Figure 1
The conceptual path diagram starts with the text “Belief towards Perceived Responsibility” and “Affect towards Perceived Responsibility” arranged in a vertical series on the far left, with individual rightward arrows pointing to a rectangle positioned directly on the right. The rectangle is labeled “Attitude Toward Social Sustainability”. From this rectangle, a diagonal arrow runs toward the central rectangle labeled “Intention to use Digital Platforms for Social Sustainability”, labeling “H 1”. Below the attitude construct, another rectangle labeled “Social Norms” connects with a horizontal arrow pointing to the same central rectangle, labeling “H 2”. Further below, a rectangle labeled “Perceived Ease-of-Use” connects with a diagonal arrow pointing upward to the central rectangle, labeling “H 3”. To the right of the central construct, a horizontal arrow runs from “Intention to use Digital Platforms for Social Sustainability” to the rectangle labeled “Social Sustainability Behaviour: Democratic Participation and Empowerment plus Social Equity and Justice”, labeling “H 4”. Above this arrow, a rectangle labeled “Effort Fairness of the Digital Platform” connects with a vertical arrow pointing downward to the path between the central construct and the social sustainability behaviour construct, labeling “H 5”.Behavioural model for social sustainability.
