Abstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand how identities drive customer values, attitudes toward organic foods and satisfaction, all of which influence world or mouth (WOM).Design/methodology/approachQuestionnaire surveys were administered to the purchasers of organic foods. In total, 512 completed responses were obtained for data analysis.FindingsStrongly defined social identity and role identity are significant antecedents of consumers’ health consciousness and socially responsible consumer behavior (SRCB). This finding explains why organic shoppers value their health and the environment (i.e. self- and others-oriented values). Additionally, health consciousness and SRCB significantly influence attitudes toward organic foods. The study reveals that attitudes toward organic foods positively influence organic shoppers’ satisfaction, and their satisfaction increases positive WOM. Finally, the moderating effects of involvement and mass media are examined. When organic shoppers are strongly involved with organic foods, their health consciousness has a more positive effect on their attitudes toward organic foods. However, organic shoppers’ involvement did not moderate the effect of SRCB on attitudes toward organic foods. Likewise, the mass media did not moderate the effect of health consciousness and SRCB on attitudes toward organic foods.Originality/valueThis study incorporates critical factors such as the antecedents of the customer values to develop a comprehensive model for understanding of organic shoppers’ consumption of organic foods.

Abstract:
The fashion industry has expanded at the expense of the environment. Consumption and environmental pollution both serve as a wake-up call to the global endeavour to adopt more socially and environmentally responsible behaviours. It implies, in particular, a paradigm shift in consumer behaviour away from conventional to green products. Understanding the factors that influence consumer purchasing decisions is critical in developing the demand for and commitment to sustainable apparel consumption. In support of the United Nation’s efforts to promote sustainable consumption in Malaysia, a study was conducted to determine the motivating factors that influence consumers’ purchase intentions for sustainable apparel. The moderating effect of fashion consciousness on the outcome was also examined. An extended model of the Motivation-Opportunity-Ability (MOA) Theory and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) was developed and tested using 324 responses collected from the Malaysian millennial generation in six major urban locations. The results of the structural equation modelling analysis indicated that the elements of motivation, opportunity, and ability were all positively linked with the sustainable apparel purchase intention. Fashion consciousness had a moderating effect on the relationships between the three drivers (motivation, opportunity, and ability) and purchase intention. The research findings provide valuable insights for businesses to formulate a sustainable and unified business model that incorporates environmental, social, and consumer considerations into core business practices. These insights would also help designers to advance the development of sustainable products as an area of innovation and support policymakers in achieving the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Abstract:
The rise in the world’s demand for fish is increasingly met by aquaculture. However, this sector still shows various criticalities in terms of sustainability of practices, first and foremost, that of feed availability. Nowadays, the use of insect meal represents one of the potential sustainable solutions, but consumption intention of fish fed with insect meal and the factors affecting it have not yet been adequately understood. This study investigates 318 Italian consumers’ intentions to buy fish fed with insect meal using an extended version of the Theory of Planned Behavior, including consumers’ moral attitude and sustainability consciousness as additional constructs. The results of structural equation models show that consumers’ high sustainability consciousness (6.16 on a scale from 1 to 7) does not influence their consumption intention of this product. Also, the two moderating variables involved in the model, i.e., the country of origin and price sensitivity, do not significantly affect consumers’ intentions. Since the analysis demonstrates that, for consumers, insect meal-fed fish conforms to their moral principles and a significant positive attitude toward this practice it could be argued that fish fed with insect meal can match the demand from consumers who feel responsible for their consumer behavior. Although the limited area of investigations and the high education of interviewed do not allow for generalizing of the results, this paper provides pivotal food for thought for companies, policymakers, and academics responding to previous research calls on understanding the role of some constructs of consumption intention and highlighting the levers on which to act to foster the consumption intention of insect-fed fish.

