The textile and apparel (T&A) industry, which is resource-intensive, faces challenges in transitioning toward an ecologically friendly market. The shift toward sustainability is causing significant changes in consumer lifestyles and cultural practices, resulting in increased uncertainty in pro-environmental behaviors. This study adapts the environmentally responsible behavior (ERB) model to investigate how consumers’ subjective and objective domain-specific environmental knowledge (SUEK and OBEK) and personality traits—including personal environmental responsibility (PER), eco-centric and anthropocentric environmental beliefs (EEBs and AEBs), and internal and external environmental loci of control (IN-ELOC and EX-ELOC)—influence sustainable consumption intention (SCI) for T&A products. The data from 212 completed online survey questionnaires were analyzed using a two-stage partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The findings reveal that participants’ SUEK related to the T&A industry, and their PER and EEBs positively influence their SCI for T&A products. This research contributes to the literature on consumer SCI in the T&A industry and adds value to the existing ERB model, providing insights for brands, retailers, educators, policymakers, and stakeholders striving for a more sustainable industry.}, number={2}, journal={SUSTAINABILITY}, author={Zeng, Lian and Moore, Marguerite and Rothenberg, Lori}, year={2024}, month={Jan} } @article{hood_thoney-barletta_rothenberg_2023, title={Understanding the role of Instagram in young adult consumers' purchase and post-purchase evaluation behaviors}, volume={8}, ISSN={["1758-7433"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1108/JFMM-07-2022-0146}, DOI={10.1108/JFMM-07-2022-0146}, abstractNote={PurposeThis study explored the role that Instagram, a prominent social media platform, plays in the consumer decision-making process of young adults (age 18–27 years) in the United States as they shop online for apparel and interact with the digital profiles of apparel brands. Specifically, this study compared consumers' purchase and post-purchase evaluation behaviors on Instagram between Millennials and Generation Z, and investigated the role of consumers' trust of Instagram on these behaviors.Design/methodology/approachA survey instrument was developed to explore critical variables, including consumers' purchase and post-purchase evaluation behaviors on Instagram, consumers' trust of Instagram, and demographic factors, adapting previous works from Ko (2018), Djafarova and Rushworth (2017), and Herrando et al. (2019). Survey responses were collected via the Qualtrics participant panel service (N = 226), then coded and analyzed using JMP Pro (Version 14.2).FindingsResults indicated that statistically significant mean differences were present among several key variables, including between Millennial and Generation Z post-purchase behaviors on Instagram, willingness to share feedback about a brand experience on Instagram, and trust of content on Instagram. Additionally, it was determined that purchase and post-purchase behaviors on Instagram are significantly different depending on whether or not a consumer trusts Instagram and the content therein.Originality/valueWhile online consumer behaviors have been previously studied, the impact of young adults' Instagram usage on their purchase and post-purchase evaluation behaviors in the apparel sector had not been thoroughly examined. The findings from this study provide meaningful insights on the purchase and post-purchase behaviors on Instagram of young adult consumers from different generational cohorts. They demonstrate that developing trust with young adults is critical to the success of brands trying to reach this demographic on Instagram.}, journal={JOURNAL OF FASHION MARKETING AND MANAGEMENT}, author={Hood, Sara Lewis and Thoney-Barletta, Kristin Anne and Rothenberg, Lori}, year={2023}, month={Aug} } @article{jin_kim_moore_rothenberg_2021, title={Consumer store experience through virtual reality: its effect on emotional states and perceived store attractiveness}, volume={8}, ISSN={["2198-0802"]}, DOI={10.1186/s40691-021-00256-7}, abstractNote={AbstractBased on the stimuli-organism-response model, this study aims to examine whether consumers’ store experience through virtual reality (VR), compared to website experience, can attract them enough to perceive the online store as appealing. Two types of stimuli were developed for the experiments: consumers’ VR store experience (106 data) (i.e., having respondents experience 360-degree-based VR store videos recorded at a fashion retailer) and store website experience (107 data) (i.e., having respondents experience the same store’s website). The results revealed that relative to an ordinary store website, consumers’ VR store experience evoked positive emotions and increased perceived store attractiveness. This study also discovered that store familiarity does not moderate the relationship between the two store experience types and evoked emotions, implying that VR technology is effective regardless of consumers’ familiarity with a store. Text analytics were also utilized, providing additional insights about their VR store experiences. This study suggests an effective method for online retailers to emulate an attractive store environment and entice consumers through VR, regardless of the retailers’ fame.

