“…Ecofeminist use in this study was moderated with technological spillovers to equip the female labor force with sustainable production technologies to decrease GHG emissions. The earlier literature is available on two different literature streams; the first stream of the earlier literature is highly provoking the positive role of women in economic development [10,[52][53][54]. The widespread discrimination and vulnerability are broadly viewed in most developed and developing countries [55][56][57].…”

The role of women in economic development and the global environment is vital for progressing them towards the United Nations sustainable development goal (SDG-5) that emphasized the need to empower women in every walk of life. The study examines women’s autonomy in the sustainable development agenda under China’s open innovation system from 1975 to 2019. The study employed an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, vector autoregressive (VAR) Granger causality, and innovation accounting matrix to estimate parameters. The existing data are summarized and collated in the context of China to explain as a correlational study. The results show that women’s autonomy moderated with technology spills over to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and substantiate the hump-shaped relationship between them. The increased spending on research and development (R&D) activities, patent publications, and renewable energy consumption empowers women to be equipped with the latest sustainable technologies to improve environmental quality. The pollution haven hypothesis verifies a given country, where trade liberalization policies tend to increase polluting industries to set up their plants that engaged in dirty production that exacerbate GHG emissions. The causality estimates confirmed that technological innovations and renewable energy consumption leads to women’s autonomy. In contrast, females’ share in the labor force participation rate leads to an increase in renewable energy consumption. Thus, it is evident that there is a positive role of women in the country’s sustainable development.

“…The unfair women's opportunities for entrepreneurship are not limited to any particular country or a specific community but somewhat worldwide (Raghuvanshi et al, 2017). In the last four decades, the women's entrepreneurship research stream has achieved global interest (e.g., Bosma et al, 2018;Cooke & Xiao, 2021;Eckhardt & Shane, 2003;Gartner, 1988;Masud et al, 2019b;Welter, 2011;Zahra, 2007). Entrepreneurship intention describes the highly efficient performance with an improved desire to execute a specific task (Boahemaah et al, 2020;Maresch et al, 2016).…”

“…The findings revealed that entrepreneurship intention of female students, only 36.6% of and this percentage decreased by only 10.8% intended to be entrepreneurs after five years of their graduation (Sieger et al, 2016). On the other hand, Cooke and Xiao (2021), in their review of the existing situation of women's entrepreneurship in China, have analyzed the challenges facing women entrepreneurs and the governmental and institutional policy interventions to enhance women's entrepreneurship.…”

“…Tremendous previous research has investigated the influence of different factors affecting women's entrepreneurship intention. The prior studies explored personal characteristics such as personality, demographics, motivation, cultural beliefs, including gender standards, social context, and organizational environments, including policy and financial support (Cooke & Xiao, 2021). Most previous studies identified financial support as one of the critical challenges and a common problem for women's entrepreneurial intention (e.g., Jones & Clifton, 2018;Li et al, 2016;Şen et al, 2018;Smith-Hunter, 2006;Villaseca et al, 2020;Xiong et al, 2011).…”

“…in the workplace (Liu and Jia, 2020). Chinese women usually find themselves isolated in male-dominant guanxi networks (Cooke and Xiao, 2021). After-work activities such as dinner or evening entertainments are important to build and join guanxi networks, but engaging in these activities may damage women’s reputations (Nolan and Rowley, 2020).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore how gender influences peer assessment in team-building activities in China. Design/methodology/approach A nine-player Werewolf game was adopted to conduct the experiment. Nine abilities were defined to evaluate players’ performances. Before the game, players filled out a self-assessment questionnaire (five-point Likert scale). After the game, players evaluated other game members’ performances using the same questionnaire. Data were analyzed using linear regression. Findings The results showed that gender bias clearly existed in team-building activities, with men more likely to receive better peer assessment than women. In addition, when women presented themselves as actively as men did, they received less favorable evaluations than men, whereas their failures were more likely to be exaggerated. Practical implications This study may help build harmonious teams for gender equality, and we give practical suggestions respectively from the perspective of female employees, their managers, and their companies. Originality/value Given the importance of team-building activities in teamwork, fair evaluations of team-building performances are essential. However, gender influences on peer assessment in team-building activities in China remain unclear. This study adds new and important knowledge to research on gender bias in teams.