Abstract:
The article aims to analyse the worldview theories, which have become the basis for the concept of sustainable energy transformations. A number of ideas explaining the close connection between energy and environmental transformations, economic and technological progress of society and the state of the environment are considered. Energy transformations have become the research object due to the processes such as, on the one hand, the understanding of the future energy resources crisis, and on the other, the awareness of environmental problems that can lead to the real threat to humanity. The purpose of the article is to investigate philosophical concepts that lead to a new paradigm of satisfying human, and community needs in energy in the context of international and national economic strategies. The civilizational importance of the problem mentioned above and the urge to solve it at the global and local levels stimulates the curiosity of scientists and the activity of scientific and practical research in various fields. The object of scientific exploration is the economic and environmental effects of implementing renewable energy sources, the investment attractiveness of such projects; the innovative processes of renewable energy implementation and development are studied; environmental impact of various infrastructure elements is evaluated, in particular - in local systems; possibilities of the efficient architecture of the energy and ecological components of the urban environment, territorial communities, etc. are analysed. The concepts of environmental philosophy regarding the need for a harmonious combination of human and environmental needs are increasingly being taken into account in the development of state economic strategies and programs. The article states that an aspect of environmental consciousness change, building a new, socially responsible thinking of an economically and socially active part of society, and, ideally, most of humanity will remain of high importance for achieving sustainable development goals, in particular, sustainable modes of energy consumption.

Abstract:
PurposeConsumers are becoming increasingly socially conscious when making their purchasing decisions, which in turn is providing an incentive for firms to integrate social responsibility considerations into their product offerings. Explaining the various categories of socially responsible consumption (SRC) is therefore important. The purpose of this paper is to explain the various categories of socially responsible consumption.Design/methodology/approachGrounded in the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this paper surveyed a sample of 1,202 Hong Kong consumers.FindingsThe findings indicate that attitude towards the behavior, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control are all significant predictors of three categories of SRC (i.e. intention to purchase from firms based on their CSR performance, intention to practice recycling and intention to try to avoid or minimize their use of products based on their environmental impact). Intention to engage in SRC was then shown to be a significant predictor of SRC behavior.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper relied on only the single-factor test as a measure of socially desirable responding. Furthermore, while the quota sampling was designed for broad representativeness, it is difficult to verify if the well-controlled quota controls entirely removed the possibility of a biased selection of respondents within each cell.Practical implicationsRecommendations are made for public policy-makers and marketers to devise ways to shape consumer behavior to facilitate more responsible consumption.Originality/valuePrevious research relating to SRC has not explained the various categories of SRC and often failed to test the relationship between intention and behavior, representing a considerable gap in the literature. This paper applied the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to explain intention and behavior with regards to the various categories of SRC.

Abstract:
This study examines factors related to socially responsible consumption based on a sample of 636 Spanish consumers. The results indicate that socio-demographic factors such as sex, age, education level, and economic activity affect responsible consumption. In addition, it was found that in order to assess the antecedents of socially responsible consumption it is necessary to specify the type of consumer behavior (for example, purchasing specific products or initiatives against the purchase of certain products). It is found that perceived efficacy, affective commitment, and materialism explain different levels of variance in socially responsible consumption. Purchasing cause-related products is most influenced by affective commitment and perceived efficacy. Materialism affects purchasing motivated by firm behavior and the volume of consumption. The study finds that the referents to the responsibility that consumers adopt can be explained independently. In conclusion, with the aim of supporting a more sustainable society, the need for studies on anti-consumption behaviors as an instrument for sustainability is stressed.

Abstract:
This paper uses the experiential marketing concept to explain some of the motivations for socially responsible consumption. It is argued that practising responsible behaviour helps consumers to perceive five different types of experiential value: emotional, cognitive, sensory, relational and behavioural. A web-based survey on a panel of more than 1,000 North American respondents confirmed the presence of an average level of each experiential value type in responsible decisions. We also found evidence for gender and age differences in the perception of those experiential benefits. This study provides guidelines to better promote socially responsible consumption through enriching consumers' experiential motivations. The findings of this study also provide ideas for demographic-based targeting of responsible goods/services.

Abstract:
La présente thèse traite le rôle de la conscience environnementale, sociale et économique en tant que facteur de motivation dans l'adoption de comportements responsables par les consommateurs collaboratifs et les simplistes volontaires. Le contexte postmoderne actuel, caractérisé par une préoccupation croissante pour les questions sociales et environnementales, offre une opportunité unique d'étudier la transition vers des comportements socialement responsables. Cette recherche contribue à la compréhension de la manière dont la conscience pour une consommation socialement responsable peut motiver les consommateurs à adopter des comportements responsables. Les résultats de cette recherche fournissent des directives précieuses pour les différentes parties prenantes qui militent pour une consommation durable et socialement responsableThis thesis examines the role of environmental, social, and economic consciousness as a motivating factor in the adoption of responsible behaviors by collaborative consumers and voluntary simplifiers. The current postmodern context, characterized by a growing concern for social and environmental issues, presents a unique opportunity to study the transition towards socially responsible behaviors. This research contributes to understanding how consciousness of socially responsible consumption can motivate consumers to adopt responsible behaviors. These results provide valuable insights for various stakeholders advocating for sustainable and socially responsible consumption

