how fairness perceptions embeddedness and knowledge sharing drive green innovation in sustainable supply chains an Equity Theory and network perspective to achieve sustainable development goals
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2020Co-Authors: Min Zhou, Kannan Govindan, Xiongbiao XieAbstract:Abstract The response to increasingly serious environmental issues is no longer limited to companies but is an important issue among supply chains. Green innovation is an essential segment of gaining a competitive advantage in the sustainable supply chain to achieve sustainable development goals. However, boosting sustainable supply chain development through green innovation is a complex network activity in which a large number of partners are embedded, and the need exists to transfer or share knowledge in an equal and reasonable exchange process. This study proposes a novel framework to explore perceptions of fairness that include procedural and distributive approaches as antecedents. We also examine embeddedness, knowledge sharing, and green innovation in the sustainable supply chain in terms of Equity Theory and a network scenario. This study contributes to the sustainable development goals (SDG’s) such as Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8); Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG 9); Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12) and Climate Action (SDG 13). Useable sets of data were collected and used to test our theoretical hypotheses by surveying 225 firms in China’s manufacturing supply chain sectors. The research model is analysed by the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) methodology. The empirical findings reveal that perceived fairness constructs that consist of procedural and distributive fairness have a highly positive linkage with embeddedness, while those that do not present significant effects on knowledge sharing directly. Moreover, both embeddedness and knowledge sharing demonstrate significant partial mediating impact on green innovation in the sustainable supply chain; knowledge sharing especially plays a key role in achieving green innovation. This study finds that firm size as a control variable presents a positive effect on green innovation. Finally, conclusions and practical implications are given.

The New Achievement of Social Comparison Theory in Foreign Countries and the Inspiration——Dicussing about the impact on Research of Equity Theory
Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, 2008Co-Authors: Liu Deming, Long Li-rongAbstract:The social comparison Theory has recently made some new achievements in such fields as comparison frequency,individual evaluation and social comparison in organization.The achievements make up a deficiency to some extent in Equity Theory which neglected two aspects of individual character and selection of comparison object.Based on introduction of new achievements of social comparison Theory this paper analyzes its referential and instructive contributions to the Equity Theory.

Effect of Pay Strategy on Employees' Pay Satisfaction: Testing and Modifying the Equity Theory
2007 International Conference on Management Science and Engineering, 2007Co-Authors: Zhou Hao, Long Li-rongAbstract:Although pay strategy is an important aspect in organizational strategic management, its effect on employees' pay satisfaction is unclear yet. In This paper, the effect of pay strategy on employees' pay satisfaction was examined by a simulative experiment, which was based on the Adams' Equity Theory. 122 MBA students participated in the study, and a single-factor completely randomized design was employed. The results indicated that pay strategy has significant effect on employees' pay satisfaction: market lead strategy resulted in positive reaction on pay satisfaction, but significantly only when participants' pay was much better than referents; pay lag strategy resulted in dramatic negative reaction on pay satisfaction. The conclusion is that employees were more sensitive for market lag strategy than market lead strategy, and Equity Theory was unsuitable for the situations of market lead strategy. Based on the results, the theoretical contribution and practical implication of this study were discussed finally.

Balancing self/collective-interest: Equity Theory for prosocial consumption
European Journal of Marketing, 2018Co-Authors: Spencer M. Ross, Sommer KapitanAbstract:Purpose This work aims to use Equity Theory to explore how consumers assess prosocial actions as part of a mental portfolio of purchases and behaviors in a broader marketplace, seeking balance in market exchanges. Conceptualizing marketing exchange as both an exchange of perceived value and a balance between self- and collective-interest allows for segmentation by consumer sensitivity to Equity and sheds light on why prosocial consumption might occur. Design/methodology/approach Two studies validate and segment consumers via their Equity sensitivity. Between-subject designs with samples of consumers and marketing managers validate an Equity sensitivity index that segments how people balance self- and collective-interests in marketplace exchange and predicts prosocial consumption choices. Findings The results indicate that Entitled decision makers are more willing to exchange collective-interest for self-interest and emphasize choices that maximize lower prices for consumers or greater profits for firms in lieu of prosocial outcomes. Benevolent decision makers, however, are more willing to exchange self-interest for collective-interest and support prosocial outcomes. Originality/value This work moves beyond research that focuses on attitudes, values and situational factors, instead using Equity Theory to uncover broader marketplace motivations for prosocial consumption. The research reveals that a motivating force behind prosocial consumption is how much consumers perceive they have given to, and gotten, from, the marketplace. Segmenting the market according to how consumers balance gains and losses provides an alternate approach to studying prosocial consumption, as well as a practical approach to developing targeted marketing strategies.
