The practice- and movement-based theory of SSE promotes a systemic change, social transformation toward an environmentally and socially just future through resisting and building alternatives to the prevailing economic system, the market economy. The research gap which has been identify during literature review reveals that, from a radical ecological perspective the SSE practices have been poorly explored. To fill this research gap, based on the interdisciplinary approach of ecologic economics, I critically review ‘How the ecological aspects can theoretically and practically be included in the SSE?’ – which is the research question of the research. The conceptual framework of the research is based on the radical sustainability approach following the pre-analytical vision of ecological economics which builds on the strong hierarchy between the economic, social and natural domain. The implications of the radical sustainability on SSE initiatives was explored through the operation of the Cargonomia collective, in Hungary, Budapest during an action research. Action research allows to explore social phenomena through democratic knowledge creation, participation and intervention into lives of communities, organizations or individuals. During the presented action research, five members of the Cargonomia collective engaged themselves between 2016 and 2018 to deepen understanding about the operation of the organization while improve its performance and conceptualize the lived experience through theoretical-analytical concepts which contributes to scientific knowledge creation. The empirical results of the action research reveal how ecological aspects can be included in the SSE theoretically and practically, which are the following: 1. Respecting certain environmental principles SSE initiatives can follow certain environmental principles to comply with the radical sustainability approach. Such environmental aspects which can be applied by SSE initiatives are related to reducing energy and resource consumption, downsizing material consumption, usage of viable technologies, localization and the personal behaviour of the members. 2. Dealing with contradictions The empirical research revealed that an alternative initiative committed to radical sustainability faces many contradictions in addition to the potential achievements. Both achievements and failures can contribute to learn and enhance sustainability if they reflected upon. The strategies of the Cargonomia collective (exploring viable alternatives, accepting compromises and rejecting activities) can serve as guides for further exploring and implementing coping strategies. The ability to critically reflect on analytical-conceptual issues (such as on the complex question of sustainability) through daily activities of an organization can be supported by action research methodology as presented through the empirical case. Nevertheless, the empirical results reveal that sustainability is not an achievement at a point in time, but rather a journey over time which requires continuous negotiation, learning, reflecting, evaluating and adapting 3. Applying an organizational structure which allows to prioritize environmental and social values over financial gains The prioritization of environmental principles becomes possible through the organizational structure of alternative organizations. The empirical research highlighted three of the aspects of the organizational structure which enables SSE initiatives to follow the radical approach to sustainability, which are (i) democratic governance accompanied by critical-self-reflective discussion and debates, (ii) staying small and (iii) applying a plural economic model which enables to create a balance between different resources building on reciprocal relations, redistribution, market exchange and the combination of these. 4. Redefining the meaning of work The empirical results demonstrated the potential of SSE initiatives to redefine the meaning of work. Work in the empirical case is not primarily marked by monetary income, but by the value which is created for the local community, by joy and by meaningful activities. The diversity of provisioning, reciprocal relations which describe the participation in SSE initiatives, can be conceptualized as the decommodification of work. The implications of decommodifying work in relation to sustainability is that, it can shape social imaginaries and decouple well-being from material consumption.