Although denim fabric is widely consumed and very popular, one drawback to denim is that the finishing and manufacturing processes are energy and water intensive and can cause environmental hazards as well as generation of pollution through water waste, particularly at the finishing stage. Textile ink-jet printing has the potential to replicate some of the coloration and finishing techniques of traditional denim fabric without negative environmental impacts. A two-phase research project was conducted. In Phase I (P1), an optimal standard production workflow for digital denim reproduction (including color and finishing effects) was established, and six different denim samples were reproduced based on the workflow. In Phase II, an expert visual assessment protocol was developed to evaluate the acceptance of the replicated digital denim.

Sourcing risk has primarily focused on short-term mitigation. This paper aims to offer an approach that uses newsfeed data to assess regional supply base risk in LCC’s for the apparel sector, which managers can use to plan for future risk on a long-term planning horizon.Design/methodology/approachThis paper demonstrates that the bulk of supplier risk assessments focus on short-term responses to disruptions in developed countries, revealing a gap in assessments of long-term risks for supply base expansion in LCCs. This paper develops an approach for predicting and planning for long-term supply base risk in LCC’s to address this shortfall. A machine-based learning algorithm is developed that uses the analysis of competing hypotheses heuristic to convert data from multiple news feeds into numerical risk scores and visual maps of supply chain risk. This paper demonstrates the approach by converting large amounts of unstructured data into two measures, risk impact and risk probability, leading to visualization of country-level supply base risks for a global apparel company.FindingsThis paper produced probability and impact scores for 23 distinct supply base risks across 10 countries in the apparel sector. The results suggest that the most significant long-term risks of supply disruption for apparel in LCC’s are human resource regulatory risks, workplace issues, inflation costs, safety violations and social welfare violations. The results suggest that apparel brands seeking suppliers in the regions of Cambodia, India, Bangladesh, Brazil and Vietnam should be aware of the significant risks in these regions that may require mitigative action.Originality/valueThis approach establishes a novel approach for objectively projecting future global sourcing risk, and yields visually mapped outcomes that can be applied in forecasting and planning for future risks when considering sourcing locations in LCC’s.}, number={6}, journal={SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT-AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL}, author={Handfield, Robert and Sun, Hang and Rothenberg, Lori}, year={2020}, month={Aug}, pages={803–821} } @article{yu_rothenberg_moore_2021, title={Exploring young consumer's decision-making for luxury co-branding combinations}, volume={49}, ISSN={["1758-6690"]}, DOI={10.1108/IJRDM-12-2019-0399}, abstractNote={PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify the realistic trade-offs young consumers make when evaluating luxury co-branding combinations based on signalling theory.Design/methodology/approachConjoint analysis was employed to evaluate the relative impact of four major attributes (i.e. brand combinations, retail channels, uniqueness and price) on consumer desirability for luxury co-branding combinations. The data were analysed using desirability indices.FindingsBrand combinations, uniqueness and price significantly impact consumer desirability of luxury co-branding combinations. The luxury brand and sportswear combination results in the highest desirability when price is more similar to the sportswear constituent and participants perceive that the collaboration as exclusive.Practical implicationsThe results suggest that luxury brands need to consider the partnering brand's retail format primarily for co-branding strategy. Luxury brand collaborations with sportswear and premium priced streetwear brands are more likely to result in higher desirability among consumers compared to collaborations with fast fashion and mass-market brands. Additionally, uniqueness may not be effective as a point of differentiation in cases where luxury brands cannot guarantee a single yearly collaboration.Originality/valueThe decision to use existing brands for the fictitious combinations developed more sensible scenarios for respondents.

Numerous fashion brands are responding to this demand for transparency by sharing information on the cost-breakdown of products and manufacturing processes. Research shows that transparency can become a vital tool for product, process, and business model innovation. Nonetheless, little is known about the role of transparency and how it affects consumers’ perceptions of a brand in a fashion context. By applying the signaling theory, the purpose of this study is to investigate how consumers react to fashion brands that provide price or production transparency. The study further examines whether the extent of information disclosure and perceived fairness of the information also play a role. An experiment of nine scenarios using a fictitious fashion brand was developed, and data were collected from 349 American consumers through Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk). The findings suggest that both price transparency and production transparency positively affect the overall brand equity and consumers’ purchase intentions as long as the information is perceived to be fair regardless of the extent. This study extends our current understanding of the role of transparency as an extrinsic signal and also suggests that brand transparency may be another key dimension of brand equity.}, journal={Sustainability}, author={Kim, Naeun and Kim, Gwia and Rothenberg, Lori}, year={2020}, month={Aug} } @article{lee_rothenberg_xu_2020, title={Young luxury fashion consumers' preferences in multi-channel environment}, volume={48}, ISSN={["1758-6690"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1108/IJRDM-11-2018-0253}, DOI={10.1108/IJRDM-11-2018-0253}, abstractNote={PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore and examine the relative impact of product and channel attributes on luxury product shopping in the multi-channel environment.Design/methodology/approachA D-optimal discrete choice conjoint design was used.

