“…This study adopts the FDM to establish HWS intention measures' validity and screen out unnecessary attributes. FDEMATEL was also employed to address the cause-effect interrelationships among the attributes [19,20,23]. Hence, this study utilizes a hybrid approach consisting of the FDM and FDEMATEL to confirm the validity and to explore the cause-effect interrelationships among the attributes.…”

“…The FDM combines the traditional Delphi method with fuzzy set theory, considering the vagueness of expert judgments. FDM is suitable for capturing the uncertainty involved in human decisions and serves as a screening tool for removing nonessential criteria from the initial set of attributes [20,22]. The procedures necessary for the FDM are discussed below:…”

“…Furthermore, the characteristics of HWS intention attributes involve both qualitative and quantitative assessments [3,6,15]. This study utilizes the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) to eliminate ambiguity in expert decision-making, which helps generate valid and reliable attributes of HWS intentions [19][20][21]. Moreover, the fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (FDEMATEL) was selected to address the qualitative nature of HWS intention attributes by examining the cause-effect interrelationships among the validated attributes [22,23].…”

This study contributes by developing a set of household waste separation (HWS) attributes to address waste mishandling and to enhance waste separation intentions in households. In Mongolia, a lack of waste separation at the household level needs to be addressed to improve municipal solid waste management systems. However, prior studies have not established attributes in a hierarchical structure, nor do they understand their cause-effect interrelationships. First, the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) was used to screen out the unnecessary attributes in qualitative information. The fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (FDEMATEL) was then applied to understand the hierarchical structure of the attributes and their cause-effect interrelationships. The study identifies a valid set of attributes consisting of five aspects and 17 criteria under uncertainties. A hierarchical framework consisting of environmental attitudes, social norms, perceived behavioral control, perceived convenience, and persuasive communication is provided. The findings reveal that persuasive communication and environmental attitudes are causal group aspects. Furthermore, persuasive communication has a strong causal impact and higher importance in improving HWS intentions, and it leads to perceived convenience and behavioral control. For policymakers, credibility of information, knowledge and information, awareness of consequences, willingness to sort, and perceived policy effectiveness are the key causal criteria for enhancing HWS intentions. Theoretical and practical policy implications are discussed.

The paper revises the ample empirical and theoretical literature on sustainable organizational growth and strategic leadership relating to the critical aspects of the ongoing pandemic, including poverty, social responsibility, public health, and organizational and managerial innovation. Drawing from available COVID-19, management, and sustainable leadership publications released from 2020 to 2021, this paper considers influential studies exploring core business concepts, principles, philosophies, and activities for accelerating, stimulating, and nurturing social and corporate sustainability. The study analyzed the characteristics and interrelation of 133 articles through bibliometric and literature systemization techniques. We shed light on the significant influence COVID-19 has had on financial, operational, and psychological solvency and organizational health to elucidate expectations and implications for businesses worldwide concerning the long-term financial and functional impact of COVID-19. An overview of the relevant studies on the individual, organizational, and external factors relating to novel disease’s relation to sustainability are provided. We emphasize the need for digital transformation following the COVID-19 upheaval and throughout the upcoming years. Some of the generally employed techniques in response to adversity entail portfolio diversification, service delivery innovation, product redesigning, new market development, partnering with competitors and/or complementary service providers, synergizing with other stakeholders, and open innovation.

“…The voluntary disclosure level of enterprises with poor social reputation is significantly low. The development of information technology affects the fulfillment of CSR and the level of information disclosure ( Negash et al, 2021 ). Whether or not an enterprise undertakes social responsibility, what kind of social responsibility it undertakes, and how much social responsibility it undertakes are determined by various circumstances.…”

The research intends to improve the optimization of social media’s nature of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and standardize the influence mechanism of social media. First, the research analyzes the concepts of social media, CSR, and corporate reputation from the perspective of entrepreneurial psychology and expounds on the influencing factors of CSR scores from a macro perspective. Second, the mechanism of social media’s role in CSR is briefly discussed. On this basis, it is found that the most intuitive manifestation of social media platforms affecting the communication of CSR is the impact on the score of CSR. Three hypotheses are proposed, namely, (1) social media platforms, such as “WeChat,” have a greater impact on the communication of CSR; (2) social media is positively correlated with the increase in CSR scores; and (3) user reading and liking are positively correlated with the increase in CSR scores. Finally, 78 listed companies related to the mobile communication industry are selected as samples for the questionnaire survey and statistical analysis, and the hypothesis is demonstrated. The results demonstrate that the hypothesis that the social media platform “WeChat” has an impact on the communication of CSR is valid, and the hypothesis that the open state of “social media” is positively correlated with the increase in CSR scores is not valid. It is assumed that the number of user readings and likes is positively correlated with the increase in CSR score, which is valid under a limited sample. It is concluded that the WeChat platform has the best effect on the communication of CSR and can provide the impetus for the improvement of corporate reputation. The opening of “social media” is not directly related to the improvement of CSR scores. The correct operation of “social media” will have an impact on the communication of CSR. The correlation between the number of users reading and liking on “social media” and the increase in CSR score is not significant, as only the number of “likes” on social media related to shareholders is significantly associated with an increase in CSR score. The linear regression coefficient between the number of likes and the increase in CSR score is less than 0.05. There is a positive correlation between user reads, likes, and increases in CSR scores. This research helps enterprises to effectively fulfill their social responsibilities and improve the efficiency of CSR. This makes up for the lack of social media’s influence mechanism on the nature of CSR. It innovatively explores the impact of social media on CSR from the perspective of entrepreneurial psychology and provides some ideas for entrepreneurs and enterprises to create CSR and CSR value.
