Antón Maraña, Paula; Pérez Cornejo, Clara; Rodríguez Torrico, Paula Purpose – Current consumption patterns have aggravated environmental degradation. In response, collaborative consumption (CC) through collaborative platforms (CPs) has emerged as a sustainable alternative. Although CPs can support sustainability, their environmental benefits remain contested, following the observation of consumerism rebound effects. Given education’s potential to increase knowledge about the importance of sustainability, this study aims to explore the impact of sustainable development education (SDE) on the extrinsic motivations (functional utility, economic utility, moral utility and hedonic utility) and intrinsic motivations (ecological awareness, eco-anxiety, green orientation and consumerism) that improve attitudes toward CPs and increase intentions to use them. Design/methodology/approach – This research is based on two studies, each using a different sample: one of high school students (N = 232) and one of older people enrolled in a lifelong learning program (N = 157). A questionnaire collected the data that were analyzed to test the research hypotheses. Findings – SDE significantly influences intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. The results suggest that CPs are primarily used for commercial rather than sustainability purposes because attitudes are predominantly shaped by extrinsic motivations. In addition, motivators play a mediating role in the proposed model. Practical implications – This study highlights critical social and practical implications by emphasizing the need for educational systems that promote responsible consumption and challenge students’ consumeristic and materialistic tendencies. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to examine the influence of SDE on CC and comprehensively explore the roles of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations in the context of CPs, shedding light on the CC paradox.

The main aim of this study is to analyze the moderating effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting quality on the relation of CSP and corporate reputation through two effects. First, it may enhance the firm's credibility because CSR reporting favors CSP consistency by reducing managers' CSR discretion and easing CSP comparability along the time. Second, it may increase the visibility of CSR actions beyond direct stakeholders involved in them. Analyzing an international sample of 132 companies from nine countries for the period 2011–2016, we show that all of the CSP dimensions (social, environmental, and economic) positively affect corporate reputation. We also find that good CSR reporting quality increases the intensity of the environmental and social performance effects on corporate reputation. Results provide a new perspective of the role CSR reporting quality that managers have to deal to get better impacts of CSP on corporate reputation.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance is an important signal for stakeholders to build such expectations. Drawing on signaling and institutional theories, this study examines how national corruption moderates the relationship between CSR performance and corporate reputation based on the coexistence of institutional adaptation processes (institutional isomorphism) and differentiating strategies (signaling effect) across firms. Panel estimators were applied to a sample of 586 observations from 127 companies across eight European countries from 2011 to 2016. The results confirm that CSR performance affects corporate reputation and reveal that, in countries with higher levels of corruption, CSR has a greater effect on corporate reputation. These findings provide further evidence of the moderating effect of contextual factors on the process through which stakeholders build expectations about firms.

However, the perceptions, expectations, and interests of stakeholders may be affected by external factors, such as national culture, which shapes their beliefs about what role companies play in society. Drawing on institutional theory and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, we analyze how stakeholders’ national culture moderates the relationship between CSP and corporate reputation. The results of the analysis of an international sample for the period 2010 to 2016 show that low individualism (i.e., collectivism), low masculinity (i.e., femininity), low power distance, and low uncertainty avoidance intensify the positive relationship between CSP and corporate reputation.