Findings The findings show that total annual revenue is significantly related to the reshoring driver of skilled workforce. No significant relationships are present between reshoring drivers and the region of the world reshored from not the region of the USA from which a company operates. There is a significant relationship between market segment and the reshoring driver of manufacturing process.

Findings This study identifies change readiness measures which are specific for quality implementations and establishes two constructs, namely, change commitment and change efficacy. The results indicate that as good Employee Relations increase, the level of organizational change commitment increases. If employees are engaged and empowered to provide excellent quality, then it is more likely that they will be committed to change due to implementing future quality initiatives.

Consumers were most willing to purchase T-shirts that are eco-friendly, Made In America, made from wrinkle-free technology and cotton jersey knit fabric, and have a price of $15. Although consumers were most willing to pay $15, some were still willing to pay $25 or even $35 for the same eco-friendly T-shirt. Practical implications Consumers in the current study were more willing to purchase eco-friendly as opposed to organic apparel.

In addition, the inclusion of price as an attribute, rather than as a separate independent question, provides a more realistic view of young consumers’ decision making. }, number={4}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RETAIL & DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT}, publisher={Emerald}, author={Rothenberg, Lori and Matthews, Delisia}, year={2017}, pages={404–418} } @misc{rezaei_thoney-barletta_joines_rothenberg_2017, title={Consumer textile recycling behavior}, author={Rezaei, S. and Thoney-Barletta, K. and Joines, J. and Rothenberg, L.}, year={2017}, month={Nov} } @article{adikorley_rothenberg_guillory_2017, title={Lean Six Sigma applications in the textile industry: a case study}, volume={8}, ISSN={["2040-4174"]}, DOI={10.1108/ijlss-03-2016-0014}, abstractNote={ Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore Lean Six Sigma (LSS) project and program success in the textile and apparel industry. This paper presents depictions of LSS implementations and the resulting economic impact for a textile company. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative approach consisting of a single descriptive case study and project document reviews was used. This method provided an in-depth view into what LSS means for one medium-sized global textile company and how it has proven important to the company’s success. Findings Three successful projects, two on changeover time reduction and one on metal contamination, were completed. Additional findings from this study suggest that strategic partnerships with other high-performing companies and storytelling are two critical success factors. Also, it is critical for management to convey a clear vision for LSS that can be operationalized within a company for successful deployment of LSS textile projects. Research limitations/implications The findings from this case study cannot be generalized. Originality/value The literature on LSS in small- and medium-sized businesses is limited. The literature on the use of LSS in the textile and apparel industry is even more limited. This paper shows various processes within the textile complex where LSS has been deployed successfully, yielding economic impacts. By using qualitative methods, the value of strategic partnerships, storytelling and a vision was seen. }, number={2}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LEAN SIX SIGMA}, publisher={Emerald}, author={Adikorley, Ruth Dede and Rothenberg, Lori and Guillory, Aaron}, year={2017}, pages={210–224} } @inproceedings{hanninen_rothenberg_2017, title={Multi-stage stratified cluster analysis of public transit fare compliance}, booktitle={Proceedings of the Joint Statistical Meetings}, author={Hanninen, B. and Rothenberg, L.}, year={2017}, month={Aug} } @misc{gibson_rothenberg_2017, title={Supply chain based evaluation of the Higg Index 2.0 and similar sustainability assessment tools}, author={Gibson, C. and Rothenberg, L.}, year={2017}, month={Mar} } @inproceedings{adikorley_thoney-barletta_joines_rothenberg_2017, title={Using non-parametric tests to analyze the landed cost competitiveness of producing apparel in different countries}, booktitle={Proceedings of the Joint Statistical Meetings}, author={Adikorley, R. and Thoney-Barletta, K.A. and Joines, J. and Rothenberg, L.}, year={2017}, month={Aug} } @inproceedings{raut_moore_rothenberg_devine_leonas_2016, place={Vancouver, Canada}, title={Green Apparel Consumption: An Empirical Examination of Behavior Versus Attitudes}, DOI={10.31274/itaa_proceedings-180814-1374}, abstractNote={The research reports empirical findings that contrast apparel consumers who behave in pro-environment purchasing behavior with those who do behave in pro-environmental purchasing behavior, in an effort to better understand the attitude-behavior gap commonly recognized among consumer researchers in the ethical consumption research stream.

