Abstract The purchase patterns have been shifted from tangibles to societal orientations, where religious orientation is the way forward for sustainable purchase behavior in expanding urban areas of a middle-income country. The ethical and responsiveness considerations through the connection between Islamic religious orientation (IsRO), purchase intention (PI), and total psychological contract (TPsC) is a research gap projected to be filled from multiple dimensions. Captivating the purchase intention and total psychological contract as mediating variables and analytical approach for religious orientation on purchase behavior constructed in the present research. The empirical assessment was executed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach based on the cross-sectional research design. There were 669 participants selected from large superstores, with ages ranging from 16 to 55 (M=3.38, SD=1.06), from Islamabad and Rawalpindi in Pakistan, from September 2018 to March 2019. The findings revealed that religious orientation level positively enhanced customer purchase behavior, purchase intention and psychological contract in organized retail stores and psychological contract played a mediating role in the influencing on the purchase behavior; whereas, the purchase intention also played a mediating role between religious orientation and customer purchase behavior. Therefore, the religious orientation stimulated a higher level of purchase behavior since it favored of the higher level of psychological contract and purchase intention in organized retail store customer. The study highlighted the value of cognitive and moral processes and psychological needs could be one of the crucial factors for improvement of perceptual change in terms of purchase behavior of retail consumers that connect psychological dimension with suitability indicators of being responsiveness and ethical consideration sourced from religious orientation. The implications pave the way forward for product development, purchase strategies, and retail market sensing for corporate retail chains and government utility stores for ethical business processes. Meanwhile, the government and enterprises need to strengthen the popularization and dissemination of environmental protection and food safety knowledge to enhance consumers’ environmental and food safety awareness, improving the social environment of the cultivation of the organic food market.

Societal security poses fundamental challenges for the doctrines of accountability and transparency in government. At least some of the national security state’s effectiveness requires a degree of non-transparency, raising questions about legitimacy. This article explores in cross-national and cross-sectoral perspective, how organizations seek to manage their reputation by accounting for their activities. This article contributes in three main ways. First, it highlights how distinct tasks facilitate and constrain certain reputation management strategies. Second, it suggests that these reputational considerations shape the way in which organizations can give account. Third, it considers three domains associated with societal security, namely intelligence, flood defense, and food safety, in five European countries with different state traditions—the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. By using a “web census,” this article investigates cross-sectoral and cross-national variation in the way organizations seek to account for their activities and manage their reputation. This article finds variation across tasks to be more dominant than national variation.

AbstrakTerjadinya berbagai macam penyakit yang bersumber dari makanan menyebabkan masyarakat semakin  sadar akan pentingnya mengkonsumsi makanan yang aman. Pengelolaan keamanan pangan harus dilakukan secara terintegrasi di sepanjang rantai pasok, agar tidak terjadi perubahan status pangan dari aman menjadi tidak aman. Oleh karena itu, untuk mengantisipasi perubahan tersebut, maka perlu dilakukan analisa risiko keamanan pangan pada rantai pasok agar dapat dirumuskan langkah- langkah strategis untuk meminimalisir risiko yang terjadi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) melakukan identifikasi kegiatan-kegiatan pada rantai pasok yang mengandung risiko terhadap keamanan pangan, (2)  melakukan pengukuran risiko keamanan pangan  yang terjadi pada rantai pasok pangan, (3) mengetahui kegiatan pada rantai pasok yang paling berisiko terhadap keamanan pangan. Obyek penelitian yang digunakan adalah rantai pasok ikan segar di wilayah Kab Sidoarjo. Pengolahan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode risk FMEA (Failure Mode Effect Analysis). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 11 kegiatan yang berisiko pada sistem keamanan pangan, yaitu: (1) pemberian makanan pada ikan; (2) pengelolan sistem kebersihan kolam/ tambak; (3) proses memanen ikan; (4) cara pemilahan ikan; (5) cara penyimpanan ikan; (6) cara pemasaran ikan; (7) jenis kendaran yng digunakan untuk pengiriman ikan; (8) cara penyimpanan saat pengiriman ikan; (9) cara memindahkan ikan; (10) cara penangganan ikan yang tidak terjual; (11) cara penangganan ikan tidak layak jual. Dari 11 kegiatan berisiko tersebut, skor resiko tertinggi terdapat pada cara penyimpanan ikan, cara pemasaran ikan, jenis kendaraan yang digunakan untuk pengiriman ikan dan cara pengemasan ikan pada saat distribusi.  AbstractThe occurrence of various diseases that are sourced from food cause the public increasingly aware of the importance of consuming safe foods. Food safety management must be integrated throughout the supply chain, in order to avoid the change of food status from safe to unsafe.

This research aims to (1) identify activities in supply chains that contain risks to food security, (2) measuring food safety risks that occur in the food supply chain, (3) to know the activities in the supply chain that are most at risk to food security. The research object used is fresh fish supply chain in Sidoarjo regency. Data processing is done by using risk method FMEA (Failure Mode Effect Analysis). The results show that there are 11 activities that are at risk to food safety system, namely: (1) feeding on fish; (2) management of pond cleanliness system; (3) the process of harvesting fish; (4) how to sort fish; (5) how to store fish; (6) how to fish marketing; (7) type of vehicle used for fish delivery; (8) how to store when shipping fish; (9) how to move fish; (10) unsubscriptions of unsold fish; (11) the way a fish subscription is not worth selling. Of the 11 risk activities, the highest risk score is in the way of fish storage, the way of fish marketing, the type of vehicle used for fish delivery and the way of fish packaging at the time of distribution. Keyword: Shain Supply; Safety Food; FMEA; Fish; Risk

The literature on the development of SMEs is clear: one of the most important obstacles to developing a private sector that also creates jobs is access to financial resources. This chapter presents the various economic players and their accessibility to finance: the public authorities, national, regional and local, the enterprises, and then in particular the SMEs and the traditional civil society. It also shows the conditions that succeed with the most effective results, incentives for start-ups and further developing companies, and the way targets are to be measured.
