“…The difference in the behaviour of generations results in exhibiting different environmental behaviour, especially during the current scenario, Baby Boomers appear to be more conservative and concerned about the quality of life and environment (Severo et al 2020 ). This finding is consistent with Eastman et al’s ( 2020 ) study concluding that future concerns among the seniors result in sustainable behaviours. In the context of religious association, all religions have an equal perception towards the threats of COVID-19 and encourage their followers to protect their surrounding environment.…”

Despite a profound evidence of the human unsustainable behaviours’ impact on the environment, stark disparities prevail on this narrative especially in the context of the current epidemiological situation ushered by the COVID-19. The ongoing pandemic is a global public health concern due to its sagacious impacts on environmental sustainability, social responsibility and people’s quality of life. This study primarily focuses on analysing the impact of COVID-19 (COV) on the environmental awareness (EA), sustainable consumption (SC) and social responsibility (SR). Additionally, we aspire to investigate the impact of demographics of generations and religion on the proposed nexus in this study. The data was collected from 700 participants of different age groups and religious backgrounds in Malaysia, and structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyse this data and test the hypotheses. The findings indicate that COVID-19 has a significantly positive impact on EA, SC and SR, and the generations and religiosity moderate the relationship between COVID-19 and its impact on sustainable behaviours. This study contributes to analyse the difference in the perception of EA, SC and SR among the people that eventually will stimulate the scientific reasoning among the governments, policymakers and scientists to develop a holistic framework to combat unprecedented event such as COVID-19 and ensure the authentication of sustainable environment and exceptional quality of life. The policymakers in Malaysia may use the findings of this study to inspect the social and environmental aspects of the people during the transformation events.

“…As shown in Appendix , the survey items were adapted from current scales and measured on a 5‐point Likert scale ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree.” The independent variables of social‐adjustive and value‐expressive attitudes were measured with Wilcox et al (2009) scale. To measure ecologically conscious consumer behavior/socially responsible consumer behavior, the shorter version of the ecologically conscious consumer behavior scale by Roberts (1996a) per Eastman et al (2019), and the socially responsible consumer behavior scale developed by Roberts (1996b) were utilized for the dependent variables. Lynn and Harris's (1997) unidimensional scale was used to measure the mediating variable of the Desire for Unique Consumer Products.…”

This study examines the effect of value-expressive and social-adjustive luxury attitudes on sustainable behaviors, specifically ecologically conscious consumer behavior, and socially responsible consumer behavior. This study investigates the mediating effect of the desire for unique products on the relationship between value-expressive and social-adjustive attitudes and sustainable behaviors. The moderating roles of brand self-congruence and the cultural values of collectivism and masculinity on these relationships are also explored. The results offer support for the mediating role of the desire for unique products. Furthermore, the connection between the desire for unique products and ecologically conscious consumer behavior (but not socially responsible consumer behavior) is enhanced with the moderating cultural value of collectivism and the connection between the desire for unique products and socially responsible consumer behavior (but not ecologically conscious consumer behavior) is enhanced by the moderating factor of brand selfcongruence. The findings help to explain the conflicting findings regarding luxury and sustainability.

“…Conversely, individuals who focus on the future (i.e., future temporal focus) will take future consequences into account (e.g., Levasseur et al, 2020;Shipp et al, 2009). Prior research found that individuals who anticipate future consequences refrain from negative behavior in favor of positive work-related behaviors and attitudes (e.g., altruism, conscientiousness, courtesy, long-term planning, and OCB; Foo, Uy & Baron, 2009;Levasseur et al, 2020;Shipp et al, 2009;Strobel, Tumasjan, Spörrle & Welpe, 2013) as well as positive nonwork-related behaviors and attitudes (e.g., increased safety skills and fewer traffic violations; increased sustainable behavior; ; Eastman, Modi & Gordon-Wilson, 2019;Tekeş,Özdemir &Özkanc, 2020). Furthermore, Baltes, Wynne, Sirabian, Krenn, and De Lange (2014) proposed that future time perspective triggers a goal orientation with promotion focus.…”

Traditionally, scientific- and practitioner-oriented publications tend to categorize employees in groups of either “good” or “bad” employees, thereby omitting that one category of employees might engage in organizational citizenship behavior (OCB-O) and counterproductive work behavior (CWB-O). In this study, we concurrently examine the mediating role of moral credits and credentials, as well as the moderating role of subjective temporal focus. Specifically, we argue that when employees enact OCB-O, they obtain moral credits and credentials, which in turn might make employees more likely to enact CWB-O. Moreover, we argue that the latter relationships depend on an employee’s subjective temporal focus, resulting in an OCB-O—CWB-O relationship that is (1) positive for a past temporal focus, (2) negative for a future temporal focus, and (3) non-significant for a present temporal focus. We examined these hypotheses by means of a multilevel weekly survey study and largely found support for our hypotheses, especially with regard to the role of moral credentials as the mediating mechanism and the aggravating versus attenuating effect of past versus future temporal focus, respectively. We end with a discussion on implications, suggestions for future research, and recommendations for practice.