This research examines the implementation process of the lean methodology designed to drive continuous improvement in three rural hospitals, focusing on healthcare professionals involved in the effort as lean participants. Quantitative and qualitative data are collected from intervention and control groups, and factor analysis is used to assess the learning and behavioral changes of hospital frontline professionals. As a result, insights and recommendations for facilitating lean thinking and behaviors during the first years of lean program implementation are provided.}, number={1}, journal={ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT JOURNAL}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Mazur, Lukasz and McCreery, John and Rothenberg, Lori}, year={2012}, month={Mar}, pages={11–22} } @inproceedings{mccreery_mazur_rothenberg_2011, title={Exploring the Power of Social Networks and Leadership Styles During Lean Program Implementation in Hospitals}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84900337277&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, booktitle={Proceedings of the Industrial Engineering Research Conference}, author={McCreery, J. and Mazur, L. and Rothenberg, L.}, year={2011}, month={May} } @inproceedings{mazur_rothenberg_mccreery_2011, title={Measuring and Understanding Change Recipients’ Buy-In During Lean Transformation Program}, booktitle={Proceedings of the Industrial Engineering Research Conference}, author={Mazur, L. and Rothenberg, L. and McCreery, J.}, year={2011}, month={May} } @inproceedings{mazur_rothenberg_mccreery_2011, title={Measuring and understanding change recipients' buy-in during lean program implementation efforts}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84900306787&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, booktitle={61st Annual IIE Conference and Expo Proceedings}, author={Mazur, L.M. and Rothenberg, L. and McCreery, J.K.}, year={2011} } @misc{mazur_rothenberg_mccreery_2010, title={Measuring organizational change progress in hospitals: development of evaluation framework}, author={Mazur, L. and Rothenberg, L. and McCreery, J.}, year={2010}, month={Oct} } @inproceedings{mazur_rothenberg_mccreery_2010, title={Research and Evaluation of Change Management Initiatives in Rural Hospitals}, booktitle={Proceedings of the Industrial Engineering Research Conference}, author={Mazur, L. and Rothenberg, L. and McCreery, J.}, year={2010}, month={Jun} } @inproceedings{mazur_mccreery_rothenberg_2010, title={Research and evaluation of engineering change management initiative in rural hospitals,Investigacion y evaluacion de una iniciativa de engineering change management en hospitales rurales}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84901044712&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, booktitle={IIE Annual Conference and Expo 2010 Proceedings}, author={Mazur, L.M. and McCreery, J.K. and Rothenberg, L.}, year={2010} } @misc{mazur_mccreery_rothenberg_2010, title={Understanding the collaborative change process for operations improvement in rural hospitals}, author={Mazur, L. and McCreery, J. and Rothenberg, L.}, year={2010}, month={May} } @inproceedings{moore_rothenberg_gibson_2009, place={New Orleans, LA}, title={Building Marketing Awareness for Cotton among Future Retail Industry Professionals}, booktitle={Proceedings of the Academy of Marketing Science/American Collegiate Research Association Joint Conference, 12}, author={Moore, M. and Rothenberg, L. and Gibson, F.}, year={2009}, month={Sep} } @misc{rothenberg_2008, title={Insuring you’re hearing your customers correctly}, author={Rothenberg, L.}, year={2008}, month={Jan} } @misc{rothenberg_hoeve_2007, title={Text mining examinees’ written comments on exams in a testing program}, author={Rothenberg, L. and Hoeve, K.}, year={2007}, month={Oct} } @inproceedings{rothenberg_langenfield_1999, title={A comparison of four estimates for confirmatory factor analysis with nonnormal Likert scaled variables}, booktitle={ASA Proceedings of the 158th Annual Joint Statistical Meetings}, author={Rothenberg, L. and Langenfield, T.}, year={1999} } @misc{rothenberg_gullen_1999, title={A comparison of maximum likelihood and weighted least squares using bootstrapping}, author={Rothenberg, L.F. and Gullen, J.}, year={1999}, month={Aug} } @misc{oglan_rothenberg_1999, title={An evaluation of the Ontario Early Literacy Project: Year one}, author={Oglan, G. and Rothenberg, L.}, year={1999}, month={Apr} } @article{oglan_rothenberg_1999, title={Computers: Literacy tool or marketing ploy?}, volume={15}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Computing in Teacher Education}, author={Oglan, G. and Rothenberg, L.}, year={1999}, pages={7–10} } @article{rothenberg_oglan_1999, title={Get a grip!
