“…Therefore, individual concern is a valuable driver of environmentally conscious behavior, which ranges from green purchasing behavior and recycling to energy conservation [43,[62][63][64][65]72]. Previous studies have proven that environmental concern affects consumer attitudes [55,61,64,65,86]. According to Maichum et al [62] and Paul et al [63], environmental concern also affects subjective norms and perceived behavioral control, leading to purchasing intentions.…”

“…In the data collection in this study, the respondents who assessed the predictor and those who assessed the dependent variables were the same person (self-reported methods). Self-reported methods can cause biases in judgment (e.g., the common method bias) [55]. The common method bias/variance is the systematic error variance between variables measured by a function of the same method and/or source [117].…”

“…The values of the new environmental paradigm from the VBNT include biospheric, altruistic, and egoistic values [53]. The integration of TPB and VBNT was used to assess the effect of altruistic values on purchasing decisions in relation to energy-efficient equipment [54] and investigate the intention to purchase organic food [55] in Vietnam, Southeast Asia. Waste collection activities are highly dependent on the participation of consumers as suppliers.…”

Consumer Intention to Participate in E-Waste Collection Programs: A Study of Smartphone Waste in Indonesia

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Indonesia is a developing country with a low-level e-waste management system based on a limited number of informal initiatives. E-waste requires proper management procedures, which involve the design of a reverse logistics management network. Consumers play a critical role in such a network, because the network runs when they willingly participate as suppliers of waste. This paper applies the Theory of Planned Behavior framework and extends it using Reverse Logistics drivers, the Value Belief Norm Theory, and facility accessibility to explain consumer intention to participate in e-waste collection programs. A survey was conducted on smartphone users in Indonesia, with a total of 324 valid questionnaires. The results showed that government drivers, facility accessibility, and personal attitudes significantly influence consumer intentions. Environmental concern has a positive influence on consumer intentions through the variables of the Theory of Planned Behavior and perceived behavioral control through government drivers. This study shows the need for integration, because the variables reinforce each other. However, neither economic drivers nor subjective norms significantly influence consumer intentions. This finding distinguishes Indonesia from other countries, especially developed countries, in that e-waste collection programs have not become part of the culture in Indonesia. For this reason, Indonesia needs regulations, as the most influential variable, to regulate the implementation of such a program.

“…Pétursson [16] focused on the impact of emotions and the sense of community and intimacy on organic produce purchases and Kim, Lusk and Brorsen [17] looked into another aspect of organic food purchases-the effect of social pressure, i.e., the need to demonstrate a certain social status to others. Nguyen et al [18], on the other hand, proposed a unique model of buying behaviour incorporating environmental concern and guilt, after investigating the key determinants of consumer choice to buy organic meat in an emerging market.…”

Customer Preferences for Organic Agriculture Produce in the Czech Republic: 2016 and 2019

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The article analyses the customer attitude towards the qualities and benefits of organic agriculture production for farmers and customers in the Czech Republic, comparing the situation in 2016 and 2019. More than 2500 respondents were subject to the marketing research in the years 2016 and 2019. The data were processed using correspondence analysis and logistic regression. The research study shows that the number of respondents who consider organic food is growing; at the same time, there is a rather large share of consumers who believe organic food to be of better quality. The results show a favourable change in the popularity of organic food. While, in 2016, the main decisive factor in shopping for organic food was its price, in 2019, the main criterion, for the respondents, was quality, with the criterion of price being complemented by the perception of organic food as healthier than conventional food. At the same time, it was established that, the amount spent on organic food in 2019 was higher than that in 2016. This finding was in positive correlation with the increase in respondents’ income. For farmers, organic farming is a promising alternative to conventional agriculture due to a rising demand for organic produce.

“…Previous studies have examined different green product categories, including energy efficient products, organic foods, electric vehicles and recycled and reusable products. Of these products, organic foods have received increasing research and practice attention because the purchase and consumption of such products contribute significantly to the achievement of the UN's sustainable development goals, particularly those relating to sustainable consumption and human wellbeing (Nguyen et al, 2021). Moreover, organic foods generate only a few negative effects on the environment (Sultan et al, 2020), and they are healthier than traditional foods, which are often affected by pesticides and non-natural substances (Shamsi et al, 2020).…”

PurposePrevious research has yielded mixed results on the relationship between consumer perception and purchase intention towards organic food products. Although the prior literature has widely applied planned behaviour theory, using a single theoretical approach often provides limited understanding of organic food consumption. This study builds upon consumer perception and social cognitive theories to examine the effects of perceived food healthiness and environmental consciousness on the purchase intention of organic drinking products. The current research also assesses the mediating role of consumer extrinsic motivation and moderating role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) beliefs in these effects.Design/methodology/approachA survey method was applied to collect data from 606 consumers from different food retailers in Vietnam. Data were analysed using multivariate analysis techniques, such as structural equation modelling and bootstrap analysis.FindingsResults of hypothesis testing support the predictive ability of perception and social cognitive theories in explaining consumers' perceptions, motivation and behavioural intention towards organic drinking products. Furthermore, results provide evidence for the moderating effect of CSR beliefs on the relationship between consumer extrinsic motivation and purchase intention.Originality/valueThis study may be amongst the first that explains consumption of organic drinking products from the perspectives of consumer perception and social cognitive theories. It provides a unique research model that explains the influence of perceived food healthiness and environmental consciousness on purchase intention of organic drinking products with the mediating role of consumer extrinsic motivation and moderating role of CSR beliefs. The current research provides fresh insights into the consumption of organic drinking products in an emerging market based on a mediated moderation mechanism, which has been limited in the prior literature.
