“…Recent studies have studied the elements that influence the purchasing of environmentally friendly goods under the attitude-behaviour-context (ABC) theory and the moderating impact of applications of information and communication technology (ICT) innovation (Chen et al, 2021). Still, they ignore the factors such as environmental knowledge, social influence, effort expectancy, cost value and facilitating conditions.…”

Sustainable green economy is the need of time, and eco-friendly products can play a decisive role in this goal. Low consumption of eco-friendly products is a serious concern of researchers and policymakers. To address this issue, we have studied the phenomenon in a developing country and provided insights to researchers and policymakers about the factors that influence the consumers’ behaviour in developing behaviour. We have designed an integrated model based on UTAUT to study the developing countries’ behavioural intentions towards eco-friendly products. 805 useable sample is obtained to analyze by implying SEM-ANN dual-stage hybrid model. Results revealed that environmental knowledge is a significant predictor and a moderator, but consumers are less educated about ecological issues in developing countries. Results also revealed that male and female consumers’ preferences are differently influenced by factors studied to measure adoption intentions of eco-friendly products. Sensitivity analysis results revealed that social influence followed by effort expectance and perceived expectancy of eco-friendly products are more important for developing countries’ customers. The study also provides empirical evidence of methodological advancement using SEM-ANN and suggests a dual-stage hybrid model in studies involving human behaviour.

“…Prior research regarded the benefits of technology as one of the main intrinsic motivations that influence consumer behavior and used the TAM to test the technological impacts (Chen et al, 2021; Van der Heijden, 2004). TAM is one of the most widely used frameworks in relevant literature to explain the use of specific systems or services and investigate the relationship between technological factors and consumer behavior.…”

“…Intrinsic motivation refers to behavior driven by internal rewards. Many studies consider the benefits of information and communication technologies (ICT) applications as intrinsic drivers that help facilitate consumers' eco‐friendly behavior because these technologies substantially improve users' perceived effectiveness and enjoyment (Chen et al, 2021; Kim et al, 2007). To understand the technological impacts on consumer behavior, the technology acceptance model (TAM) has usually been applied (Davis, 1986; Sun & Zhang, 2006; Teo & Noyes, 2011).…”

There is much evidence that consumers' eco-friendly consumption behaviors have changed with the development of the mobile internet economy and social networks.Social commerce, which combines social media and e-commerce, is widely used to promote eco-friendly consumption behavior. However, there has been insufficient empirical research into how technological and social factors affect consumers' ecofriendly behavior in the social commerce context. Taking the "Green Box Area" program based on Alibaba Group's two mobile apps as the research object, this study developed a model that integrated technological and social roles to predict consumers' eco-friendly behavior. Using data from 468 users participating in the "Green Box Area" program, structural equation modeling analysis suggested that technological and social factors are essential predictors of consumers' eco-friendly behavior in both short-term and medium-/long-term models. Furthermore, consumer achievement played a critical mediating role in the causal chain of social factors influencing eco-friendly behavior. Additionally, the findings showed that perceived ease of use and social influence significantly affected short-term but not medium-/long-term eco-friendly behavior. Conversely, social interaction affected eco-friendly behavior only in the medium-/long-term. The results offer implications for policymakers and social commerce practitioners to consider the effective promotion of consumers' eco-friendly behavior.

The growth of green-oriented businesses for sustainable development (SD) is no longer optional in the current dynamic world, especially for manufacturing businesses in general. Accordingly, the present study investigates the interlinkages between green organizational strategy (GOS), environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR), and organizational sustainable performance (OSP) by exploring the key mediating role of green technology innovation (GTI). This study uses a quantitative method to gather data from Chinese manufacturing industries, employing a well-structured questionnaire. Senior and middle-level managers were the intended respondents. From the primary survey, 264 valid responses were gathered. The final data were analyzed using SmartPLS (version 3.3.9) by adopting structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the associations between the targeted constructs, and the results add to the recent literature by offering a cohesive model of GOS, ECSR, GTI, and OSP. The findings revealed that GOS has a strong positive effect on ECSR, GTI, and OSP. Further, ECSR has a strong positive impact on GTI and OSP. Meanwhile, GTI is a key mediating variable in these relationships, which previous studies have not explored. This study innovatively integrates the three green traits, namely, GOS, ECSR, and GTI, into a comprehensive model that is understudied in existing literature in order to help businesses improve their sustainable competitive advantage. The ultimate aim is to help businesses improve their environmental performance and achieve solid sustainability over the long term.
