Publication Open Access Unveiling triple bottom line’s influence on business performance2025-01-21 - Lopes, João M.; Nogueira, Elisabete; Gomes, SofiaAddressing environmental, social, and economic challenges has become a pressing global priority. The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework offers a holistic approach for evaluating corporate performance by integrating economic, envi- ronmental, and social perspectives. Despite its increasing adoption in both managerial and academic research, there remains a significant gap in understanding how the TBL framework influences business performance. To address this, the study conducts a bibliometric review of 207 publications from the Web of Science database. The review highlights the multifaceted impact of practices linked to the TBL dimensions on business performance while introducing the TBL Influence on Business Performance model. This model provides valuable insights into how businesses can effectively apply TBL principles to address socio-environmental challenges, foster innovation, and achieve sustained long-term performance. The findings contribute valuable theoretical and practical insights into how organizations can utilize TBL principles to strengthen resilience, innovation, and performance in the face of global socio-environmental challenges.Publication Restricted Access Circular packaging under suspicion: The cat and mouse game with greenwashing2025-05-28 - Lopes, João M.; Silva, Filipe; Gomes, Sofia; Nogueira, ElisabetePurpose – As consumers become increasingly savvy to deceptive marketing tactics such as greenwashing, the nexus between the desire to buy goods housed in circular packaging, environmental consciousness and the quest for pro-circular insights takes center stage in discussions surrounding conscientious and sustainable consumption. This study aims to evaluate how consumers’ perceptions of companies’ greenwashing behaviors influence their environmental concerns, the search for pro-circular information and consumers’ intention to purchase products with circular packaging. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 826 valid responses were obtained from consumers who purchased products with circular packaging. The partial least square method was applied. Findings – The findings indicate that consumers’ perception of greenwashing positively influences their environmental concerns, search for pro-circular information and intention to purchase circular packaging products. In addition, environmental concerns and the pursuit of pro-circular information independently enhance this purchase intention. Notably, the impact of greenwashing perception on purchase intention is stronger when mediated by environmental concerns and the search for pro-circular information, suggesting that environmentally conscious consumers, who actively seek pro-circular information, are more likely to respond to greenwashing by increasing their preference for circular packaging products. Originality/value – This research stands out for its original exploration of the complex dynamics between greenwashing and consumer behavior toward circular packaging. This study examines how environmental concerns and pro-circular information interplay with greenwashing to shape purchasing intentions, offering fresh insights into the pivotal role of transparent communication. This study’s innovative approach also lies in its analysis of the moderating effects of environmental consciousness and information, revealing how these factors can offset greenwashing’s negative impact. Furthermore, it provides a novel perspective by demonstrating the dual nature of perceived greenwashing and proposing actionable strategies, such as reducing misleading practices and enhancing government regulation, that empower both companies and consumers to foster sustainable choices, setting it apart as a forward-thinking contribution to the field.Publication Open Access Triple bottom line, sustainability and economic development: What binds them together? A bibliometric approach2023-04-15 - Lopes, João M.; Nogueira, Elisabete; Gomes, SofiaThe importance given to sustainable development paved the way for the development of the triple bottom line (TBL) concept. TBL is vital for the assessment of nations’ economic development (ED) beyond traditional economic measures. Despite this relevance, few studies still seek to deepen our understanding of the interaction between TLB and ED. Thus, this bibliometric study aimed to analyse the relationship between TBL, sustainability, and ED, adding business strategy concepts such as competitiveness, decision making, planning, and performance. We intended to reinforce the extension of TBL’s dominant rhetoric to sustainable ED. The results revealed the relationship between TBL and ED and allowed the identification of four clusters, from which a theoretical–conceptual model of the theory and application of TBL to achieve ED was formulated. This model can be adopted for the consolidation of ED through the TBL framework and as a tool to support business strategy related to obtaining competitive advantage; decision making; planning; and stimulating economic, social, and environmental performance.Publication Open Access Nexus between triple bottom line and economic development: an exploratory analysis of economic, environmental and social dimensions2024-03-08 - Nogueira, ElisabeteRecent global events, such as Covid-19 and the conflict in Ukraine, have disrupted the notion of a sustainable society, resulting in apprehension and economic uncertainty. These multifaceted crises have caused increased unemployment rates and heightened poverty levels, further enhancing existing concerns regarding societal welfare. Consequently, sustainability has gained significant prominence, compelling enterprises to adopt sustainable practices to maintain competitiveness. The triple bottom line framework has