    AI’s invisible touch: how effortless browsing shapes customer perception, experience and engagement in online retail
    2024-12-14 - Lopes, João M.; Trancoso, Tiago; Gomes, Sofia; Nogueira, Elisabete
    This 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.

    The key to sustainable economic development: a triple bottom line approach
    2022-05-10 - Lopes, João M.; Gomes, Sofia; Nogueira, Elisabete
    Concerns 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.

    The key to sustainable economic development: A triple bottom line approach
    2022-07-15 - Lopes, João M.; Gomes, Sofia; Nogueira, Elisabete
    Purpose: The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) construct, outlined by Elkington in 1996, assumes that value creation results from three dimensions, social, environmental, and economic, which must be accounted for (Elkington, 2006; Solaimani & Sedighi, 2020). It has at its core the support and management of activities that privilege development (Ranjbari et al., 2021). And gained traction at all levels of government and in business (Lederwasch & Mukheibir, 2013). Economic development (ED) is created by the process of creative destruction (Schumpeter, 1934) and translates into an organic system of successive qualitative changes (Schumpeter, 1947). It is responsible for sustainable development, at the country level, in the long term (Porter, 2000). It is also at the level of the countries that there is an obligation of harmony in the management of resources, be they social, environmental, or economic (Ahmad et al., 2018; Manzhynski et al., 2015). These are concepts that share particularities in their very nature. However, despite recognizing the importance of TBL in ED, it has been given little attention in this scientific field (Hammer & Pivo, 2017). To fill this gap, this study seeks to analyze the impact of TBL on ED, in the time frame from 2006 to 2019, in the 38 countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).Methodology: Starting from the main objective of analyzing the influence of TBL on countries' ED, we consider for our sample the 38 OECD countries and the period from 2006 to 2019. HDI data were collected from the United Nations Development Programme (United Nations Development Programe, 2022) and SSI from the Technische Hochschule Köln (Technische Hochschule Köln, 2022). HDI was used as a proxy for ED and is the dependent variable as used by authors Hussain and Dey (2021) and Zelenkov and Lashkevich (2020). The three dimensions (human well-being, environmental well-being, and economic well-being) and the seven categories (basic needs, personal development & health, well-balanced society, natural resources, climate & energy, transition, and economy) of the SSI represent the TBL and are the independent variables. The hypotheses formulated were tested through the estimation of five multiple linear regressions, using the Generalized Method of Moments. Results: In model 1, it was concluded that only the social dimension had a positive influence on the HDI of OECD countries. In model 2, it was found that the categories that refer to the social and economic dimensions positively influenced the HDI, while those that represent the environmental dimension did not positively influence the HDI. According to model 3, it was found that the categories that represent the social dimension of the TBL positively influenced the HDI. In turn, in model 4, the variables that reflect the environmental dimension of the TBL did not positively influence the HDI. Finally, in model 5, the transition variable had a positive influence on the HDI, while the economy variable was not statistically significant. We conclude 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. This study makes even more evident the need for theoretical reflection to consider inclusion in the HDI indicators that translate the environmental dimension into the ED. It should be noted that supporting the progress of the social dimension of TBL is not only a guarantee of a qualitative improvement in the lives of populations but also a driver of ED. Thus, governments should consider investments in projects that increase the level of human well-being as a way to stimulate ED. Policies are also needed to improve coordination between environmental protection and ED objectives so that conflicting synergies between these two forces can converge and improve the ED framework. Governments should also assess and address vulnerabilities arising from high public debt to increase their capacity to implement policies that foster ED. Research limitations: Despite the contributions of our study, this is not without limitations. The use of SSI to measure TBL and of HDI to measure DE instead of other variables may bias the results. Also, the choices made when performing the econometric techniques may influence the results, as Dogan and Turkekul (2016) assume. Originality: Although there are some studies on the link between TBL and ED, as far as we know, there is still no study that ascertains the influence of TBL on ED in OECD countries. Besides of adding new perspectives to previous discussions, we also identify the social dimension of TBL as a driver of ED; the environmental dimension of TBL as an element that slows down ED, and the economic dimension of TBL as having conflicting synergies in ED.

    2025-04-14 - Nogueira, Elisabete; Montenegro, Zulmira
    Sustainable tourism has emerged as a critical focus in contemporary discussions surrounding environmental conservation and social responsibility. As global tourism continues to expand, the need for sustainable practices becomes increasingly urgent to mitigate adverse impacts on natural ecosystems and support local communities. This article presents a systematic literature review dedicated to exploring the key research trends in sustainable tourism from 2015 to 2024. The review aims to synthesize existing knowledge and highlight the importance of sustainability in the tourism sector. Data for this review was collected from the Scopus database, utilizing the keywords "sustain* tourism". This search yielded a total of 620 articles, reflecting a robust body of research in this vital area. A thematic evolution analysis was subsequently conducted to map the most prominent research areas and uncover existing gaps and opportunities for future inquiry. By focusing on the evolution of themes within the field, this study provides insights into both current and emerging topics relevant to sustainable tourism. Findings show that, the themes in sustainable tourism research have shown both divergence and convergence over time. From 2015–2019, "sustainable tourism" split into "sustainable tourism," "governance," and "development" by 2020–2022, with the latter two peaking during this period. Simultaneously, topics like "community participation," "place attachment," and others converged into "sustainable tourism." By 2023–2024, research trends displayed greater specificity. The findings from this literature review are importance to various stakeholders, including academics, policymakers, businesses, and governmental agencies. By offering a thorough perspective on sustainable tourism research, the review aims to facilitate informed decision-making processes and foster the development of more effective strategies that address sustainability challenges within the tourism industry. Furthermore, this article serves as a vital resource for guiding future research endeavours and practical applications aimed at resolving the complex issues associated with sustainability in tourism. Ultimately, the emphasis on sustainable tourism practices not only contributes to the conservation of natural and cultural resources but also ensures the well-being of local communities and the overall health of tourist destinations. By fostering collaborative efforts, this review underscores the importance of integrating sustainability into the core of tourism development strategies for a more equitable and sustainable future.

