“…This definition is also interesting because it focuses on the collaboration between the HEIs and the community (Tripathi & Bhandari, 2014). It also highlighted the reciprocity of benefit on the different stakeholders conjugated in some actors such as the community, university and students.…”

“…Thus, the OAAA was one of the organizations that integrated the community engagement (CE) standard in its quality framework. Doing so, deciders in Oman recognize the sensitive role communities and HEIs play in the implementation of effective and sustainable plans and policies intended to mutually promote the well-being of the society (Tripathi & Bhandari, 2014). Considering the recent and new emergence of the research interest regarding the measuring of the CE in the higher education, rare researches were conducted in the area of CE.…”

Higher education institutions (HEIs) are asked more and more to be community engaged. In fact, governments have become more sensitive regarding the role and the contributions of these institutions in the development of the society in general and students’ skills in specific. Community engagement (CE) has also become an important part of the quality accreditation framework in several countries. Through this, researchers tried to demonstrate a positive correlation between the publication of the quality audit reports and the generation of positive outcomes in terms of CE. The study notified a certain decrease in terms of recommendations related to the standard of CE in comparison with the other areas of quality assessment. However, it was not possible to establish a positive correlation between the publication of quality reports and the decrease of the number of recommendations. Researchers concluded that the institutional engagement in CE activities appears to be a more strategic imposed tool made under the constraints of the quality accreditation standards, rather than the self-awareness and self-engagement of the HEIs.

“…With the purpose of ensuring global green growth, the concept of sustainable investment has evolved as an important aspect in corporate social responsibility, as it incorporates both the social and environmental concerns into traditional investment decision-making process (Tripathi and Bhandari, 2014). Currently, green or SRIs have started becoming much relevant as ordinary investors have started realizing the power they have for impelling the companies to do something for the betterment of the society.…”

“…Khoiriyah and Toro (2013) supported the assertion given by Laroche et al (2001), which states that knowledge is one of the important characteristics possessed by a consumer that influences their attitude to purchase green products. Tripathi and Bhandari (2014) found that the most important factor that inhibits the growth of SRI is the lack of awareness on the part of investors. Schrader (2006) highlighted the importance of knowledge for the advisor and suggested their training needs for ethical investment.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the existing literature on sustainable investments and propose an integrated conceptual framework for measuring socially responsible investment intention of investors. Design/methodology/approach Based on the theory of planned behaviour, the study discusses an integrated conceptual framework by thoroughly analysing the empirical studies of last 18 years, from 2001 to 2018. Some of the important measures of these studies have been reviewed, such as country of study, research methodology applied, sample size and respondents selected, model/theory applied, variables selected and significant findings of the study. Findings The study posits that collectivism, knowledge about sustainable investment, pro-environmental attitude and perceived risk will have a positive impact on attitude (ATT) towards SRI. Moreover, attitude (ATT) and subjective norms (SN) will be positively related to intention (INT) along with the mediating effect of social investing efficacy (SIE) and moderating effects of religiosity beliefs. Practical implications Besides implications for financial managers, various government bodies, prospective investors and other stakeholders, the study will provide impetus to companies for designing more sustainable funds that can promulgate the values and beliefs of investors. Originality/value The study incrementally contributes to the literature by way of suggesting a conceptual framework that can be empirically tested by future researchers.

“…Over the past two decades, these factors have undergone tremendous change as the investors around the globe have started giving weightage to the aspects of sustainability. They are moving from just “investing” to “socially responsible investing (SRI),” which incorporates the social and environmental concerns (Tripathi and Bhandari, 2014) and personal values (Bollen, 2007) into the investment decision-making process. This concept also focuses on issues relating to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) (Escrig-Olmedo et al , 2013) and social, ethical and environmental norms (SEE) (Talha et al , 2013).…”

Purpose This study aims to test the serial mediation effect of attitude toward socially responsible investing (SRI) and social investing efficacy (SIE) on the relationship of knowledge about SRI with the intention to invest in SRI along with moderating effect of religiosity. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a quantitative analysis approach, wherein the data has been collected from 569 north Indian retail investors. Partial least square (PLS)-structural equation modeling has been applied in this study using the latest version of SmartPLS (v. 3.2.8) software to examine the complex model of serial and moderated mediation. Findings Attitude toward SRI and SIE significantly and serially mediate the relationship between knowledge about SRI and intention to invest in SRI. Also, the interaction effect of religiosity with knowledge about SRI is significant only for SIE and not for attitude toward SRI. Research limitations/implications The study is cross-sectional in nature conducted only on the north Indian investors. Besides knowledge, there can be many other personal or social aspects that might affect SRI intention that have not been taken into the study. Practical implications The results suggested that the companies, financial advisors and governmental bodies can improvise upon social and environmental performance reporting so that investment in SRI can be promulgated. Social implications The paper concludes that religious-minded people are more open to the idea of investing in SRI. India, being is a religious-minded country, the results of this study suggest that there is good potential for the development of SRI in India. Originality/value Empirical evidence regarding the relationship of SRI intention with its determinants is limited in Asian countries. Prior literature mainly provides evidence from developed countries where social and governance systems are comparatively stronger. The study provides evidence for the bright future of SRI in India, where investor’s beliefs are dominated by their religious values.