}, year = {2022} } @article{MTMT:32595781, title = {A társas tanulás eredményei a fenntartható fogyasztást előmozdító budapesti gyakorlatközösségekben}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32595781}, author = {Kasza-Kelemen, Kata and Neulinger, Ágnes and Kiss, Gabriella and Veress, Tamás and Lazányi, Orsolya}, doi = {10.14267/VEZTUD.2022.01.01}, journal-iso = {VEZETÉSTUDOMÁNY}, journal = {VEZETÉSTUDOMÁNY}, volume = {53}, unique-id = {32595781}, issn = {0133-0179}, year = {2022}, pages = {2-14}, orcid-numbers = {Neulinger, Ágnes/0000-0001-6493-2761; Kiss, Gabriella/0000-0002-5817-9037} } @{MTMT:32515753, title = {Communities in Sustainability Transition - Impacting Individual Lifestyles}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32515753}, author = {Kiss, Gabriella and Veress, Tamás and Neulinger, Ágnes and Kasza-Kelemen, Kata and Lazányi, Orsolya}, booktitle = {Sociological Knowledges for Alternative Futures}, unique-id = {32515753}, year = {2021}, pages = {1254}, orcid-numbers = {Kiss, Gabriella/0000-0002-5817-9037; Neulinger, Ágnes/0000-0001-6493-2761} } @{MTMT:32218902, title = {Részvételi kutatás a fogyasztói magatartás megértésére és a fenntartható életmód felé való elmozdulás elősegítésére. elméleti áttekintés}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32218902}, author = {Neulinger, Ágnes and Kiss, Gabriella and Veress, Tamás and Lazányi, Orsolya}, booktitle = {“Post-traumatic marketing: virtuality and reality” – Proceedings of the EMOK 2021 International Conference}, unique-id = {32218902}, year = {2021}, pages = {553}, orcid-numbers = {Neulinger, Ágnes/0000-0001-6493-2761; Kiss, Gabriella/0000-0002-5817-9037} } @misc{MTMT:32164592, title = {The role of civil society organizations in transition toward sustainable consumption in the age of climate crisis}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32164592}, author = {Neulinger, Ágnes and Kiss, Gabriella and Veress, Tamás and Kasza-Kelemen, Kata and Lazányi, Orsolya}, unique-id = {32164592}, year = {2021}, orcid-numbers = {Neulinger, Ágnes/0000-0001-6493-2761; Kiss, Gabriella/0000-0002-5817-9037} } @article{MTMT:31906412, title = {"HASONLÓ ÉRTÉKRENDŰ EMBEREK VAGYUNK."

The current study aims to deepen our understanding of the personal experience of participants in AFNs in Hungary by revealing their motivation for participation. This paper presents empirical research carried out among members of different AFNs located in Hungary. Based on the analysis of qualitative interviews, the main motivational factors are identified by the different types of AFNs. Two types of motivational factors can be classified: individual and community-based factors. The individual factors range from security-based factors to self-realization-related factors, in line with the classical model of Maslow’s theory of needs (1943). The community-based motivational factors range from motivations directly related to the community around food to abstract ideas related to the food system.}, keywords = {Alternative food networks (AFN)}, year = {2020}, eissn = {2659-3351}, pages = {169-187}, orcid-numbers = {Neulinger, Ágnes/0000-0001-6493-2761} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:31670722, title = {The role of communities in sustainable consumption and well-being: literature review}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31670722}, author = {Veress, Tamás and Lazányi, Orsolya and Kiss, Gabriella and Kasza-Kelemen, Kata and Neulinger, Ágnes}, booktitle = {EMAC 2020 Regional Conference : 11th EMAC Regional Conference on Challenging the Status Quo in Marketing Research}, unique-id = {31670722}, year = {2020}, pages = {307-316}, orcid-numbers = {Kiss, Gabriella/0000-0002-5817-9037; Neulinger, Ágnes/0000-0001-6493-2761} } @inproceedings{MTMT:31605641, title = {Társas tanulás a fenntartható gyakorlatközösségekben}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31605641}, author = {Kasza-Kelemen, Kata and Neulinger, Ágnes and Kiss, Gabriella and Lazányi, Orsolya and Veress, Tamás and Csibor, Anna Zsófia}, booktitle = {Marketing a digitalizáció korában}, unique-id = {31605641}, year = {2020}, pages = {127-135}, orcid-numbers = {Neulinger, Ágnes/0000-0001-6493-2761; Kiss, Gabriella/0000-0002-5817-9037} } @article{MTMT:31599499, title = {Fogyasztói jóllét a hazai alternatív élelmiszerellátási hálózatokban}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31599499}, author = {Neulinger, Ágnes and Bársony, Fanni and Gjorevska, Natasha and Lazányi, Orsolya and Pataki, György and Takács, Sándor and Török, Anna}, doi = {10.15170/MM.2020.54.KSZ.III.06}, journal-iso = {MARKETING ÉS MENEDZSMENT}, journal = {MARKETING ÉS MENEDZSMENT}, volume = {54}, unique-id = {31599499}, issn = {1219-0349}, year = {2020}, eissn = {2786-3395}, pages = {55-64}, orcid-numbers = {Neulinger, Ágnes/0000-0001-6493-2761; Takács, Sándor/0000-0003-3417-7907} }
