Abstract

Background: Today, Social Innovation is an important and vital issue in societies (3). Social Innovation is more effective, efficient and sustainable than previous strategies and creates value and benefit for the whole society instead of individuals. In fact, Social Innovation refers to strategies, strategies or concepts that address the problems and needs of society in a more appropriate way than previous strategies and methods (8). On the other hand, global statistics for estimating innovation and innovation growth remind us of the existence of a serious gap among Iranian organizations to develop the possibility of innovation and emphasize the lack of a serious mechanism among Iranian organizations for innovation as a dynamic and continuous power (9). Mental health is another important category and one of the most important aspects of public health that plays a decisive role in the individual and social life of individuals. Mental health, according to the definition of the World Health Organization, not only indicates the absence of mental disorders, but also provides favorable conditions for individuals to be able to realize their talents and abilities; Adapted to the usual stresses of life; Work productively and take beneficial actions for the community (10). In general, explaining Social Innovation can enhance the awareness and knowledge of organizational factors in its realization by deepening the understanding of the importance of Social Innovation. On the other hand, due to the importance of mental health, unfortunately, little research has been done on this important component, and on the other hand, no research has been done on the impact of Social Innovation on citizens' mental health. So the question is, what is the pattern of Social Innovation and its impact on Consumer Behavior and mental health? Methods: The present study is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of data collection method, it is an exploratory type based on structural equation modeling. This research consisted of two parts: qualitative and quantitative. Interview tools and Delphi technique were used to collect data in the qualitative section. The team participating in the qualitative part of the research consisted of academic experts and managers of road and urban planning departments of Golestan province to reach a consensus of opinions. By snowball sampling method based on managerial expertise, 50 experts were identified and selected to participate in research and conduct semi-structured interviews, considering their doctoral education and at least ten years of experience. In the quantitative part of the study, the citizens of Golestan province were selected as the statistical population and due to the uncertain and large size of the population using the Cochran's formula, 384 people were estimated as the statistical sample and sampling at this stage was done by cluster random sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire for Social Innovation variable, Lerman (2006) standard questionnaire for Consumer Behavior and general health questionnaire (GHO) for mental health. Results: The Delphi method was performed in three stages. In the first stage, using the interview tool, the content analysis approach by fuzzy Delphi method, a preliminary list of concepts was prepared and approved by experts (33 concepts were examined) and then with the opinion of the expert team and the existing theoretical foundations of the approved concepts. It was categorized into more general components and was surveyed by experts for the second and third stages (the concepts were divided into 6 components). Finally, the difference between the average views of experts in the second and third stages of fuzzy Delphi is given. In the next step, confirmatory factor analysis method was used to validate the approved components and concepts. In the last step, the final model was presented using a quantitative method of path analysis. It was also found that the model for measuring Social Innovation has a good fit. Based on this, it is determined that the selected indicators have the necessary proportionality with the operating basis of the research design. Finally, the standardized path coefficients and the significance of the coefficients showed that Social Innovation has a direct and significant effect on Consumer Behavior and mental health (p<0. 001, t = 47. 571, β = 0. 821). Conclusion: As the results showed, Social Innovation has a direct and significant effect on Consumer Behavior and Social Innovation can explain 96% of Consumer Behavior. Regarding the effect of Social Innovation on Consumer Behavior, no similar research has been done, which is considered as an innovation of this research. Batquisin (2009) stated that the social system shapes Social Innovation and in contrast, Social Innovation affects the social system. In his opinion, society, non-governmental organizations, governmental and public institutions and private companies are among the most important actors in Social Innovation (13). On the other hand, the results showed that Social Innovation has a direct impact on consumer mental health. A review of research conducted in and outside the country did not find research that examined the impact of Social Innovation on mental health. However, as researchers have pointed out, Social Innovation is a new mechanism that increases the well-being of those who adopt it compared to the status quo (18) on the other hand, it is one of the things that provides well-being. It is a health issue and health includes three dimensions of physical health, mental health and social health (10). Therefore, the effect of Social Innovation on mental health in the present study seems logical. According to the research results, it is suggested that in studies, researches, decisions, actions, etc. in the field of Social Innovation, the foundations of values and social culture as a fixed and sustainable strategy should always be seriously considered, as well as the principle of popular innovation.
