“…Moreover, compared to the linear economy, the SCs that contribute to the circular economy is more vulnerable (Roy et al ., 2022; Upadhyay et al ., 2022). For this reason, to eliminate the devastating effects of COVID-19, SC performance measurements should be examined within the circular economy framework (Chhatwani et al ., 2022). Therefore, the circular-SCOR model is proposed in this study, as explained in the next section.…”

“…Circular SCs can be defined as the use of these materials as inputs in manufacturing new products (Agrawal et al ., 2021), considering the unlimited use of materials, unlike the approach where the lifespan of the materials that make up the products is terminated in incineration or storage facilities (Bruyninckx et al ., 2021; Jæger et al ., 2021). In particular, to eliminate the devastating effects of COVID-19, the necessity of adopting a circular economy instead of a linear economy has come to the fore (Chhatwani et al ., 2022; Roy et al ., 2022).…”

“…Since there have been changes in the concepts that should be considered in SC performance measurement with COVID-19 (Ye et al ., 2022; Muhammad et al ., 2022), in SC performance measurements in the manufacturing industry, it is necessary to consider both the adoption of the circular economy and the changes in the criteria that need to be addressed for performance measurement (Chhatwani et al ., 2022). The importance of SC performance measurement has increased with the impacts of COVID-19, and COVID-19 has caused many effects on SC management and various problems such as shortage of raw materials, logistics delays, etc.…”

PurposeCOVID-19 is a global event affecting supply chain operations and human health. With COVID-19, many issues in business models, business processes and supply chains, especially in the manufacturing industry, have had to change. The ability to analyze supply chain performances and ensure circularity in supply chains has become one of the factors whose importance has increased rapidly with COVID-19. Therefore, it aims to determine which supply chain performance criteria come to the fore for the company under consideration to accelerate the transformation into high performance and circularity in supply chains.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, a new circular-SCOR model is proposed, and 17 supply chain performance measurement criteria are prioritized for a manufacturing company in the context of circular economy principles during COVID-19 by using stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis and analytical hierarchy process method, separately.FindingsAs a result, for both methods, in the case study discussed, the demand fulfillment rate is determined as the most prominent criterion in line with the circular economy principles in the COVID-19 period in manufacturing supply chains.Originality/valueIt is expected that this study will contribute to managers and policy makers as it addresses the “new normal” that started after COVID-19 and the criteria to be considered in supply chain performance measurement and emphasizes the need to adopt circular supply chains, especially in manufacturing industries.

“…According to the existing literature, some studies have probed into the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and entrepreneurial psychology ( Backman et al, 2021 ; Mustafa et al, 2021 ; Torres et al, 2021 ; Chhatwani et al, 2022 ; Sornsenee et al, 2022 ). For instance, a survey of 816 SMEs’ entrepreneurs by Lathabhavan (2022a) finds that economic difficulties and financial threats caused by the pandemic are main causes of anxiety, pressure and depression among entrepreneurs.…”

“…First, from the perspective of research object, the researches regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on entrepreneurs’ psychology focus more on SMEs ( Chhatwani et al, 2022 ; Sornsenee et al, 2022 ; Lathabhavan, 2022a ), and less on entrepreneurs of EFs . Moreover, EFs play a crucial role in job creation, radical innovation, and long-term growth ( OECD, 2020 ), yet since at a fragile stage in their life cycle, they may be more vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic ( Benedetti-Fasil et al, 2022 ), and its founders are more likely to experience psychological problems.…”

The entrepreneurial firms may be more vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the entrepreneurs of entrepreneurial firms are also threatened by the revenues decline and business failure, which vehemently affect their well-being. The mental health of the entrepreneur decides whether the entrepreneurial firms can make the right decision, which is related to the healthy development of the entrepreneurial firms. Based on the event system theory and the cognitive appraisal theory, this paper aims to explore the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on the entrepreneur anxiety, and the threat perception and performance pressure are introduced to investigate the mediating mechanism and boundary of this effect. Using the simple random sampling to obtain questionnaire survey data, 168 entrepreneurs of entrepreneurial firms have participated in the empirical study, and the research results are as follows. First, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly positively affects entrepreneur anxiety. Second, the entrepreneur threat perception plays a mediating role between the COVID-19 pandemic and the entrepreneur anxiety, which means the COVID-19 pandemic can enhance the external threat perception of entrepreneurs, and then affect the entrepreneur anxiety. Third, the positive effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the entrepreneur anxiety is strengthened by the entrepreneur performance pressure, while the positive effect of entrepreneur threat perception on entrepreneur anxiety is weakened by the entrepreneur performance pressure. The above findings are helpful to explore the mechanism of the COVID-19 pandemic and other critical crisis events on entrepreneurs’ mental health from the new perspective of cognitive appraisal theory and event system theory, filling the research gaps between the COVID-19 pandemic and entrepreneur anxiety. Besides, this study broadens the applied range of the cognitive appraisal theory and the event system theory in the fields of crisis situations and entrepreneur research, and enriches the research outputs. Furthermore, this study will help provide a new theoretical analysis insight for the related research on how the COVID-19 pandemic affects entrepreneurs’ psychology, and further deepen researchers to understand the mechanism of entrepreneur anxiety under the COVID-19 pandemic, providing theoretical inspirations for reducing entrepreneur anxiety. What’s more, this study finds that individual pressure can affect their cognitive appraisal, which means that future research should take the pressure influential mechanism into consideration in the process of exploring “external stimulus--cognitive appraisal--emotional response,” further expanding the theoretical model of cognitive appraisal proposed from the perspective of pressure.
