“…So, SN significantly impact the intention to purchase green products (Ko & Jin, 2016). The results are in line with previous research proving that SN significantly affect the willingness to buy green products (Hamilton & Terblanche‐Smit, 2018; Nam, Dong, & Lee, 2017; Pisitsankkhakarn & Vassanadumrongdee, 2020). Therefore, relevant policy‐makers should carefully consider the methods of promoting the circular economy and pay more attention to the influence of family, friends, and mainstream media on residents.…”

To realize sustainable development, China has vowed to build the circular economy for many years, but the level of development of this economy differs significantly in various regions of China. This study aims to examine the factors influencing residents' willingness to participate in the circular economy in Western China. We collected 791 online questionnaires from residents living in western Sichuan Province and Chongqing City. Based on the survey data, the Theory of Planned Behavior is adapted to construct a structural equation model. The empirical results indicate that four variables (i.e., Subjective Norm, Willingness to Sacrifice for the Environment, Perceived Economic Benefit, and Positive Anticipated Emotion) have significant effects on residents' willingness to participate in the circular economy. In addition, there is also evidence for Green Purchase Intention as a mediator for the relationship of Willingness to participate in circular economy with Subjective Norm, Willingness to Sacrifice for the Environment and Perceived Economic Benefit, and evidence for Perceived Behavior Control as a moderator of the relationship between Willingness to participate in circular economy and Positive Anticipated Emotion.

“…As an example of the potential outcomes of a quality assessment for the current SLR, had the second aforementioned quality assessment method been employed, the valuable studies by Hamilton and Terblanche-Smit (2018), which is focused on the green vehicle purchase context in Africa, and Asnawi et al (2019), investigating consumer boycott through the lens of religiosity, would have been excluded from this SLR-along with many others.…”

This study aimed to systematically review and categorize studies on consumer behavior based on theory of planned behavior (TPB), its core constructs, or extensions, and to provide directions for future research agenda. Scopus and the Web of Science were consulted for studies based on TPB, its parts, or extensions. The inclusion criteria were studies published in peer‐reviewed journals, in English, and within the past decade (i.e., between 2012 and 2021). Graphical methods were used to visually display research findings. For the purpose of literature clustering, MAXQDA 2020 software was employed. In total, 118 scientific, peer‐reviewed sources were included in the review. Two categories, five clusters, and seven subclusters emerged from the literature set. The results revealed a significant research tendency toward exploring consumer green behavior and consumer purchase intention of food products. The least‐explored research themes were focused on consumer intention toward and purchase behavior of clothing, green vehicles, and green personal care products. The review confirmed the growing prevalence of TPB in consumer behavior research aimed at exploring factors preceding behavior.

“…The TPB is described as an intention-based model linked to several beliefs concerning intended behaviour (Bhattacherjee 2000). This model (Ajzen 1991(Ajzen , 2011) is derived from the Theory of Reasoned Action (Fishbein & Ajzen 1975), which identifies three determinants of an intention (Ajzen 2011;Chen et al 2007;Hamilton & Terblanche-Smit 2018). Firstly, the attitude (ATT) or predisposition toward a behaviour, which refers to the overall evaluation of a product (Ajzen 1985), service or (in this case) app (Yang 2013).…”

“…The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) (Davis 1989) has been widely used to determine the acceptance of new technology (Mathieson 1991;Taylor & Todd 1995;Venkatesh 2000), including in South Africa (Averweg 2008), and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) (Ajzen 1985(Ajzen , 1991(Ajzen , 2011Ajzen & Fishbein 2005) has been widely used to investigate purchase intention (Ajzen 2011). Studies using TAM have focused on the adoption of computer technologies and services (Al-Gahtani, Hubona & Wang 2007;Taylor & Todd 1995;Yang 2013), while TPB has focused on both products (Chen 2007;Hamilton & Terblanche-Smit 2018;Tarkiainen & Sundqvist 2005) and services, including online services (Bhattacherjee 2000;Chen, Fan & Farn 2007;Giles et al 2004;Wu & Chen 2005), automated vehicles (Kaye et al 2020) and apps (Yang 2013). Both models have been described as 'empirically strong' (Mathieson 1991:187) with their use in various countries and being associated with various types of technology-based products and services.…”

“…The impact of technology and specifically apps suggests that the perceptions of this technology influence the intention to adopt technological developments, as seen in the TAM model (Davis 1989;Natarajan, Balasubramanian & Kasilingam 2017). The TPB model identifies attitudes, subjective norm (SN) and perceived behavioural control (PBC) as antecedents of intention (Hamilton & Terblanche-Smit 2018). This highlights the importance of intention as an individual is likely to act in accordance with their intentions (Liu et al 2012), and they impact a range of behaviours (Oliveira, Tomar & Tam 2020;Sheeran 2002), which could be impacted by demographic variables.…”

The intention of South Africans to engage in collaborative consumption: The case of Uber

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Orientation: The idea of collaborative consumption is developing among consumers, where underutilised or excess resources, skills and money are shared among peers for compensation. Collaborative consumption involves sharing, and as such, Uber, an app-based transport service enables those with spare vehicle capacity to provide a fee-based transport solution.Research purpose: This study investigates the intention to use this service in a South African context, specifically through the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) because of the suitability of these models in this context. Differences between regular and seldom users are also examined.Motivation for the study: With the widespread use of Uber in South Africa, understanding the factors contributing to the intention to use Uber requires examination.Research design, approach and method: Data were collected using a quantitative survey among panel respondents of South Africans, using electronic data collection. The research instrument comprised pre-existing items measured on a 6-point Likert scale. A total of 367 usable responses were received. Data analysis included testing for differences in means (t-test, Satterthwaite-Welch t-test, Anova F-test, Welch F-test) as well as regression analysis (by means of multiple regressions and two-stage least squares).Main findings: The findings indicate that South Africans intend to use the service largely due to their positive attitude towards the service, the perceived usefulness (PU) of the app and perceived behavioural (PB) control associated with the service. The value of the app has been highlighted in this research, and the importance of its functioning is evident.Practical/managerial implications: The importance of providing a positive service experience impacts the intention to use the service in the future. This emphasises the importance of the service itself and the functioning of the app.Contribution/value-add: Understanding the intention to use this service enables further development of this app and associated services.
