“…The validity of the proposed model was examined using confirmatory factor analysis and structural model analysis. The convergent and discrimination validity of the scales used in the study were also examined [54]. As shown in Table 3, factor loadings (λ) indicating convergent validity ranged from 0.65 to 0.91; these values are above the acceptable threshold (i.e., 0.50).…”

The role that psychological variables play in depression among elderly urban residents has received little research attention. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between social capital, social capital satisfaction, self-esteem, and depression among elderly urban residents. We used the responses provided by 701 elderly persons to scales assessing social capital (i.e., network, trust), social capital satisfaction, self-esteem, and depression, as part of the Korea Welfare Panel Study (KOWEPS). We conducted a confirmatory factor analysis and tested the validity of a proposed statistical model using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that trust in social capital, social capital satisfaction, and self-esteem were significantly related to depression. Further, social capital satisfaction and self-esteem fully and partially mediated the relationship between trust and depression, respectively. These findings serve as an empirical base upon which social welfare policies can be founded that benefit elderly urban residents with weak social capital, low social capital satisfaction, and poor self-esteem.

“…Since the stakeholder theory was first coined it has been broadly assimilated in several fields including corporate social responsibility (Mainardes et al, 2011) as well as marketing and business ethics (Hutchinson et al, 2013). The theory has also advanced to accommodate a system to connect various aspects and manifold environments related to companies' operations (Mainardes et al, 2011).…”

“…The Conscientious Corporate Brand Model of Nordic origin is typical of this approach as it propounds the alignment of companies with the legacy of both external and internal stakeholder over a period of time (Rindell et al, 2011). This model was furthermore validated in North-America where Hutchinson et al (2013) assert that a company's ethical behaviour is of critical importance in guiding its relationships with its respective stakeholders. Furthermore ethical behaviour has the ability to add significantly to the value of the company's brand (Hutchinson et al, 2013).…”

The purpose is twofold: (i) to determine the extent to which companies' efforts aimed at sustainable business practices consider stakeholders in their organisations and business networks, the marketplace and society; and (ii) to validate or refute a stakeholder framework of business sustainability efforts within focal companies, the marketplace, society and business networks. Design/Methodology/Approach: Based on a questionnaire survey targeting large companies across industries and sectors in Spain. The sample consisted of 231 companies generating a useable response rate of 38.5%. Exploratory factor analyses was performed on a crossindustry sample to test a five-dimensional framework. Findings: Reports on the validation of initial and refined factor solutions. The factor analyses confirmed five stakeholder dimensions related to business sustainability efforts of organisations, their business networks, marketplace and society. The validated results indicate satisfactory convergent, discriminant and nomological validity and reliability through time and across contexts. Research implications: The stakeholder framework in connection to business sustainability efforts in supply chains consisting of five factors was validated: (i) the focal company, (ii) downstream stakeholders, (iii) societal stakeholders, (iv) market stakeholders, and (v) upstream stakeholders.. Suggestion for further research is provided. Managerial implications: The validated framework of stakeholders allows insight into the environment which stakeholders operate and how they influence on the focal company. Originality/Value: The manuscript contributes to the validation of a stakeholder framework of business sustainability efforts within focal companies, their business networks, the marketplace and society. The measurement properties provide support for acceptable validity and reliability across contexts and through time.

“…As a result, stakeholder theory has been widely adopted. (Hutchinson, et al, 2013) Stakeholder theory has undergone significant changes linked to various facets within the operating environment of organisations (Mainardes et al, 2011). It is contended that stakeholders have different types of relationships with different organisations.…”

The empirical findings indicate major similarities and minor differences between organisations in Spain and Norway across two studies. In extension, the empirical findings appear to be valid and reliable through time and across contexts. Suggestion for further research is provided.
