“…Environmental strategy improves product quality, and with employee commitment, environmental performance will also be improved. Our findings also strengthen the argument that the behaviour and attitude of employees are critical for improving environmental performance [14,67,68]. Thus, when employees are motivated through green innovation strategies, then their creative process engagement is improved, leading to green innovative products [11].…”

The dilemma of firms in developing economies was the crux of this study. In probing whether the adoption of organization-wide green strategy would enhance the product quality and the firm’s financial lifeline, while also improving the environment, we developed a mediation model. The specific objectives were to ascertain the direct effect of green strategy on both environmental and financial performance and its total effect on both environmental and financial performance through product quality. With data collated and analyzed from 648 respondents, using the Hayes mediation approach, results show that while environmental performance is strongly predicted by green strategy and product quality (as a mediator), financial performance is also positively predicted, but by a smaller effect. The import of the findings of this study is that the adoption of green strategy mediated by product quality improves both environmental and financial performance, implying that firms can remain financially viable while adopting product-focused green strategy.

“…This study opens a new window for discussion and provides an exciting opportunity to advance our knowledge by testing the hypotheses of the present study in different domains of life. For instance, it would be fascinating to inspect whether one’s environmental passion can be transferred to another 64,65. In particular, it would be interesting to assess whether a teacher’s environmental passion can be transferred to a student.…”

PurposeResearch in the education domain has noted the importance of work-based passion and has repeatedly highlighted how passion influences positive work outcomes. However, far too little attention has been given to investigating whether one’s passion can be transferred to others. Using two theoretical lenses – crossover theory (CT) and emotional contagion theory (ECT) – the present study intends to deepen our understanding by examining whether a teacher’s work passion can be transferred to a student.MethodsTo address this knowledge gap, we recruited students and their subject teachers (n=226 teacher-student dyads) from the major business schools of Pakistan, based on the convenience sampling method, during the period from November to December 2018. An exploratory factor analysis was run to extract the dimension underlying each construct. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using AMOS 24.0 to assess the discriminant and convergent validity of the measurement model. The SPSS PROCESS macro was used to test the hypotheses using SPSS 24.0.ResultsConsistent with the hypotheses, our results show that a teacher’s work passion can be transferred to a student’s work passion indirectly via emotional contagion. Our data further establish that the transference of a teacher’s work passion to a student’s work passion via emotional contagion is more significant when the teacher is educated at PhD level than when she/he is non-PhD educated.ConclusionTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study has been one of the first attempts to thoroughly examine work passion transference from teachers to students in the area of higher education and offers several managerial and theoretical implications alongside future opportunities for practitioners and research scholars.

“…It deals with the issues of liability and what is wrong and what is right (Aarnio‐Linnanvuori, 2019). Academic research often perceives environmental responsibility as an individual duty, about which a person feels remorse if they consider the duty unfulfilled (Gilal, Ashraf, Gilal, Gilal, and Channa, 2019; Middlemiss, 2010). Environmental rights can be extended to upcoming generations, so the obligations of taking care, preserving the environment, and fulfillment of transference of environmental rights to future generations lie upon the shoulders of individuals currently benefiting from the environment (Fahlquist, 2009).…”

This research explores how environmental responsibility transfers to others. Although environmental responsibility is one of the most debated topics in environmental management literature, a framework describing how a teacher's environmental responsibility shapes the student's environmental responsibility is still lacking. Adopting emotional contagion theory as a lens, the paper addresses this issue via the mediation of emotional contagion and the moderation of a teacher's environmental concern. Based on a survey of teachers and students (N = 283) conducted in Pakistan, our findings provide evidence that a teacher's environmental responsibility can better transfer to students via emotional contagion. Additionally, our data establish that the transference of environmental responsibility from teachers to students via emotional contagion is more effective when the teacher has a high level of environmental concern than when he or she has a low level of environmental concern. Finally, the authors discuss the implications for policy in detail.