Lee, Ada Lai Yung. "A social dilemma perspective on socially responsible consumption." HKBU Institutional Repository, 2016. https://repository.hkbu.edu.hk/etd_oa/587.
Abstract:
Recent research on corporate social responsibility has focused on the corporate level, whereas limited research has been conducted at the individual level most commonly referred to as socially responsible consumption. Recycling is a kind of socially responsible consumer behaviour because it benefits the society as a whole in the long term but involves a personal cost and does not benefit the individual consumer directly. Previous studies on recycling have used theories such as the theory of interpersonal behaviour, means-end chain theory, theory of planned behaviour or norm activation model. However, these theories have only explained part of recycling behaviour and are inadequate because they have not explained it from a social dilemma perspective. A social dilemma is a situation in which there is conflict between an individual's self-interest and the collective interest of the group. Will consumers pursue their own interests or will they act for the good of the entire society? This study takes an innovative approach to explain recycling behaviour through the lens of social dilemma theory. It uses a mixed methods approach that combines both qualitative and quantitative elements in the research design. A phenomenological approach is used to gain a deeper understanding of the recycling experiences of individuals, and survey data is used for quantitative analyses. In the qualitative study, 142 significant statements and eight themes were identified from 20 in-depth interviews. In the quantitative study, data were collected from 332 respondents. Based on the data analysis, the central relationships in the model are supported. There is a positive relationship between the expectation that others will participate in recycling and the likelihood of personal participation in recycling, and there is also a positive relationship between the likelihood of personal participation and recycling behaviour. Of the four moderators considered, only social value orientation is significant. In the latter part of this thesis, the theoretical and methodological contributions and practical implications of the study are discussed.

Abstract:
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2007.Socially responsible consumption plays a major role in achieving environmental sustainability in any part of the world. The aim of this investigation was to identify whether consumers in the Western Cape are socially responsible. The research was conducted using a sample of 200 consumers in the Cape Town area as a representative sample of the Western Cape. Data were gathered from respondents by means of a questionnaire. The statistical interpretation of the survey results were done by means of constructing frequency distribution tables since the data are nominal. The results of the analysis of the data pointed out that while consumers in the Western Cape demonstrated willingness to know how products are made before buying; they do not take into consideration the environmental and social impact of their purchases, meaning that they are not socially responsible consumers. Out of 167 completed questionnaires, 36% of respondents based their buying decision on the price and quality of products. This constitutes the single largest group of respondents in the survey. The results also revealed that consumers are willing to boycott products that are proven to be unethically produced, which is a positive development. Radio and television were the main sources of information for consumers about entities. In terms of the definition of moral standards, consumers proved to be idealistic, meaning that they believe that moral standards should be viewed as universal regardless of the society in which it occurs. These findings clearly indicate that while consumers in the Western Cape are not socially responsible, there are positive indications from the survey that can be used to improve the situation. Consumers' willingness to know how products are produced before buying, the willingness to boycott products proven to be produced unethically, and their idealistic view on moral standards are all positive indications for improvement. The recommendations provided in the study, if implemented, will go a long way towards making consumers more conscious about the social and environmental impact of their purchases.

Tabor, Desiree Lynn. "Consumption Practices and Middle-Class Consciousness among Socially Aware Shoppers in Atlanta." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2006. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/anthro_theses/13.
Abstract:
With the postmodern prevalence of shopping as both a recreational and subsistence activity, social class identity is increasingly constituted around access to the landscape of consumption. U.S. middle-class identity is normalized in commercial spaces and the exclusion of the lower-class from these spaces perpetuates wider social disparities. For socially aware members of the middle-class, distinction may be achieved by selectively shopping throughout the metropolitan area with the goal of influencing corporate practices. Yet this distinction is not without cost as middle-class shoppers are prime targets of identity marketing schemes and of the neoliberal regime’s construction of consent. Through 15 self-proclaimed middle-class shoppers’ reported use of Atlanta’s postmodern landscape of consumption, this study focuses on performances of middle-classness and representations of commercialized spaces with the goal of furthering the anthropological understanding of class identity and urban space as heterogeneous.

