“…In terms of the green purchasing decisions of consumers, past research has argued that environmentally friendly consciousness motivates consumers to change their opinions and behaviour towards a more sustainable lifestyle (Haq, Whitelegg, Cinderby, & Owen, ; Vugt & Samuelson, ). The work of Lee et al () has also emphasized that sustainable values have an influence on environmentally friendly lifestyle when it comes to clothing purchases. What can be considered an environmentally friendly lifestyle will encompass characteristics such as preferences for natural resources conservation, self‐sufficiency, voluntary simplicity and sustainable development (Aydin & Kazancoglu, ; Binder & Blankenberg, ).…”

“…Many studies have concluded that green purchasing intention can effectively describe green purchasing behaviour of consumers (Chan, ; Maichum et al, ; Soyez, ). Specifically, green purchasing intention has been described as the motivation a consumer has, in cognizant decision or in planning, to exert efforts in realizing green purchasing behaviour (Chan, ; Lee et al, ).…”

“…Studies have provided empirical support that cultural values do in fact affect consumer behavioural intention when it comes to environmentally friendly products (Cordano, Welcomer, Scherer, Pradenas, & Parada, 2011;Deng, Walker, & Swinnerton, 2006;Riley, Kohlbacher, & Hofmeister, 2012). Some studies have also suggested that the lifestyle of consumers is deeply rooted in their cultural values (Lee, Kim, & Yang, 2015;Nordlund & Garvill, 2002;Stern, Dietz, & Kalof, 1993). Thus, lifestyle can provide an explanation for the complex patterns of behavioural intention of consumers.…”

Environmental problems, especially in the case of water and air pollution, are the harmful result of the overconsumption of fossil fuels as well as various forms of industrial sewage water discharge. Recently, growing environmentally friendly purchasing behaviour of consumers has become regarded as an effective method for alleviating such environmental problems. Due to concerns regarding the natural environment, consumers have increasingly begun to exhibit favourable attitudes towards environmentally friendly products, and as a result, are more likely to purchase “green” products. However, green purchasing behaviour of consumers varies across different nations and cultures. This study aims to reveal how Chinese cultural values (specifically, the Doctrine of the Mean) influence green purchasing intention of Chinese consumers. As the lifestyles of consumers will be deeply affected by their cultural values, this study examines the mediating effects of the four dimensions of Chinese lifestyle have on consumers. At the same time, environmental knowledge is considered as a moderating variable in order to investigate the relationship between the Doctrine of the Mean and green purchasing intention. The study’s data were collected from Chinese consumers. Empirical results reveal that such Chinese cultural values are positively associated with green purchasing intention, and that three dimensions of consumer lifestyle (namely leadership, cost consciousness and development consciousness), are all found to play mediating roles in the relationship between the Doctrine of the Mean and green purchasing intention in Chinese consumers. The moderating effects of environmental knowledge are exhibited in the influence of leadership as well as development consciousness on green purchasing intention. The study’s findings have theoretical implications for understanding green purchasing intention as well as behaviour of Chinese consumers further. The study’s findings also present practical implications for how to promote green purchasing intention in Chinese consumers better.

“…Sustainable networks often limit the accessibility to and measurability of prevailing consumers due to undistinguishable entities and the massive amount of information of this market segment [60] (Lee, Kim & Yang, 2015). Indeed, the study outcome provides an account of the development and obsolescence of a sustainable network, the eBay Green Team Facebook community.…”

Given that novel merchandising informatics is seen as a better approach to studying eco-friendly markets, this study aimed to explore consumer socialization of sustainable networks based on the theory of consumer socialization. By employing social network analysis using the NodeXL program, we examined the social class hierarchy, investigated the structure of social agent–learner relationships, and explored the social learning properties of the eBay Green Team Facebook network. The results indicated that the network has been structured as a ‘tight-crowd network’ through 76,482 interactions among 1612 actors from 19 clusters. Specifically, the centrality measure revealed the top influentials and their interactions with other eBay Green participants. The semantic analysis discerned the salient words, which implies that consumers gain utility from this network. We concluded that sustainable networks in social media can provide an account of the socialization of consumer attitudes and the role of top influentials in sustaining the relational network.
