Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Megaproject social responsibility (MSR) positively impacts satisfaction with environmental compensation mechanisms (SECM). Stakeholder participation in environmental activities partially mediates this relationship, especially during project design and operation.
Area Of Science
- Environmental Management
- Project Management
- Sociology
Background
- Megaprojects face significant environmental and social challenges.
- Existing research on megaproject social responsibility (MSR) often overlooks international contexts and broader stakeholder influence on environmental compensation.
- A gap exists in understanding how MSR impacts satisfaction with environmental compensation mechanisms (SECM) in international settings.
Purpose Of The Study
- To examine how MSR across project life cycle stages influences SECM.
- To analyze the mediating role of stakeholder environmental activities participation (SEAP) in the MSR-SECM relationship.
- To provide insights for enhancing environmental compensation in international megaprojects.
Main Methods
- Grounded in life-cycle and stakeholder theories.
- Two-stage questionnaire survey (pilot n=204, main n=398) of large-scale projects with Chinese contractors in Thailand.
- Data analyzed using factor analysis, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression.
Main Results
- MSR significantly and positively affects host-country residents' SECM.
- Direct effects of MSR on SECM are strongest during the design and operational stages.
- SEAP partially mediates the relationship between MSR and SECM across all project stages.
Conclusions
- Provides transnational empirical evidence on MSR's role in improving SECM.
- Highlights the critical importance of project design and operation stages for MSR effectiveness.
- Emphasizes stakeholder engagement in environmental activities for sustainable development and community satisfaction.

The human body employs intricate mechanisms to counteract changes in blood pH, preventing conditions like acidosis (pH < 7.35) and alkalosis (pH > 7.45). These compensatory responses aim to restore normal arterial blood pH by engaging respiratory or renal systems, depending on the source of the imbalance.
Respiratory Compensation
This mechanism addresses metabolic-induced pH imbalances by adjusting breathing rates. Respiratory compensation begins within minutes of detecting a pH...
As formulated by John Thibaut and Harold Kelley, Social Exchange Theory explains human relationships as economic-like exchanges that maximize rewards and minimize costs. This theory suggests that individuals engage in relationships to gain benefits and reduce burdens, similar to economic transactions. It has been widely applied to various types of relationships, including romantic, professional, and social interactions.Rewards and Costs in RelationshipsRelationship rewards include emotional...
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

The halo effect is a cognitive bias in which an individual's overall impression influences judgments about their specific traits. This psychological phenomenon leads people to associate positive characteristics with those they perceive as generally good and negative characteristics with those they view as bad. This effect is particularly influential in social perception, professional evaluations, and decision-making processes.The Psychological Basis of the Halo EffectThe halo effect is rooted...
Human behavior is intricately shaped by social influences that arise from interactions with others in diverse contexts. These influences not only mold beliefs and attitudes but also drive the regulation of behaviors through both direct communication and observational learning. The study of these processes falls within the domain of social psychology, which seeks to understand how individuals are affected by and affect those around them.Mechanisms of Social InfluenceDirect social influence...
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...