"The responsible consumer – Consumer consciousness from idea to delivery : an exploratory study of consumers’ willingness to act socially responsible when purchasing fashion online." Thesis, Högskolan Kristianstad, Fakulteten för ekonomi, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hkr:diva-20779.
Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate consumers’ willingness to act socially responsible in their online fashion purchasing behaviour. Three frameworks; Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), Socially Responsible Consumer Behaviour (SRCB) and Consumer Social Responsibility (CNSR), constitute a foundation and have been combined in a conceptual framework. The research approach used is a qualitative research approach, and the empirical data was gathered in two semi-structured focus-groups with five and six participants. The participants were recruited by a convivence sampling method, with purposive sampling characteristics. The findings indicate that factors that influenced consumers’ willingness to act socially responsible was price, convenience, and time. Moreover, the findings show that SRCB is seen as a process, and that consumers’ stage in the process influence their willingness to act socially responsible. Lastly, it is shown that the TPB and SRCB must be considered before consumers can act socially responsible. This since consumers who have positive attitudes towards responsible actions, are susceptible to information of social and environmental issues related to their behaviour. These consumers can create enough awareness to take social- and environmental responsibility for their actions. Responsible consumers also aim to influence other consumers to take a greater responsibility. The findings of this study have contributed to further understanding within the research area of responsible consumers. Since the conceptual framework consider consumer behaviour in combination with their areas of awareness and responsibilities, this study contributes to deeper understanding of why consumers act socially responsible or not.

Abstract:
Environmental deterioration has been and continues to be a serious problem in our consumer-oriented society. The ecologically detrimental effects of clothing waste are often unappreciated even by those who attempt to practice social responsibility in other areas of consumption. The purpose of this research was to examine the degree of social responsibility exhibited by individuals in their consumption of clothing.
The specific clothing acquisition and discard (CAD) behaviors studied were garment recycling. purchase of secondhand clothing purchase of classic style apparel, and general clothing conservation. A 26-item instrument (CAD scale) was developed to measure attitudes toward these behaviors. The scale was subjected to two pretests using student samples from VPI&SU and was analyzed by means of a computer program (PACKAGE) designed to assess reliability and dimensionality. Construct validity was evaluated by correlating the CAD scale with an established measure of attitudes toward socially responsible consumption. Correlation with a behavior measure was used to investigate the scale's predictive validity.
Data were obtained through the distribution of a questionnaire to a sample of 405 shoppers at a Roanoke, Virginia, mall. Only questionnaires with complete CAD scales (282) were used for analysis. This group of respondents was divided into three parts. the top third was considered to have favorable attitudes toward responsible clothing consumption and the bottom third to have less favorable attitudes. Chi-square tests compared the scores of both groups on clothing consumption behaviors. sociodemographic variables, and media usage variables. Stepwise discriminant analysis and correlation coefficients were also used to examine the relationship between attitudes and sociodemographic variables.
The CAD scale was found to be a reasonably reliable and valid measure of attitudes toward socially responsible clothing consumption as conceptualized. Respondents with favorable attitudes were older and had lower incomes and higher education levels than those with less favorable attitudes. They were also less inclined to be politically conservative and more likely to be married and living with their spouses. They watched more news and nature/wildlife television programs and fewer game shows. They also read more literary and educational magazines.Ph. D.

