“…Second, given that modern society is built on the premise that everyone has opportunities to pursue upward economic mobility, and given that hard work, rather than circumstances at birth, is the main driver of economic success (Morgan, 2006), we highlight the role of perceived economic mobility as a core principle of modern society that also shapes pro-environmental behavior. This is a novel contribution since the growing literature on perceived economic mobility has, so far, documented its effects predominantly in consumption settings (Kim, 2022). Third, we add to the literature by showing the important role played by future orientation in determining proenvironmental behavior.…”

Researchers have been paying a great deal of attention to the issues surrounding climate change, a serious threat to every aspect of society. The present research adds to the growing body of literature on pro-environmental behavior by demonstrating that a previously unidentified factor perception of economic mobility systematically affects pro-environmental behavior among secondary school students. Evidence further suggests that the degree of future orientation mediates this effect. This is the first demonstration that the perception of society influences its members’ pro-environmental behavior. Furthermore, the result stresses the importance of cultivating pro-environmental behavior at young ages. This research also discusses other theoretical and substantive implications as well as various future research directions.

“…Out of eight participants, only two indicated that emotions have most influenced their decision-making process, the remaining six stated that only in few occasions or sometimes the emotions have influenced their decision-making. One of the participants stated, “I am very rational at decision-making and do not allow emotions to interfere on my decisions.” In this respect, Kim (2012) explained that “emotions interfere on rationality, affecting one’s objective observation of the situation, as there is a complementary relationship between both, as an emotion has an important role in the decision-making process.”…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand, which internal processes (mental, emotional, cultural, ethical and spiritual) Afghan business leaders use when making managerial decisions. Design/methodology/approach Primary data were collected through 1-h face-to-face interviews with Afghan business leaders. Interviews were conducted through open-ended questions in a semi-structured format. This method was considered most appropriate to acquire an understanding of senior executives’ interpretation and usage of decision-making processes. The method of analyzing data was thematic analysis where the researchers identified common themes, topics, ideas and patterns of meaning that come up repetitively. The objective of the analysis was to determine the most frequent decision-making processes by business leaders and the reasons for using these processes. Findings Although the usage of internal processes in decision-making are not homogeneous among Afghan business leaders, some of the processes are used more frequently than others such as mental, cultural and ethical processes. During the mental process of decision-making, the majority of leaders use intuitional decision-making, the minority using logic. Regarding the cultural dimension, the majority of leaders stated that they have an open, friendly, caring organization for each employee and horizontal culture in their organization. The minority indicated that they have a friendly culture but they also considered the processes and hierarchy in their organization. Considering the ethical process of decision-making, leaders stated that their priorities are more ethical than getting extra profit. They believe that profit will be generated while considering ethical values. As a leader noted: when you consider ethics and fulfill your obligations, the profit automatically generates. Most leaders use the internal process of emotion in their decision-making, but the usage has not been frequent. The emotional process of decision-making is more involved when the human factor is involved. For instance, one of the participants stated “I did not fire an employee that I had to because he was a needy and poor person.” About the spiritual process of decision-making, although all leaders agreed that they have used spirituality in decision-making, its usage varies. About one-third of the leaders mostly rely on spirituality or on religious teachings during the decision-making process, one-third somehow rely on spirituality or religion, about 50% of the time and one-third rely on spirituality between 25% to 30% of the time. Originality/value This study is pilot research as no previous research was carried out on this topic, therefore, it provides a basis of literature on the usage of internal processes on decision-making in Afghanistan. The findings may differ in other economic and national contexts.
