“…Third, our study shares similar findings to extant literature that key leaders who have a higher level of compassion are likely to seek benefits for the society and the environment while achieving economic objectives through their sustainable decisions, especially those related to preserving the nature (Dutton et al, 2014; Jordan et al, 2016; Miller et al, 2012; Pfattheicher et al, 2016). However, different from the positive impact of Buddhism on sustainable decions in extant literature (Abdullah & Keshminder, 2020; Engel et al, 2020), our study highlights that following Buddhist teachings and practicing Buddish lifestyles themselves are only associated with sustainable decision making through the mediating role of compassion, the concern for others' sufferings. To be more specifically, following Buddhist teachings and practice Buddhist lifestyles, key leaders can understand and practice different principles of Buddhism such as karma (Thondup, 2017), impermanence (Yoneyama, 2007), the four noble truths (Mendis, 1994), and the Noble Eightfold Path (Gethin, 1998).…”

In order to achieve a competitive advantage in the market, enhance a positive brand reputation, and respond to consumers' requirement, organizations' key leaders may have to make sustainable decisions for the sake of the environment, the society and the organization simultaneously. In this study, Buddhism and compassion are proposed to extend the sustainability mindset framework in understanding key leaders' sustainable decision making to achieve a balance between concerns for environmental, societal, and economic outcomes. Data from a survey of 142 key leaders who are business owners, entrepreneurs, and managers in SMEs and startups in Vietnam provide evidence that Buddhist teaching and lifestyles are important predictors of key leaders' sustainable decision making through the mediator of compassion. Furthermore, the study also revealed that Buddhism positively and significantly influences compassion. This research, thus, makes contribution to the extant literature regarding factors influencing key leaders' sustainable decision making. Practical implications are also discussed.

“…Islam sebagai agama yang tidak hanya mengatur hubungan manusia dengan Khaliqnya, akan tetapi juga hubungan manusia dengan sesama makhluk, sesungguhnya telah memiliki landasan normatif baik secara implisit maupun eksplisit tentang menjaga dan melestarikan lingkungan hidup [47]. Misal, tentang tugas melestarikan lingkungan hidup yang merupakan manifestasi iman (QS.…”

Humans are faced with some terrible natural disasters which endanger their lives and the biosphere. These are inseparable from human activities which lead to global warming. Therefore, it takes conscious effort to carry out environmental conservation and this would be more effective when carried out by all parties. Islamic education is one of the efforts aimed at conserving the environment owing to the fact it builds awareness on its importance and is a journey pioneered for the survival of the next generation. Education helps to understand various values and concepts needed to develop the attitudes and skills towards building mutual relations between humans, culture and the environment. Through education, humans form attitudes which help to have a concern for the environment.

“…People contribute to environmental degradation directly by excessive consumption and indirectly by demanding products and services and influencing other actors. The influence of the individuals' behaviors on the environment is an issue that requires further studies to point out directions to reduce the impact of consumption, exploring strategies such as environmental education and the use of urban green areas to promote environmental awareness (Abdullah & Keshminder, 2020;dos Reis et al, 2020;Martins, 2010).…”

“…The task of engaging people in behavioral changes to protect the environment is facilitated when understanding the most relevant factors influencing consumption (Abdullah & Keshminder, 2020;Forum, 2014;Tripathi & Singh, 2016). Therefore, green areas can be important tools for the promotion of better quality of life and the reduction of environmental degradation, policies could be developed based on the promotion and maintenance of public parks, also offering environmental education within these parks aiming to strengthen sustainable consumption habits.…”

Purpose: The alternative of sustainable consumption is proposed to change the excessive demand and production that aggravate environmental problems. However, translating ecosystems concerns into sustainable attitudes is a well-known challenge. This study analyzes the hypothesis of a positive correlation between how often people visit urban green areas and their perception of sustainable consumption Design/methodology/approach: Based on the nonparametric item response theory (NIRT) and logistic regression models. Findings: The hypothesis was partially confirmed. Implications: The importance of urban green areas and their potential to encourage sustainable consumption reinforces the need for governments to develop environmental education programs that include incentives to visit public parks and emphasize the reduction of environmental degradation. Originality/value: This research contributes (i) to present the importance of urban green areas to change the individuals’ behavior toward sustainable consumption and (ii) to test how urban green areas influence different dimensions of sustainable behavior.
