The current study addresses this problem by exploring the relationship between food waste awareness and food waste intentions moderated by socioeconomic status. An online survey collects information about food waste awareness, food waste behaviour and some demographics. Based on this information, a moderation analysis is done to explore the relationship between food waste awareness and food waste intentions moderated by socioeconomic status and a chi-square is performed to investigate the differences between various demographic groups clustered by gender, age, income, family structure, and subjective social status on food waste awareness. Results show significant differences in food waste awareness among various demographic groups. The moderation analysis indicates that food waste awareness negatively influences food waste behaviour and socioeconomic status does not moderate this relationship. The effects of chi-square present little differences between various demographic groups and are discussed and analysed in detailShow less

By using a vignette study, 159 female participants completed a survey and were allocated to one of three conditions (passive bystanders, active bystanders, and no bystanders). Afterwards, all participants indicated their agreement to statements representing the four fundamental needs of belonging, self-esteem, meaningful existence, and control, self-, perpetrator, and bystander blame, work stress, and acceptance of sexual harassment myths. The results indicate that all four fundamental needs decreased, and bystander blame increased in victims experiencing the situation with passive compared to active or no bystanders. The study reveals important theoretical insights in bystander research combined with sexual harassment at the workplace and offers practical implications to avoid the negative impact of passive bystander presence during victimization in organisations.Show less
