In this study, expectancy-valence theory was used from the perspective of corporate green management to investigate green shared vision (GSV). Moreover, organizational identity theory and ...psychological ownership theory were combined to propose an integrated conceptual framework. To fill research gaps, an investigation was also conducted with frontline R & D and sales employees to further examine the effect of GSV on organization members' psychology and behavior. The research results indicate that when under the following circumstances, corporate members can enhance organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) to improve green management performance, gain the favor of green consumers and achieve sustainable consumption goals. First, enterprises should focus on environmental issues and develop their GSV. Second, enterprises should implement the GSV in different aspects, such as product design, processing, marketing and management. Finally, corporate GSV should be in line with the expectations and values of organization members on environmental issues to motivate their OCBE. Therefore, enterprises must implement their GSV to strengthen the green organizational identity and green product psychological ownership of their members.
•The study elaborates on n the integrated framework of Combined TAM and TPB model (C-TAM-TPB)•Developing a comprehensive research framework for the sustainable consumption and production of household ...electric vehicle charging infrastructure.•The study describes the impact of home electric vehicle charging on electric vehicle purchase behavior.•The study provides evidence of the transition from fuel vehicles to electric vehicles and holds great significance to the sustainable development of the transportation industry.
Extensive research on electric vehicle charging infrastructure has been conducted within the field of electric vehicle purchase behavior, yet home electric vehicle charging infrastructure remains largely unexplored. This research expands the Combined Technology Acceptance Model and Theory of Planned Behavior through a series of three studies, each involving data collection at two different time points. The research focused on the psychological mechanisms underlying the use of personal electric vehicle chargers and electric vehicle purchase behavior as well as the types of personal chargers used in communities. The findings have crucial theoretical and practical implications for the development of electric vehicles as well as green management policies and strategies to achieve sustainable development. Interestingly, while government subsidies policy enhances the positive relationship between intentions to purchase electric vehicles and the actual purchase behavior, the green product information asymmetry will attenuate this positive linkage. This research provides new insights into the relationship between reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving net-zero carbon emissions EV purchase behavior, highlighting the complex interplay between EV purchase behavior, government subsidies, and green product information asymmetries.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between green production and sustainable consumption, with a focus on green packaging design and the integration of stakeholder theory and ...expected-value theory. Two studies were conducted to address the research gap from the perspectives of both enterprises and consumers. Study 1 highlighted the importance of employees' degree of psychological ownership of green products for improving green packaging design, while study 2 explored the dual role of green packaging design in influencing consumers' green purchasing behavior through both green skepticism and green perceived value. The findings have practical and theoretical implications for the promotion of green production and sustainable consumption.
In this letter, we present a reversible data hiding scheme based on histogram modification. We exploit a binary tree structure to solve the problem of communicating pairs of peak points. Distribution ...of pixel differences is used to achieve large hiding capacity while keeping the distortion low. We also adopt a histogram shifting technique to prevent overflow and underflow. Performance comparisons with other existing schemes are provided to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme.
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has become an available technology to fabricate customized tissue engineering scaffolds with delicate architecture. This exploratory study aimed to evaluate the ...potential of a 3D-printed hydroxyapatite-based scaffold as a biomaterial for obtaining guided bone regeneration (GBR) in vivo.
Scaffolds composed of 90% hydroxyapatite and 10% poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) were printed using a microextrusion process to fit 4 mm diameter and 0.5 mm thick through-and-through osseous defects on the mandibular ramus of rats, with unfilled defects serving as controls. Specimens were analyzed for regeneration-associated gene expression on day 7, and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histology assessments were carried out on day 28.
The scaffolds were 3.56 ± 0.43 mm (x-axis) and 4.02 ± 0.44 mm (y-axis) in diameter and 0.542 ± 0.035 mm thick (z-axis), with a mean pore size of 0.420 ± 0.028 × 0.328 ± 0.005 mm
. Most scaffolds fit the defects well. Type I collagen, VEGF, and Cbfa1 were upregulated in the scaffold-treated defects by day 7. By day 28, de novo osteogenesis and scaffold-tissue integration were evident in the scaffold-treated defects, and entire mineralized tissue, as well as newly formed bone, was significantly promoted, as seen in the micro-CT and histologic analyses.
The 3D-printed hydroxyapatite-based scaffold showed acceptable dimensional stability and demonstrated favorable osteoregenerative capability that fulfilled the need for GBR.
