“…The number of studies concluded that over 200 is a sufficient sample size to draw a logical conclusion [49]. In the cross-sectional comparative studies, there is a pattern to ensure fair representation is made about distinctive regions in order to have broader generalization as well as a logical conclusion [50][51][52][53]. Since the research focuses on the attainment of a global perspective, consumers from the UK, Canada, and Pakistan were targeted.…”

“…The greater value or equal to 0.7 for Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability is acceptable in social science studies [51]. Furthermore, Average Variance Extracted (AVE) obtained values greater than 0.5 reflects the validity of the scale's internal consistency [52]. In the present study, all three criteria were found to be acceptable as Cronbach alpha and composite reliability were greater than 0.7 while AVE was greater than 0.5 in all three countries ( Table 1, Figures 2-4).…”

“…In this study, all the obtained values are valid. The values of HTMT less than 1 reflect the constructs that have acceptable external validity [52,53,55]. Nunally [58] argued that the loading items should be above 0.7.…”

“…Therefore, the study considered Cramer's V, and the results showed that environmentalists in all considered economies have a small to moderate effect on greenwashing identification (Cramer's V: 0.352, 0.032 < 0.05; p < α; Table 8). Interestingly, the funnel approach, previously used by researchers [52][53][54]60], found that high environmentalists despite their claim for being highly skeptical, most frequently fall into the trap of identifying greenwashing products as sustainable. Using the same approach, the present study found that young consumers have less trust and find greenwashing problematic in comparison to older people.…”

Environmentally sustainable (green) products are frequently advertised to consumers, yet it is debatable whether the consumers are aware whether these green labelled products are environmentally friendly or not. Greenwashing is a phenomenon used by companies to sell their products. Through stratified (probability) and purposive and convenience (non-probability) sampling techniques, an online survey was circulated to gather information from 768 participants from the UK, Canada, and Pakistan to determine consumers' perspectives on subjects including awareness, trust, and effectiveness regarding greenwashed labelled products. The results were tested using the Chi-Square test for ranked data and structural equation modelling (SEM) for ordinal data. The study found that participants ranking themselves High environmentalists in comparison to Low and Moderate environmentalists, despite being skeptical, fall into the trap of identifying greenwashed products as sustainable. It has been proven that greenwashing negatively impacts the green purchasing behavior of the consumers. Participants reported that products are believed to be sustainable due to the overall perception of the product labelled as greenwashed. There is statistical evidence that purchase intent is not affected by greenwashing. It is also reported that younger people in comparison to older people have less trust and often believe greenwashing is problematic. Consumers were found to be vulnerable and more sensitive when their attention was drawn towards greenwashing. There is a need to educate consumers and improve policies to ensure consumers understand the real labels as greenwashed products are used in daily life.

“…The criteria in the path coefficient were assessed by considering t-value, which should be equal or greater than 1.96 at the 0.05 significance level. According to Imran, Haque & Rębilas (2018), the threshold t-value must be 1.96 while the probability value should be less than 0.05. Additionally, R2 reflects the regression or variability within the dependent variable caused by the consid-ered predictor .…”

A B S T R A C TThis comparative study examines the moderating role of risk management in project planning and project success in the construction business of the UK and Pakistan. The data was gathered from 152 project managers (76 from both economies each) using a survey questionnaire. The purposive sampling technique was used to ensure fair representation of sample size and the RAND formula was used to select the project managers. For quantitative analysis, partial least square structural equation modelling technique was utilised. The results confirmed that project planning had a statistically significant impact on project success. Furthermore, risk management significantly moderated the relationship between project planning and project success in the construction businesses despite being in two different economies. The paper contributes to the enhancement of the body of knowledge intended for global companies and academicians aiming to implement risk management frameworks to enhance project success and ensure the effectiveness of project planning in a competitive business environment. It offers a new perspective to investigate the relationship between project planning and project success through moderating the effect of risk management, which is a new theoretical dimension for construction business and the field of project management. It is proposed to the governments and construction businesses operating in the UK and Pakistan to validate the empirical research framework in the cross-cultural context while assessing risk and uncertainty. It helps the construction business in the evaluation of risk while planning and successfully implementing project strategies.