Abstract:
Mestrado em MarketingA Fair Trade Foundation observou que, na Europa, as vendas dos produtos provenientes do comércio justo aumentaram de 47% entre 2006 e 2007 (Fair Trade Foundation 2008). Embora em quantidade escassa, os estudos existentes sobre o comércio justo em Portugal permitem concluir que existe um segmento de mercado interessado nestes produtos mas as organizações ligadas ao comércio justo têm dificuldade em dinamizar e desenvolver este mercado no contexto Português. Perante isto, torna-se relevante entender melhor o processo de decisão de compra destes produtos, isto é, identificar variáveis explicativas da intenção de compra e das atitudes dos consumidores. A presente investigação analisa, no contexto Português, um conjunto de factores que são considerados em estudos anteriores como antecedentes da intenção de compra e das atitudes dos consumidores quanto ao comércio justo e aos seus produtos. Os resultados indicam que para a determinação da intenção de compra as variáveis mais relevantes são as atitudes e a idade dos inquiridos. Para a determinação das atitudes, são relevantes as variáveis de adesão a práticas de consumo socialmente responsável, a percepção da eficácia das práticas de consumo para a mudança social, o conhecimento subjectivo e objectivo, a percepção da quantidade e qualidade da informação disponível, as habilitações literárias, e os rendimentos mensais líquidos. Os resultados permitiram ainda identificar que existem diferenças significativas entre os inquiridos que já têm experiência anterior de compra de produtos do comércio justo e os inquiridos que não têm essa experiência. A análise dessas diferenças conduz a sugestões de modos diferenciados de actuação para gestores de Marketing de organizações interessadas em dinamizar o mercado do comércio justo em Portugal.
The Fair Trade Foundation noted that, in Europe, sales of fair trade products increased 47% between 2006 and 2007 (Fair Trade Foundation 2008). Although scarce studies on fair trade in Portugal allow us to conclude that there is a market segment interested in fair trade products but fair trade organizations have difficulty in developing this market in the Portuguese context. Therefore, it appears relevant to better understand the buying decision process of these products, and to identify variables that explain the purchase intention and attitudes towards fair trade of potential consumers. The present investigation analyses in the Portuguese context a number of factors that are considered in previous studies as antecedents of the purchase intention and of the attitudes about fair trade. Results indicate that the most relevant variables for explaining the purchase intention are respondents' attitudes and age. To determine attitudes, the most relevant variables are the importance given to socially responsible consumption, perceived consumption effectiveness for social change, subjective and objective knowledge, perceived quantity and quality of available information, respondent's occupation, and net monthly income. Results also show that there are significant differences between respondents who already have previous experience of buying fair trade products and respondents who do not have that experience. The analysis of these differences lead to some suggestions on differentiated ways of acting, which may help marketing managers interested in boosting the fair trade market in Portugal.

Abstract:
Parmi les travaux portant sur la consommation socialement responsable, peu se sont encore intéressés à l’enfant comme cible pertinente. Cette recherche s’inscrit dans la logique des actions étatiques qui s’emploient à comprendre et modifier les comportements non responsables chez l’adulte. En considérant l’intérêt de la socialisation dès le plus jeune âge, cette recherche vise à comprendre le processus de socialisation de l’enfant à la consommation socialement responsable via la méthode biographique des récits de vie. Nos résultats s’appuient sur l’analyse de 19 parcours de vie, composés de 16 consommateurs socialement responsables et 3 consommateurs ne se retrouvant pas dans ce mode de consommation, autonomes et âgés de 24 à 39 ans. Ce travail doctoral vise à comprendre comment le processus de socialisation peut guider l’enfant vers le rôle de consommateur socialement responsable. Plus exactement nous proposons de modéliser le processus de socialisation à la consommation socialement responsable en déterminant quand, comment et par qui les valeurs et compétences identifiées doivent être inculquées pour maximiser les chances de voir un enfant adopter ces comportements une fois devenu adulte. Plus précisément, cette étude permet de mettre en avant les mécanismes mis en œuvre tout au long de cette socialisation entre prédispositions incorporées pendant l’enfance et l’environnement dans lequel l’individu évolueAmong the studies on socially responsible consumption, little attention has been paid to the child as a relevant target. This research falls in line with the willingness of the state actions that attempt to understand and modify non-responsible behavior in adults. By considering the interest of socialization from an early age, this research aims to understand the process of socialization of the child to socially responsible consumption via the biographical method of life stories. The results are based on the analyze of 19 socially responsible consumers, made up of 16 socially responsible consumers and 3 consumers do not find themselves in this way of consuming, autonomous and aging from 24 to 39 years old. This doctoral work aims to understand how the process of socialization can guide the child towards the role of socially responsible consumer. Specifically, we propose to model the process of socialization to socially responsible consumption by determining when, how and by whom the identified values and skills must be instilled to maximize the chances of seeing a child adopt these behaviours in adulthood. Specifically, this study seeks to highlight the mechanisms implemented throughout this socialization process to reconcile skills and knowledge they gained during childhood with the environment in which they operate

