The Impact

This paper applied a self-administered survey to investigate the impact of organic food behavior and the intention-behavior gap in organic food consumption (OIBG) on consumers’ subjective wellbeing including physical, emotional, social and intellectual dimensions. The survey was carried out with 385 consumers. Furthermore, the study conducted a food test to explore the different impacts of organic and conventional food samples on the mental and physical conditions of consumers’ wellbeing applying a psychological questionnaire. The food test took place in a sensory lab with a panel of 63 untrained German consumers. The research findings demonstrated a positive impact of the organic food consumption on consumers’ subjective wellbeing, while no negative impact of OIBG has been perceived. Moreover, during the food test, consumers distinguished no differences between the impact of organic and conventional stimuli on their mental and physical status. Understanding how consumers perceive the impact of organic food consumption on their wellbeing is one important aspect. However, in the interest of narrowing the OIBG, it is more important to understand how consumers perceive the impact of this gap on their daily-life wellbeing.

PurposeAlthough literature indicated that business social responsibility (BSR) is now a common practice and accepted norm among business enterprises globally, the concept is not well understood and its influence on business performance is contradictory. Therefore, based on the stakeholder theory, the purpose of this paper is to examine the association among trust of BSR and the performance of small-scale industries in Nigeria with organizational culture as a moderating factor.Design/methodology/approachThe hypotheses of the study were tested using personally administered survey questionnaires; the study obtained 486 valid questionnaires, which were evaluated using SmartPLS Algorithm and bootstrapping functions.FindingsThe research findings were established using SmartPLS Algorithm and bootstrapping functions. According to the results, the research constructs have a satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity. Equally, the overall model has a very high predictive relevance. In addition, the results showed that all the predicting variables explained 40 percent variance in the criterion variable. Thus, the study established strong positive influence of trust of BSR on the small-scale industrial performance. Correspondingly, the study established a strong positive impact of organizational culture on the performance of the small-scale industries. However, the study could not establish the moderating influence of organizational culture on the constructs.Research limitations/implicationsThe study used perceptions of owner/managers and only small-scale industries.Practical implicationsThe research findings may be found beneficial to policy makers and academics, particularly in understanding trust of social responsibility, its influence on performance of small-scale industries and fit between organizational culture and strategic direction of a business enterprise.Originality/valueThe study offers some meaningful contribution to knowledge on BSR by exploring the mechanisms connecting trust of BSR with performance. Also, research expert in the field of BSR usually explores the advantage of these findings by utilizing the action of BSR on internal and external stakeholders.

The purpose of this research is to identify the condition of MSMEs and the actions taken to survive the COVID-19 pandemic. The subjects in this study were MSMEs in three provinces, namely East Java (Surabaya and Gresik), Central Java (Pekalongan and Cilacap), and Riau (Pekanbaru). The method used in this research is a literature review with a descriptive research type. This means that the data in this study are secondary data from the research results of other researchers. The literature sources in this thesis are five journals of research results on MSMEs in East Java (Surabaya and Gresik), Central Java (Pekalongan and Cilacap), and Riau (Pekanbaru) during the COVID-19 pandemic. To carry out the analysis, the researcher used the concept of J. Scott's (1981) moral economic behavior theory which has two basic assumptions. It is a subsistence economy and safety-first behavior to avoid risk. The results, first, the researchers looked at the conditions of MSMEs in East Java, Central Java, and Riau which was in a subsistence condition or was in minimal conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic such as decreased sales turnover, difficulty in raw materials, reduced consumers due to social restrictions and regulations. the distribution system was also obstructed because of the social restrictions imposed by the government. Second, the researchers also looked at the moral economic behavior & safety first of MSME actors in two categories. The first category is the one that has a positive impact on the behavior such as improving the quality of production, keeping product prices affordable, and maintaining good relations with consumers to form consumer loyalty to MSMEs. Then, for the second category, those that have a negative impact on the sustainability of MSMEs in the midst of a pandemic can be seen in the use of conventional marketing methods, lack of innovation in products and some even implement a “loss-sold” as long as it can be sold; strategy because of lack of product quality and to minimize losses.
