“…Particularly in the case of inadequate manpower in epidemic areas, mechanistic and process-oriented indoctrination of standards does not allow food practitioners to develop subjective standards but instead causes them to become numb or even overwhelmed in response to such stimuli. This finding is consistent with Yin et al (2017) that government guidance has a slight influence on the public's willingness to conduct whistleblowing actions [49,50].…”

“…largely shapes employees' willingness to blow the whistle, during the COVID-19 prevention phase, the government should take full advantage of the positive effects of the regulatory results to guide whistleblowers to bravely point out food quality issues, thereby reducing governance costs and forming a virtuous cycle. Some studies have shown that government measures and feedback incentives play an important role in increasing the public's motivation to participate in pro-social behavior [50]. Thus, a feedback mechanism for food safety reporting may help to guide potential whistleblowers to develop a positive attitude towards food safety reporting and to increase their awareness of being involved in food safety reporting.…”

Online food delivery increases dramatically during the COVID-19 era and has grown into a global marketplace worth more than $150 billion dollars, necessitating a more effective and responsive governance system. Public-private governance systems with whistleblowing to the public are seen as an effective tool for addressing the formidable challenges of food security in modern society. Accordingly, this study aims to explore the determinants of whistleblowing intentions and to propose policy policies for the whistleblowing system to fully utilize the advantages of public-private governance systems. Through empirical research, this paper finds that employees’ perceived effectiveness of government authorities, as well as their familiarity with whistleblowing systems, positively affect their intentions to blow the whistle. However, the whistleblowing intent of restaurant employees is adversely affected by the online platform’s focus. The root cause lies in the employee’s trust in both the government sector and corporate sector. This study thus argues that a suite of measures to promote individual trust in public-private governance systems is desired and that this is an effective means of better mitigating food safety governance challenges in terms of capacity and resources.

“…There is also a growing interest in research on consumers’ pro-environmental behavior in developing and emerging economies, as researchers have suggested that some global problems, such as plastic pollution, stem predominantly from developing countries (Chaudhary et al , 2021). Recent pro-environmental research examined work in Indonesia (Tamar et al , 2020), Malaysia (Shahrin et al , 2020), India (Mohanty et al , 2021) and Ghana (Amoah and Addoah, 2021), to name only a few. These countries are equally important in the achievement of the 2030 goals, with some questioning whether developing countries will achieve these targets (Asadullah et al , 2020).…”

Purpose To achieve the UN’s 2030 agenda, consumers will need to behave more responsibly and make less environmentally harmful purchases. This study aims to investigate the antecedents of consumers’ pro-environmental purchase intentions based on a range of motivating (i.e. attitudes, locus of control) and inhibiting factors (i.e. apathy and myopia) for a low-involvement product. It also tests the moderating effect of the greenness of a low-involvement product (green vs nongreen) on the consumer’s pro-environmental purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach An online panel survey of 679 Turkish consumers was used. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships. Findings The results suggest that while inhibiting factors (i.e. apathy and myopia) may not directly impede such purchase intentions, they could prevent consumers from considering the environmental characteristics of low-involvement products. Practical implications The insights are expected to assist marketers and policymakers to understand consumer psychological mechanisms when encouraging and promoting pro-environmental behavior in the context of low-involvement purchases, enhancing consumers contributing to the 2030 objectives. Originality/value This study examines the role of inhibiting factors behind the purchase of low-involvement goods. It also tests the moderating effect of the greenness of a low-involvement product on pro-environmental purchase intentions.

“…One function that can activate households' PBCN is connected to technology-related technicalities. PBCN strongly affects households' desire to purchase innovative technologies such as EFTs (Mohanty et al, 2021). It has been viewed that, in order to use new technologies, a person must have accessibility to the means necessary to repair and purchase technologies such as EFTs (Lou et al, 2021).…”

Since employing environmentally friendly technologies (EFTs) is a complicated and difficult process that is affected by multiple factors, researchers are encouraged to explore those influence factors. This research aims to estimate the households’ perception factors affecting the adoption intentions of EFTs. Based on a questionnaire survey from 782 Pakistani households, a structural equation modeling strategy yields empirical results. The main findings are: firstly, the drivers of adoption intention of EFTs include technological awareness, perceived environmental importance, perceived behavioral control, and perceived benefits. Secondly, significant barriers to the adoption intention of EFTs involve the perceived cost of EFTs and the perceived risk-averse behavior of households. Thirdly, among all factors, perceived environmental importance reveals the most substantial contribution, whereas perceived risk-averse behavior shows the least contribution to the adoption intention of EFTs. Finally, given these results, strengthening the financial benefits, controlling the roaring cost of EFTs, and the provision of rebates and subsidization are suggested to upscale the adoption intention of EFTs by the households.