Abstract:
Jacquet, d’aucy, Béghin-Say ou Labeyrie… ces marques font partie du quotidien des consommateurs français sans pour autant qu’ils sachent, dans leur grande majorité, qu’elles sont détenues par des coopératives agricoles. Si ces marques communiquaient leur statut coopératif, ceci constituerait-il une valeur ajoutée pour les consommateurs ? Ce travail doctoral s’intéresse au rôle joué par la représentation sociale des consommateurs au sujet du mode de gouvernance de l’entreprise productrice dans le cadre de l’évaluation des produits. Cette problématique de recherche est abordée selon trois questions de recherche. La première s’intéresse au contenu et à la structure de la représentation sociale des consommateurs français au sujet des coopératives. La seconde question étudie l’influence de cette représentation sociale sur la catégorisation et l’évaluation des offres coopératives, en considérant le rôle médiateur du niveau de congruence de l’offre avec cette représentation. La troisième aborde l’effet d’une mention et des arguments coopératifs sur les attitudes et intentions de comportement des consommateurs. Elle traite en particulier le niveau de congruence et de centralité des arguments par rapport à la représentation considérée. La représentation sociale des coopératives et son influence sont ainsi étudiées et discutées au moyen de sept études selon une approche multi-méthode. D’un point de vue théorique, cette recherche souligne, que la représentation sociale des coopératives fait écho aux préoccupations CSR des consommateurs ce qui explique l’effet bénéfique d’un label ou d’une mention sur ce statut. D’un point de vue méthodologique, cette recherche mobilise des méthodes d’investigations originales (méthodes hybrides et implicites) en complément des méthodes traditionnellement utilisées en marketing. D’un point de vue managérial, ce travail apporte des réponses aux managers et aux institutionnels qui s’interrogent sur le recours à une mention coopérative et les aiguille dans le choix d’arguments de communication efficaces pour accompagner cet affichageJacquet, d’aucy, Béghin-Say or Labeyrie... What do these brands have in common? These brands are part of the everyday life of French consumers, though not many actually know they are owned by agricultural cooperatives. If these brands communicated their cooperative status on the market, would this be considered by consumers to be an added value? This doctoral dissertation focuses on the role played by consumers’ social representation in relation to the producer’s governance mode, as part of the product evaluation. This work aims to answer this central research question according to three sub-questions. The first one focuses on the content and structure of the social representation of French consumers regarding cooperatives. The second question analyzes the influence of this social representation on the categorization and evaluation of cooperatives’ offerings, taking into account the mediating role of the level of congruence between the offer and this social representation. The third question addresses the effect of cooperative labelling and arguments on the attitudes and behavioral intentions of consumers. In particular, this sub-question evaluates the levels of congruence and centrality of the arguments with the considered social representation. Therefore, the social representation of cooperatives and its influence are studied and discussed in seven studies, though a multi-method approach. From a theoretical point of view, this research highlights that the social representation of cooperatives echoes consumers’ CSR concerns; this explains the beneficial effect of a label or a mention on this governance status. From a methodological point of view, this research uses original methods (hybrid and implicit methods) in addition to those that are traditionally used in marketing. From a managerial point of view, this work provides managers and institutional entities with answers on the potential of a cooperative mention and helps them choose arguments that will lead to effective marketing communications