risen in importance as an indispensable tool for holistically addressing sustainability concerns. It places equal emphasis on the economic, environmental, and social dimensions, presenting a comprehensive approach that fosters sustainability, resilience, and innovation. It acknowledges the intrinsic connection between companies’ achievements and society’s overall well-being, while strengthening companies competitive positioning. The general objective of this thesis is to understand the influence that triple bottom line, and that each of its dimensions, economic, environmental and social, can exert on economic development. Establishing business strategies that will enable companies to achieve greater positive outcomes, while contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals. A profound understanding of these relations is imperative for ensuring enduring success in an ever-evolving global landscape. In order to achieve the proposed objective, a typology of mixed research, as outlined in Chapters 2 to 6, was employed. The research encompasses the deductive process and five studies that employ the following methodology: 1) bibliometric study; 2), 3) and 5) multiple linear regression models; and 4) meta-regression. Examining the results obtained, it has been established that the triple bottom line acts as an effective partner in the pursuit of boosting economic development, as well as contributing to the enhancement of sustainable outcomes. The three dimensions of the framework are geared towards achieving a unified goal, thereby enhancing firms’ performance. Theoretical frameworks that extend beyond the confines of economic sustainability, embracing the broader facets of environmental preservation and social well-being, are presented. Moreover, the research bridges the gap between theoretical constructs and practical application. Practical insights for both corporate entities and governmental bodies are provided to facilitate the translation of theoretical insights into concrete strategies. In summary, this thesis highlights the growing significance of sustainability in the contemporary business landscape, while it is focused on advancing theoretical understanding, practical application, and the scientific foundations of triple bottom line within the realm of the economic development.Publication Open Access The key to sustainable economic development: a triple bottom line approach2022-05-10 - Lopes, João M.; Gomes, Sofia; Nogueira, ElisabeteConcerns about improving social, environmental, and economic living standards are the basis of the triple bottom line (TBL) link to economic development (ED). Aware of the importance of studying their relationship, this article analysed the influence of TBL on ED. A quantitative method- ology was used. The sample comprised a panel of data from 2006 to 2019 for OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries. Five multiple linear regression models were estimated by the generalised method of moments. The results of this study revealed that the social dimension of TBL boosts ED, the environmental dimension of TBL slows down ED, and the economic dimension of TBL contains conflicting synergies in ED. The Human Development Index (HDI) should now include indicators of environmental wellbeing. Governments should adopt policies to improve social wellbeing to boost ED, work to coordinate the objectives of environmental protection and ED, and combat vulnerabilities arising from public debt. As one of the first studies to assess the influence of TBL on ED at the country level, the present findings contribute to the reflection about the influence of TBL on a country’s ED and strengthens the discussion around the influence of different dimensions of TBL.Publication Open Access Social Sustainability: Fostering employee wellbeing in contemporary business environments2024-04-20 - Nogueira, Elisabete; Névoa, ManuelIn the fiercely competitive landscape of global business today, effective management of top-tier human resources holds paramount significance. The stakeholder theory underscores the importance of addressing diverse stakeholder needs to enhance firm performance (Nogueira et al., 2023). Moreover, there is a growing emphasis on employee welfare as a critical factor in navigating the complexities of modern business (Salem et al., 2023). Within organizations, social sustainability has emerged as a complex concept with the potential to enhance employee well-being significantly (Prieto-Sandoval et al., 2019). Recognizing the urgent need to understand social sustainability, this study aims to investigate its impact on employees' well-being. Acknowledging employees as the most valuable organizational asset, this research seeks to comprehensively understand how social sustainability influences their wellbeing.Publication Open Access The contribution of the labour practices to organizational performance: The mediating role of social sustainability2024-04-18 - Lopes, João M.; Gomes, Sofia; Nogueira, ElisabeteIn the fiercely competitive global business environment, the attainment of excellence is contingent upon the efficient management of human resources and their alignment with sustainable development goals. This study examines the interplay between labour practices, social sustainability and organizational performance, with a focus on the often-ignored perspectives of employees. Employees, often neglected as critical stakeholders, shape corporate values and strategy. The study uses a quantitative approach, having applied the partial least square method for the proposed research model. Questionnaire responses from 574 Portuguese employees reveal that labour practices (employee development, employee participation and equal opportunity) positively influence perceived social sustainability. Perceived social sustainability positively influences perceived organizational performance. The examined labour practices only exhibit a positive influence on perceived organizational performance when perceived social sustainability acts as a mediator. Companies must place a high priority on the perceptions of their employees to achieve social sustainability. This involves incorporating inclusive, participative and proactive policies regarding human resources policies, thereby leveraging the mutual advantages derived from labour practices. This demonstrates the pivotal role of social sustainability in companies' decision- making processes, as it substantially contributes to enhancing organizational performance. