“…Our work builds on the recent studies in the Sustainable Development literature, the study of Awuni and Du (2016) who examined consumer choice as a function of consumption values, it also extends the exploratory work of Sobhanifard and Apourvari (2022) who highlighted the role of knowledge and environmental concerns in sustainable consumption, and by examining a lesser studied emerging country, like South Africa, we add to the conversation around whether culture influences green consumption (Ghazali et al, 2017). Therefore, South Africa offers an interesting context for this study.…”

Educators, marketers, and policymakers need to understand what factors influence the consumers' purchase of green products to encourage green product buying. Thus, this study examines the antecedents to green purchases. An online survey provides quantitative input for a SmartPLS analysis. The study draws on the theory of consumption values to investigate how emotional and social values affect green purchasing decisions. The role of knowledge-seeking in developing these values is investigated and found to be significantly positive. The relationships between emotional value, social value, and green purchase behavior are found to be mediated by environmental concerns. This study contributes to the discussion around consumption values by showing that environmental concern has a stronger relationship with green purchases than emotional and social value. It is through the environmental concern that emotional and social values influence green purchases. Our findings suggest that marketers should leverage the consumers' knowledge-seeking and environmental concern in their advertising campaigns by emphasizing a specific green product novelty and highlighting the casual connection between green buying and their effect on the environment.

Green consumption is an important tool to accelerate the circular economy and promote sustainable development. The identification of critical influencing factors for green consumption is the key to promoting green consumption behavior (GCB). Firstly, based on the joint framework of theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the attitude–behavior–context (ABC) theory, we summarized 32 influencing factors from six dimensions: consumer attitude, cognitive factors, sense of responsibility, economic factors, government regulation, and green product supply. Secondly, the Delphi method was used to modify and optimize the initial influencing factor index. Thirdly, we constructed a social network analysis (SNA) model of influencing factors to determine the causal relationships between each influencing factor. All factors were divided into driving factors and result factors via the calculation of degree centrality, and the critical influencing factors and influencing paths of residents’ GCB were ultimately determined. Finally, based on the empirical research results, corresponding countermeasures and suggestions were put forward. The results show that the top five critical influencing factors include green purchase intention, willingness to pay, risk perception, green product certification, publicity and education, green product price, and green attribute information. Among them, green product certification, publicity and education, and green product price are critical driving factors in GCB.

Women’s Role in Purchase Pattern of Indian Families to Achieve Green Behaviour

This article aims to identify the role of women in achieving a green environment in a family system. With green practices gaining significance for the adoption of sustainability, not only at the corporate level but also at the household level, it becomes essential to measure the role and impact of a green consciousness of women in adopting green purchase behaviour in families. A standardised questionnaire was designed, and a purposive sampling approach was used to acquire 621 samples. This research implemented confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to validate the model. PLS-SEM analysis is used to validate the developed model. The existing green behaviour literature focuses on three dimensions: environmental attitude, concern, and behaviour. This article investigated the significance of the three dimensions in individual women in the household and their importance in determining their influence on the family's green behaviour. CFA was used to test the discovered factors, and the results were published.
