Call for papers. Advancing Pro-Environmental Behavior: From the Workplace to Consumer Actions

2024-05-30

Dear colleagues,

Nowadays, achieving environmental sustainability is one of the most relevant challenges for society. Companies and consumers’ behaviours can play a key role to improve global environmental sustainability. For instance, companies can design and implement environmental practices aimed at reducing energy and resource consumption or encourage employees to perform a behaviour that contributes to greening organizations.

Furthermore, it is necessary to learn more about the environmental repercussions of certain goods and services, also understanding consumers’ perceptions of green products and their motivations to perform environmentally friendly behaviours.

We would like to invite contributions to a Special Issue of the Revista Galega de Economía dedicated to an analysis of pro-environmental behaviour at work and consumer pro-environmental behaviour.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

Green workplace initiatives and employee engagement.
Employees attitudes and behaviours towards pro-environmental behaviours.
The role of leadership in fostering pro-environmental behaviours at work.
Strategies for reducing raw materials, wastes and improving energy efficiency in the workplace.
Promoting green transportation for commuting to work.
Green purchase, green packaging and green supply chain management.
Green human resource management practices.
Consumer perceptions and attitudes towards green products.
Green marketing strategies and consumer behaviour.
Eco-labeling and consumer behaviour.
Factors influencing green purchasing decisions.

Deadline for manuscript submission:

Original research is welcome for publication in this issue. All submissions will undergo double-blind anonymous review to guarantee high scientific quality and relevance to the subject. The Special Issue will be open for submission from 1st June 2024. The deadline is 31st December 2024. Accepted articles will be published on-line approximately one month after acceptance.

The Regional Firm Density and the Growth of Firms in the Portuguese Textile and Clothing Industry

Rolando Vaz

plugins.generic.forthcoming.article.published 16-05-2024

This paper focuses on the relationship between the regional firm density and the growth of firms in the Portuguese textile and clothing industry to investigate how their geographic clustering influences said growth. Despite the concentration of this industry in the Northern region of Portugal in only four poles, our results show that the location of firms in the cluster is not relevant for growth when the whole industry is considered. However, disaggregate analysis shows that the clothing industry does exhibit both location externalities and cross-location effect, while textile manufacture exhibits neither. In addition, our empirical evidence reveals that the growth of firms located in the cluster is positively correlated with external finance. This result suggests that location becomes a solvency signal for firms, and, specifically, this might help to explain why textile manufacturers firms are located in the cluster. These findings are relevant for entrepreneurs and Portuguese policymakers, as it jeopardizes the optimal allocation of scarce resources in the Portuguese textile cluster.

This paper deals with the determinants of education-job match for higher-education graduates, using a logistic regression model to identify explanatory variables related to sociodemographic, academic trajectory and institutional characteristics. The empirical analysis is based on an anonymous online questionnaire administered to a sample of graduates, from 2014 to 2019, in Portuguese institutions, of which about five hundred observations were made. Although the boundaries between universities and polytechnics are less obvious today, there are still some differences between the two higher-education subsystems regarding education-job match. The main ones are related to the field of study, gender, and the need to move away from home to study and work. Factors that improve the probability of education-job matching, common to both subsystems, were also found, such as having i) studied ‘social sciences, commerce, and law’ and ‘engineering, manufacturing and construction’, ii) attained good final grades, and iii) participated in extracurricular activities involving complementary training.

Los mecanismos de asignación en uso en los mercados de médicos internistas heredaron de la teoría del emparejamiento, de la cual presentamos una breve introducción, de propriedades normativas atractivas, en particular permite proveer un mayor bienestar a los médicos e implementar asignaciones de internos a hospitales estables. Contrastamos las ventajas y desventajas teóricas de un mercado centralizado respecto a uno descentralizado bajo la óptica de la propiedad de emparejamiento por tipos similares.