For point cloud registration, the purpose of this article is to propose a novel centralized random sample consensus (RANSAC) (C-RANSAC) registration with fast convergence and high accuracy. In our ...algorithm, the novel contributions are, first, the proposal of a scale histogram-based outlier removal to delete outliers from the initial line vector set <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">\mathbf {L}</tex-math></inline-formula> for constructing a reduced line vector set <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">\mathbf {L}_{\text{red}}</tex-math></inline-formula>; second, the handshake cooperation between the host RANSAC (H-RANSAC) only working on L and the local RANSAC (LCL-RANSAC) only working on <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">\mathbf {L}_{\text{red}}</tex-math></inline-formula>; third, in each handshake process, after receiving the global registration solution and the global iteration number <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">x_{H}</tex-math></inline-formula> from H-RANSAC, LCL-RANSAC uses the received global solution as the initial solution of the modified TEASER++ (M-TEASER++) method to calculate its first local registration solution. If the first local registration solution satisfies the global iteration number inheritance condition, LCL-RANSAC directly sends the accumulated iteration number, <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">x_{H} + 1</tex-math></inline-formula>, and the first local solution back to H-RANSAC; otherwise, LCL-RANSAC iteratively refines its local solution using the M-TEASER++ method, and then sends the resultant local solution and the required local iteration number <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">x_{\text{LCL}}</tex-math></inline-formula> to H-RANSAC for updating the global solution, the global iteration number to <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">x_{H} := x_{H} + x_{\text{LCL}}</tex-math></inline-formula>, and the global confidence level. Due to <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">|L_{\text{red}}| \ll |L|</tex-math></inline-formula> and employing the global iteration number inheritance condition test into our algorithm, we have conducted extensive experiments on testing point cloud pairs to show the registration accuracy and execution time merits of our algorithm relative to the state-of-the-art methods.
With the increase in global climate change, governments, relevant interest groups, and customers have begun to focus on environmental issues. This awakening of green consciousness has resulted in the ...growth of the green economy. Currently, gaining the preference of green consumers is regarded as a critical determinant of the survival and success of enterprises. Therefore, various products on the market claim to provide environmental benefits in their packaging and advertising. This study investigated consumer psychology and behavior from the perspective of information asymmetry by using signal theory. Moreover, the relationships among green product information asymmetry (GPIA), excessive product packaging (EPP), green product psychological ownership (GPPO), and green purchase behavior (GPB) are examined according to signal theory and psychological ownership theory to address the current research gaps in sustainable customer consumption. A questionnaire was used to validate the research hypotheses and framework. Analysis of the research data revealed that EPP and GPPO completely mediate the relationship between GPIA and GPB. Therefore, enterprises should reduce EPP and strengthen customers' GPPO. These steps would contribute to the promotion of GPB among customers.
Extensive research on corporate greenwash behavior has been conducted within sustainable consumption, yet aware of green product information asymmetry remains largely unexplored. Drawn upon ...value‐attitude‐behavior hierarchy, this study investigates the impact of corporate greenwash behavior on green purchase behavior among customers in Taiwan, with a particular focus on the mediating role of green trust and environmental attitudes and on the moderating role of green product information asymmetry. Customers purchasing green products in northern Taiwan were surveyed using an online questionnaire. Data were gathered on two distinct occasions via a survey, yielding responses from 390 consumers in Taiwan. Our findings reveal that green trust mediates the relationship between corporate greenwash behavior and environmental attitudes and environmental attitudes mediates the relationship between green trust and green purchase behavior. Interestingly, while an green product information asymmetry weakens the negative relationship between corporate greenwash behavior and green trust, and strengthens the positive relationship between environmental attitudes and green purchase behavior. Our study contributes new insights into the relationship between corporate greenwash behavior on green purchase behavior within the unique context SDG 12 for responsible consumption and production goals, highlighting the complex interplay of green product information asymmetry to green trust and green purchase behavior.
This study extends the research literature by exploring the relations among green organizational identity (GOI), green shared vision (GSV), green product development performance (GPDP), and ...organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE). Hypotheses were tested through structural equation modeling from a sample of 475 valid questionnaire respondents. The two main findings were as follows: (1) Positive effects for GOI and GSV between OCBE and GPDP and (2) Positive effects of OCBE for GPDP. The results further indicate that the relations among the GOI, GSV, and GPDP were partially mediated by the OCBE; the results point that the OCBE acts as mediator between GOI, GSV, and GPDP. After further examining the collecting data, we found (3) the relationship between GOI and GPDP is completely mediated by OCBE and (4) the relationship between GSV and GPDP is partially mediated by OCBE. These findings indicate that OCBE is critical in the GPDP of companies. Therefore, companies must develop the GOI and GSV to strengthen their OCBE and intensify their GPDP.
In a period of rapid information development and response to the impact of environmentalism on the company, how to effectively promote organizational members embracing knowledge sharing behavior ...through knowledge management will be an important issue in corporate green management. This article proposes a new integrated multi-level research framework based on organizational identity theory and psychological ownership theory to further analyze enterprise green management. Utilizing the data of 73 supervisors and 583 subordinates in Taiwan’s small- or medium-sized enterprises, results of the hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) analysis revealed that green group identification at the team level affects organizational members in terms of green product psychological ownership and green knowledge sharing as well as how green knowledge sharing, green creativity, and green product development performance are influenced when members get their green product psychological ownership. The results of the study validate the antecedents and consequences of green knowledge sharing and broaden the field of knowledge management for green management related to environmental behavior and performance, aside from providing valuable insights for relevant practitioners.
