This mixed method study aims to compare the effect of EC and RQ on customer attitude in Islamic context in three stages. In first and second stages, The Islamic environment consciousness (IEC) and Islamic Relationship Quality (IRQ) were operantionalized based on the grounded theory. In third stage, the impact of IEC and IRQ on consumer attitude were examined using a quasi-experimental design. The findings from the first two stages indicated that IRQ comprised three components and twelve constituent subcomponents and that IEC included two components with seven constituent subcomponents. In the third phase of the study, the conjoint analysis technique was initially employed to select three scenarios from nine possible scenarios. Further, statistical analyses of the research data revealed significant effects of IEC and IRQ on consumer attitude: significantly more positive consumer attitudes were found in firms with higher IEC and higher IRQ compared to firms with lower or no IEC and IRQ. It was also found that the two public relation tools were not significantly different from the consumer perspective. The study is significant because it operationalized IEC and IRQ and offers implications for academicians and managers who intend to investigate their business relationship performance in terms of such Islamic context-specific constructs. Moreover, the innovative use of scenarios in measuring the consumers’ attitudes offers upstream research as an alternative to downstream studies of EC which render redundant information about environmental behavior of companies.

The main objective of this article is calibration of an augmented endogenous growth model for Iranian economy. For this purpose, clean technology diffusion assumption is added to augmenting the endogenous growth model to open economy. Optimal control theory used to analytically solving the model and the necessary conditions to place the economy on the sustainable growth path is derived. On this basis, the development sustainability condition is pollution does not increase along with economic growth. In order to empirically test of the model, it has been calibrated with using data and parameter values corresponding to the Iranian economy. The effects of relative risk aversion coefficient, environmental consciousness preferences of producers, environmental consciousness preferences of consumers and clean technology diffusion has been investigated on the growth rate of key variables on the steady state. The results show that the relationship between economic growth and pollution on the steady state growth, and hence sustainable development status, can vary depending on the coefficient of relative risk aversion. So that for small values ​​of relative risk aversion coefficient, along with economic growth the pollution increase and for larger values ​​of that parameter, pollution will decrease along with economic growth. The sensitivity analysis shows that the environmental consciousness preferences of producers and environmental consciousness preferences of consumers have the most positive impact on the stock of pollution. Moreover, the parameter of clean technology diffusion has a significant impact on emissions of pollutants and pollution intensity in Iranian economy. This result is important from the standpoint of policy and planning to achieve sustainable development.
