“…Thus, well-educated individuals are more inclined to be religious and have advanced green and environmental concerns. This finding is consistent with earlier literature, which suggests that personal values, religious awareness and spiritual engagement would indicate consumers' inclination to engage in a certain behaviour (Mohezar et al, 2016;Usman et al, 2022;Baber, 2021;Almond and Mallette, 2020).

“…The RIM (Hidayat et al, 2015) and ITCB (Khan, 1986) both underline how important religion is in determining the popularity of Islamic goods and services. Likewise, a wealth of evidence from the literature (Mohezar et al, 2016;Usman et al, 2022;Baber, 2021;Almond and Mallette, 2020) has been cited in support of the influence of religion on individual behaviour.

“…To explore the impact of these dimensions on consumer behaviour, some researchers have operationalised religiosity as a multidimensional notion underpinned by the interpersonal and intrapersonal dichotomy of religiosity (Zaman et al, 2018;Baber, 2021). Other researchers have operationalised religiosity by examining only the religious rituals (Amin et al, 2011;Ji, 2020;Gebauer and Sedikides, 2021) or the experiential dimension (Kusumawardhini et al, 2016;Almond and Mallette, 2020). They had disregarded the multi-dimensional scale for measuring the ideological, ritualistic, intellectual, consequential and experimental dimensions which express religious belief and practice in its entirety.…”

Purpose A significant dilemma facing humankind in the present time is environmental degradation. To alleviate the pressure on natural resources, green banking (GB) has been acknowledged as an effective solution. However, creating consumer engagement is still challenging for banks. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of religiosity on GB adoption among Muslim consumers. Design/methodology/approach The deductive approach was used to explain how GB adoption is affected by the religiosity of the consumer. A total of 332 sample data were collected cross-sectionally from Islamic bank customers in the UAE. Partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) via Smart PLS 4 was used to analyse the data. Five dimensions (i.e. ideological, ritualistic, intellectual, consequential and experimental) were used to measure religiosity which served as the independent variable. Customer intention to adopt GB represents the dependent variable. Findings The PLS-SEM results revealed that Islamic religiosity affects the adoption of GB among Muslim consumers. Indeed, their religious commitment and beliefs affect the products they intend to adopt and how they intend to do it. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is a pioneering study in the investigation of Islamic religiosity and its influence on the intention to adopt GB. This is a pioneering study in the sense that it proposes a comprehensive religiosity construct using five intertwined dimensions in the literature of GB. This study offers an improved and broader insight assessment of Islamic religiosity, which would help emphasise its significance and utility for business-related decisions by developing an emotionally-driven link between GB practices and the Muslim-oriented consumer market towards increasing the latter’s engagement.

“…To begin with, much of CSWs nowadays is negotiated with clients and they are facilitated through online spaces. These are known as off-street sex workers (Reynolds, 2021;Giommoni et al, 2021;Vlase and Preoteasa, 2021;Mergenthaler and Yasseri, 2021;Wang et al, 2022;Almond and Mallette, 2022). In addition, adult entertainment platforms have become very convenient to both the sex sellers and their clientele in a number of countries, including Uganda (Hill and Lee, 2021).…”

There is great anxiety that present day urban authorities are not considering the amount of heterosexual activities that are neither among legitimately married couples nor casually relating friends. This anxiety has brought much pressure onto the civil society that aims to promote morality in society in addition to the religious bodies that aim to encourage positive morals among their congregates. Yet, the extent to which commercial sex work is capable of increasing the level of urban tourism in the 21st century is fascinating. Bearing in mind the different challenges and the proof of dearth of statistics on commercial sex work in Uganda, the emphasis of this paper is on how urban authorities can exploit the growing industry of commercial sexual activities to enhance urban tourism. Through an intensive review of available literature, this paper has established that commercial sexual activities are one of the central tourist attraction products in a number of urban areas in Uganda even though it lacks official documentation. Consequently, neither the urban authorities nor the tourism agency cares paying attention to the huge tourism potential hidden in the commercial sex industry. It is encouraged that urban authorities document the number of participants in commercial sex work so that they can be used to enhance urban tourism. This study is useful to urban authorities and other key stakeholders working with urban populations particularly at a time when nations are turning to domestic tourism.
