary to explore the important process mechanism between the two from the perspective of competence.…”

Influencing factors of air-quality perception in China: What is constructed? What is hidden?

“…During the past 10 years, many studies have concerned AQP in China (Shi, 2015;Guo et al, 2016;Brimblecombe and Zong, 2019;Zhang and Zhao, 2019). Numerous factors are found to be correlated with AQP, including multiple stakeholders, industrial facilities, vehicles and city constructions, among others (Liu, 2022). Moreover, AQP has influences on destination image, tourists, urban settlement intentions, and health effects and concerns (Lan et al, 2016;Becken et al, 2017;Reames and Bravo, 2019;Yao et al, 2022) and, moreover, influences selfprotection demands and migration, among other factors (Li and Tilt, 2018;Tu and Zhao, 2021).…”
