“…However, in order to ensure that urbanization positively affects the environment and its effect on the economy is significant, RE should be adopted in industrial activities. Also, the direction of the causality between RE and economic growth depends on the market conditions of the countries (Wadström et al, 2019). Energy consumption, which is imperative for industrial activities, real income/output, as well as the level of globalization, plays a significant role in ensuring the sustainability of the environment (Akadiri et al, 2018).…”

Apart from being vulnerable to the menace created by climate change, the MENA countries consume more of non-renewable energy despite their resource endowments and great renewable energy potentials. Energy consumption, natural resource exploration and urbanization may add to environmental degradation since ecological distortions emanate from human activities. This study investigates the effects of the aforementioned variables on the ecological footprint in MENA countries. The findings confirm the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis and further reveal the negative impact of natural resource and economic growth on the environment. Renewable energy and urbanization reduce ecological footprint. The Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) were applied to obtain the country-specific results. Further findings suggest a feedback causality between urbanization, economic growth and ecological footprint. Policy directions based on the findings are extensively discussed.

“…First, the focus on the renewable energy sector follows arguments for the usefulness of examining potentially disruptive employee behaviours in settings in which different opinions may exist about the best ways forward for organizations that compete in highly volatile and competitive markets (De Clercq & Pereira, 2019;Morrison, 2011). In addition, stimulating employee behaviours that resolve organizational problem areas likely is important for companies in the renewable energy sector, which require creative solutions to avoid negative spillover effects of customer skepticism about the value of novel energy solutions, compared with more familiar solutions (Galperina & Klen, 2017;Ghiasi et al, 2019;Wadström et al, 2019). 3 The moderators under study also may have particular relevance in the renewable energy sector, because of, first, the strong work pressures that employees experience due to intense external competitive rivalry; second, the technological, operations-focused context, which could make it somewhat challenging for employees to develop informal relationships with colleagues; and third, the regulatory framework in which the sector operates, which may constrain organizations' abilities to allow high levels of flexibility in internal decision-making processes (Holburn, 2012;McPherson & Karney, 2017;Nepal et al, 2018).…”

This article investigates the relationship between employees' task conflict and voice behaviour, as well as how this positive relationship might be invigorated by adverse work conditions. Using quantitative survey data, collected among employees in a large Canada-based organization, this research establishes a positive connection between employees' engagement in task conflict and the likelihood that they speak up about opportunities for organizational betterment, especially if those employees also experience excessive workloads, do not know their colleagues on a personal level, and believe that their organization resists change. These results offer novel insights for organizations: the usefulness of conflicting viewpoints for spurring proactive suggestions about how to improve the organizational status quo is particularly high in the presence of experienced workplace adversity.

“…Energy is seen as a critical factor in providing prosperity for a modern society, but, on the other hand, is a potential source of environmental damage (Wadström et al 2019). Therefore, there is a close relationship between the production of electricity and environmental impacts, which is determined by sources used for its production.…”

Advances in new technologies and the desire to achieve a sustainable and safe energy supply, enable communities to transition from conventional to renewable resources, such as geothermal energy. Perception and acceptance amongst different audiences have a high impact on the feasibility of energy projects, which is an important aspect to analyze. For this reason, this study focuses on describing the level of awareness and acceptance of deep geothermal energy within an educated segment of the population in five European and American countries (Canada, Colombia, Chile, Belgium, and France) at different stages of geothermal development. This study was conducted through an online survey, which was targeted to post-secondary students and professionals. Some of the most significant conclusions are: 1) there is a high degree of awareness of geothermal energy among the respondents in Chile and Canada, a medium level in Belgium and France, and a low one in Colombia; 2) there is a favorable acceptance of a geothermal project in each country, even when hydraulic stimulation is considered; 3) environmental aspects and community safety are the most important issues that must be addressed to support a pilot geothermal project.