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating social sustainability to maximize organizational performance, providing valuable insights for business leaders. The original model, social sustainability-driven organizational performance, which is based on employees' perceptions, identifies labour practices as antecedents of social sustainability, and the influence of social sustainability, both directly and as a mediator, on organizational performance, is presentedPublication Open Access Triple bottom line, sustainability and economic development: Theoretical insights and the research agenda2022-09-29 - Lopes, João M.; Gomes, Sofia; Nogueira, ElisabeteAn analysis of the relationship between Triple Bottom Line (TBL), economic development (ED) and sustainability was undertaken to strengthen the extension of TBL’s dominant rhet- oric to sustainability- aligned ED and pave the way for new lines of research. We used the Web of Science database and gathered for analysis 37 publications, which simultaneously respected the keysearchterms:TripleBottomLine,EconomicDevelopment and Sustainability, to carry out a bibliometric analysis of the literature. Four clusters were identified and designated as: social development, social entrepreneurship, economic development and sustainability. This study includes an analysis of the evolu- tion of publications and citations, co-occurrence of keywords, identification of research lines and analysis of bibliographic coupling study. It also combats the scarcity of publications relating TBL, ED and sustainability. A table of research trends, a mapping of publications and the directions that should be followed by the academy are presented. The fact that the bibli- ometric literature review was based only on the Web of Science, the applied filtering process and the use of software may have omitted the literature. The need to expand TBL beyond the companies’ core business to more global concerns and a holistic study of TBL was identified.Publication Open Access AI’s invisible touch: how effortless browsing shapes customer perception, experience and engagement in online retail2024-12-14 - Lopes, João M.; Trancoso, Tiago; Gomes, Sofia; Nogueira, ElisabeteThis study explores the influence of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled ease of use on customer perception, experience, and engagement in online retail stores. Through a quantitative analysis of 1438 responses from Portuguese consumers, the research reveals that AI-enabled ease of use positively influences customers’ perceived control, concentration, and cognitive enjoyment while browsing online stores. These perceptions, in turn, contribute to the elicitation of awe, which is found to be a crucial mediating factor in the relationship between customer perceptions and purchase intention. The study highlights the significant role of awe in strengthening the link between customer perceptions and purchase intent, rendering previously non-significant direct effects statistically significant. The findings offer valuable implications for online retailers seeking to leverage AI technologies to enhance customer experiences and drive sales. By prioritizing ease of use, cognitive enjoyment, and perceived control, and strategically leveraging the mediating role of awe, retailers can create engaging and memorable online shopping experiences that ultimately translate to increased customer satisfaction and purchase intention.Publication Open Access Educational insights into digital entrepreneurship: the influence of personality and innovation attitudes2025-02-05 - Lopes, João M.; Gomes, Sofia; Nogueira, ElisabeteDigital entrepreneurship implies a radical transformation of economic paradigms, allowing new entrepreneurs to create a more sustainable, creative, and connected future. This study explores the influence of higher education students’ personality traits on their innovative digital attitude and digital entrepreneurial intention. It also explores the moderating role of digital entrepreneurial education in the relationship between innovative digital attitude and digital entrepreneurial intention. To this end, a sample of 417 higher education students residing in Portugal was collected through a questionnaire made available online, and the partial least square method was applied to a formulated research model. The results reveal that an innovative digital attitude positively influences the digital entrepreneurial intention of higher education students in Portugal. The Big-Five personality traits directly affect innovative digital attitudes but not their digital entrepreneurial intention. However, this relationship becomes significant when the relationship between personality traits and digital entrepreneurial intention is mediated by an innovative digital attitude. Furthermore, the intensifying role of digital entrepreneurial education was demonstrated in converting students' innovative digital attitudes into their digital entrepreneurial intention. Thus, this study indicates that personality traits, which are still scarcely addressed in entrepreneurship, can be an explanation of innovative digital attitudes and predictors of digital entrepreneurial intention, as well as the important role of digital entrepreneurial education in boosting digital entrepreneurship.