    Nature's safecrackers: Decoding substitutability and protecting natural capital in innovation ecosystems SSA and MENA regions
    2024-10-24 - Ferreira, João; Lopes, João M.; Dabic, Marina ; Gomes, Sofia; Nogueira, Elisabete
    The innovation ecosystems in economies dependent on natural resources use these assets as fundamental capital to promote development and economic growth. Ensuring the lasting sustainability of these economies represents a difficult challenge, especially in a context of limited and irreplaceable natural capital. This study explores indicators of natural capital protection (environmental quality, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, protection of biodiversity and ecosystems, and cultural and social values) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the Middle East, and North Africa (MENA), two regions dependent on natural resources. A new panel quantile estimation technique is applied to panel data covering 59 countries from 2019 to 2023. The results indicate that, in SSA economies, lower levels of these indicators contribute positively to higher levels of natural capital protection. In the MENA economies, only higher levels of environmental quality and cultural and social values contribute positively to higher levels of natural capital protection. The critical implications arising from this study emphasize the urgent need to implement strategies aimed at safeguarding natural capital in economies heavily dependent on it. These strategies include resilient urban development, investment in climate resilient infrastructure. The strategies include resilient urban development, investment in climate-resilient infrastructure, recognition and valorization of environmental services, attention to modern renewable energy technologies, environmental education, greater consideration of the balance between environmental sustainability and human well-being by governments, and recognition of the impacts of globalization on environmental sustainability and human development. The uniqueness of this study lies in its pioneering approach to the pressing issues of protecting natural capital in natural resource-dependent economies. It is a pioneer in analyzing several countries in two regions regarding synergies between protecting natural capital and its indicators in economies dependent on natural resources.

    Educational insights into digital entrepreneurship: the influence of personality and innovation attitudes
    2025-02-05 - Lopes, João M.; Gomes, Sofia; Nogueira, Elisabete
    Digital 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.

    Circular packaging under suspicion: The cat and mouse game with greenwashing
    2025-05-28 - Lopes, João M.; Silva, Filipe; Gomes, Sofia; Nogueira, Elisabete
    Purpose – 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.

    Charting Resource Efficiency Practices Across European Firms: A Multilevel Analysis
    2026-03-01 - Gomes, Sofia; Lopes, João M.; Nogueira, Elisabete
    The circular economy (CE) is a key sustainability paradigm, prompting European Union (EU) organizations and policymakersto move beyond linear production and consumption models. The study aimed to assess the implementation patterns of nineCE activities among EU companies and to explore how the implementation of these CE activities relates to certain firm-levelcharacteristics. A multilevel latent class model was employed in a sample of 13,084 companies across the 27 EU Member States.The study reveals significant variation in the implementation of CE activities across countries and companies, identifying fivedistinct company classes ranging from those with no CE adoption to those that are advanced adopters, with all nine activities.It also identifies six geographically dispersed country groups, each with a unique composition of companies based on their CEengagement. Furthermore, companies with higher CE implementation are typically larger, despite the sample being predomi-nantly comprised of micro and small enterprises, older (having been established for over 7 years), and reporting higher annualturnover. These firms also tend to invest a smaller proportion of their turnover in resource efficiency measures. This studyadvances circular economy research by integrating the resource-based view and dynamic capabilities theory, demonstratingthat sustained CE implementation requires both valuable resources and the dynamic ability to reconfigure them in responseto changing contexts. It also reveals significant variations in CE adoption across EU regions and firms, advocating for tailored,sector-specific policies and practical measures, such as financial incentives for SMEs and enhanced managerial training, todrive sustainable transitions.

    Exploring psychosocial predictors of AI use intention: The moderating role of organisational culture in diverse workplaces
    2026-02-12 - Lopes, João M.; Gomes, Sofia; Nogueira, Elisabete; Ferreira, João J.; Dabic, Marina
    Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming workplaces and shaping how employees perceive and interact with technology. Drawing on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Organisational Culture Theory, this study examines how psychosocial predictors, promotion focus, positive reinterpretation and technostress influence workers' perceived usefulness of AI and their intention to use it. It also tests whether an adaptable organisational culture strengthens the relationship between perceived usefulness and intention to use AI. Data were collected from 422 Portuguese respondents and analysed using partial least squares. Results show that both promotion focus and positive reinterpretation positively affect perceived usefulness and the intention to use AI at work. Technostress negatively affects perceived usefulness but does not significantly impact intention to use AI. Perceived usefulness mediates the effects of psychosocial predictors on intention: the indirect effects are positive for promotion focus and positive reinterpretation and negative for technostress. Moreover, a highly adaptable organisational culture amplifies the positive link between perceived usefulness and employees' intention to adopt AI. The study extends TAM by incorporating psychosocial antecedents and provides empirical support for the moderating role of cultural adaptability, offering insights for fostering responsible and sustainable AI adoption across diverse organisational contexts.
