In the present research, the process of vacationers' pro-environmental decision formation for environmentally responsible museums was examined. This research employed and broadened the value-belief-norm theory, using satisfaction with green product use, green trust, and frequency of past behavior for green product use as predictors. A structural equation modeling was utilized for modeling comparisons and hypothesis testing. A measurement model tested using the data gathered at museums was found to satisfactorily fit to the data. Newly integrated constructs significantly improved the prediction power of the theory. In addition, results of the structural equation modeling generally supported the proposed relationships. Moreover, a salient role of moral norm was identified. As expected, new environmental paradigm, awareness of consequences, ascribed responsibility, and moral norm played an important mediating role. A parsimonious model with greater prediction power than the original value-belief-norm theory was produced through modeling comparisons and the process of testing relationships among research variables. Our results offer a sufficient understanding of vacationers' pro-environmental intention for eco-friendly museums.
In this study we examined whether philanthropic corporate social responsibility (PCSR) has a positive influence on consumer attitudes and brand preference, and if this, in turn, positively affects customer citizenship behavior. In addition, we explored whether, when consumers perceive
that a company tries to solve social problems, they are more likely to have favorable attitudes toward the company, and proposed the moderating role of older adult employment in this relationship. The results indicated that PCSR was an important predictor of consumer attitudes and brand preference.
In addition, consumer attitudes had a positive effect on advocacy and tolerance, whereas brand preference positively affected all types of customer citizenship behavior. Last, we found a moderating role of older adult employment in the relationship between PCSR and consumer attitudes and between
PCSR and brand preference.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
