ABSTRACT Transitioning to a circular economy (CE) from the “take–make–dispose” system creates jobs and positions that must be occupied foster environmental protection waste minimization. However, research has yet investigate what motivates acceptance of these jobs. Consequently, this study explores factors affecting CE job address gap. With self‐determination theory as foundational model, explored impact intrinsic extrinsic motivators on acceptance. Four hundred sixty‐nine responses were analyzed using partial least‐squares structural equation model (PLS‐SEM). Analysis evidenced green values, self‐congruity, financial benefits positively influenced Social influence impacted attitude negatively but was insignificant toward Attitude also mediated effects other constructs The provides key industry actors decision‐makers with comprehensive policy recommendations, including public sensitization incentives guarantee promotion, adoption,

Introduction The transition to a circular economy is key pillar of European sustainable development. However, in the current context, shaped by multiple crises and geopolitical conflicts, efficiency resilience this are particular concern. policymakers national authorities must adapt their approaches mitigate risks posed external factors while ensuring progress towards sustainability goals. This study analyzes from 2010 2022, assessing economic environmental variables. Methods employs an econometric approach using panel data 27 EU Member States. A linear regression model with fixed effects applied alongside spectral analysis descriptive statistics examine relationships between private investment, gross value added, municipal waste recycling rates, recyclable material flows, greenhouse gas emissions. These methods allow for in-depth evaluation influencing transition. Results Findings indicate that investment integration materials significantly enhance economy. varies across States due regional disparities, inadequate infrastructure, inefficient management. High-emission countries face greater challenges achieving targets, demonstrating need tailored resilient policy measures. Discussion results highlight necessity public policies promote attractiveness sectors, reduce improve management infrastructure.