Abstract:
Les consommateurs veulent, grâce à leur consommation, éliminer tout effet négatif et maximiser l'impact bénéfique à long terme sur la Société. Ce type de consommer est appelé la consommation socialement responsable. Des recherches sur ce concept ont été menées dans les pays occidentaux, mais relativement peu d'études ont porté sur les pays en Asie en général et au Vietnam en particulier. Notre volonté, dans ce travail doctoral, est de construire une échelle de mesure de la consommation socialement responsable dans le contexte du Vietnam et de modéliser la prise de décision du consommateur en matière de consommation socialement responsable dans lequel les orientations cultuelles, les valeurs personnelles, l'efficacité perçue et la valeur perçue influencent directement et indirectement sur le comportement du consommateur. Notre thèse met en évidence une structure de consommation socialement responsable en cinq facettes : orientation sociale, orientation éthique, sensibilité environnementale, consommation locale et souci d'économie avec 3 comportements vietnamiens typiques. La modélisation par les équations structurelles permet de valider partiellement le modèle proposé. En effet, le collectivisme vertical influence indirectement la consommation socialement responsable via les valeurs personnelles orientées vers les autres qui sont elles-mêmes influencent directement la consommation socialement responsable et indirectement celle-ci, via l'efficacité perçue et la valeur perçue. Cependant, le processus de décision du consommateur n'est pas identique entre les deux facettes de consommation socialement responsable étudiéesConsumer wants, through his or her consumption, to eliminate any negative effects and maximize the long-term beneficial impact on the society. This type of consume is known as socially responsible consumption. There exist a large body of literature on this concept in Western countries, but relatively few studies focused on countries in Asia in general and Vietnam in particular. This doctoral has two main aims. The first aim was to build a socially responsible consumption scale in the context of Vietnam. The second one was to propose and validate a consumer decision-making model regarding socially responsible consumption in a perspective of values in which cultural orientations, human values, perceived consumer effectiveness and perceived value directly and indirectly influence on consumer behavior. Our thesis highlights a socially responsible consumption structure in five facets: social orientation, ethical orientation, environmental awareness, local consumption and anxiety of economy with three Vietnamese typical behaviors. Modeling structural equations allows to partially validating the proposed model. Indeed, the vertical collectivism indirectly influences the socially responsible consumption via social-oriented values that are themselves directly influence the socially responsible consumption and indirectly influences the latter, via the perceived consumer effectiveness and perceived value. However, the consumer decision process is not the same between the two socially responsible consumer studied facets

Abstract:
The Fashion industry is facing significant structural and systemic challenges that require a paradigm shift. According to Agamben, the resilience of complex systems is the response to the ability to adapt and evolve through the adoption of innovative and alternative approaches that are able to transfigure reality by overcoming apparent difficulties. The notion of intempestivity, in particular, assumes a critical role in building resilience based on innovation and sustainability. It is defined as a dynamic form that requires a constant process of reinvention, using apparent damage as an opportunity to evolve toward substantial improvement. Calamities, pandemic threats, food crises, destruction of ecosystems and cultural heritages are just some of the negative phenomena, in many ways dramatic, with which design, increasingly has to deal from a survival perspective, returning to "new basic needs," as well as offering solutions to improve the quality of human life. In Europe, economic growth, closely dependent on increased production and consumption of resources generates harmful effects on the environment, eroding biodiversity, and altering climate stability, health and human well-being. Current production and consumption models do not follow sustainability criteria, triggering irreversible phenomena that require urgent intervention strategies. Earth Overshoot Day signals the date when humanity has used all the biological resources that the Earth regenerates throughout the year. While dramatic, the event stirs the consciousness of individuals, about the limits of the Planet and its depleted resources. An often overlooked but significant contributor to the environmental emergency is the overproduction of clothing. According to the World Bank, the Fashion sector is responsible for 10 percent of annual global carbon emissions. Despite approaches in terms of recycling and reuse, globally 88 percent of recycling refers to polyester from bottles, with only 12 percent of recycled material coming from pre-consumer and post-consumer textile waste; moreover, global production of sustainable materials is growing significantly, although there are still negative impacts due to resource leakage in processing. The European framework calls for more efficient management of textile waste, in relation to the development of circular processes in the relevant industry. The EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles calls for textiles to be free of harmful substances, durable, recyclable, and made with mandatory minimum amounts of recycled fibers by 2030; a generic statement that without specific objectives, results in non-compliant outcomes. The textile and apparel manufacturing sectors experience damage along the supply chain that needs a thorough investigation into production processes, shining a spotlight on the real possibilities of post-consumer recycling, from sorting to waste management, according to circular economy principles. From the complex relationship between raw materials, design and production practices and ecosystems, innovative solutions are determined by considering fragilities, environmental and social, to restore the balance. The paper brings together several case studies discussing the effectiveness of changing sectors through recycling and upcycling processes, circularity of materials, and reduction through textile waste valorization. Investigating the dynamics governing the post-consumer waste system, it reveals the effectiveness of upcycling processes in tracing models and conditions useful for sustainable transformation. The desired response of the textile/clothing sector transposes the paradigm shift between sustainable logic and the design perspective of recycling.

Abstract:
One of the aims of Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) is to create graduates who problem solve as socially responsible global citizens. We wanted to provide an opportunity for our students to address relevant, marketing and consumption challenges in new and innovative ways, and to develop analytical competences and professional skills and comportment in a real-life context. This paper describes the design, implementation and outcome of an inter-disciplinary and cross-programme ‘authentic assessment’ method which we have termed a ‘live case analysis’. The assessment comprised fieldwork, wider industry engagement, formative assessment components and a summative presentation. The method is discussed against the backdrop of a Curriculum Framework project which is underpinned by four design principles which centre around innovation, application, collaboration and flexibility. The performance of real-world tasks such as live case analysis strongly reflects the central pedagogical values of what, where and how people will learn at TU Dublin in the future.

Abstract:
Fashion generates billions of money and employs a huge number of people from different contexts including arts, marketing, advertising, engineering, law, and psychology. However, the urge for new trends, chic and distinct clothing resulted in a constant cycle of excess supply over demand, contributing to a high volume of waste. Environmental concerns of such mass production have increased significantly over time resulting in tons of waste worldwide from non-use of materials, causing environmental degradation and spill of hazardous chemicals. Consumer’s linear system of buy-use-or not use-dispose creates large negative effects on the environment and economic losses to entrepreneurs within this field. Similarly, there is no time to keep up with consumer demands, as entrepreneurs struggle with unstable, unrealistic, and competitive market conditions. These socio-environmental issues are a huge part of the fashion industry, and such concerns have reached new heights due to the rate of fashion devolution and inhumane practices that have gained traction in the industry. This comes as no surprise as calls for social and environmentally conscious fashion production have emerged. Behavioral change is urgently needed now more than ever in the industry. One such promising avenue to resolve the tension between fashion and socio-environmental issues in the industry is to apply psychological principles to this context. This sparks feelings of anxiety, losses, insecurity, and inadequacies among the entrepreneurs. Despite these challenges workers in this industry work to meet the increasing needs of consumers. Whilst this has contributed greatly to the success of many fashion houses, modern trends in organizational sustainability require psychologists to offer insights into how the fashion industry can manage social and environmental challenges in a manner that is deemed to be socially responsible by society. In light of this, the current work aim at exploring the functional systems of industrial psychologists and the role they play in enabling fashion businesses to adopt sustainable business practices. Deploying a systematic literature review approach, the results showed that fashion and psychology are both disciplines essentially about humans. That functionally, the psychologists seek to understand how individual fashion designers think, feel and behave. Since they can understand behavior, psychologists are better able to design programs that can lead to long-term behavior change at different levels in the industry. Psychologists play a crucial role in the fashion industry such as offering counseling and insights into consumer behavior, consumer preferences, and product designs that work to stimulate sales and after-sales services that are environmentally sustainable.

Abstract:
The growing environmental crisis and the proliferation of social inequality, with affective ties to the movements of predatory neoliberal globalization, desperately claim for the constitution of a truly sustainable future. To this end, it is essential to implement ethical, empathic, and cooperative behaviors and the reorientation of the market to consider the coexistence of human beings with nature in harmony. In this context, the global fashion system, characterized by mass production, low cost, and promoting excessive disposable consumption, devalues the natural diversity of the biosphere - from the extraction of raw materials to waste produced in the post-consumption - and contributes, directly and exponentially, to aggravate social inequalities and fracture, increasingly, the imbalance of ecosystems. The concept and practices of the Circular Economy have often been addressed to implement a sustainable production chain; however, it still neglects the social and cultural dimensions. Founded on the fashion production chain processes and their impacts on the lives of those who manufacture garments, on the community and environment in which we live, the purpose of this article is to present a sustainable model for designing and manufacturing fashion products. Social Economy values such as the social development of the people and communities involved, holistic development of the human being, diffusion of feelings of cooperation, respect, solidarity, and commitment, and, above all, ethical behaviors are the groundwork of this study. This framework absorbs characteristics of the Social Economy in the fashion industry and values sustainable human development supported by educational programs for workers, socially responsible sewing workshops, collaborative design, recognition of local knowledge, and social entrepreneurship. Furthermore, this model will empower the wage-earner community that produces fashion by participating in the design and development of apparel products. The methodology used included a literature review and analysis of reports; after identifying critical points of Social Economy theories, this study aims to provide a fairer model for developing products oriented towards the humanization of productive relations, transparency, and sustainability. Despite including SE's humanistic components to fulfill the CE's social gaps, this plan for Social Circularity can only overcome a few of the recurrent problems in fashion production. Standing as an in-progress framework requires both validation and deepening of socio-ecological aspects in implementing a holistic economy in its total multidimensionality.
