The Moderating Role of Product Type in Network Buying Behavior

Abstract

This article investigates how consumer attitudes toward green buying and subjective norms influence the network buying with the mediation of behavioral intentions and moderation of product type. Due to the increasing environmental concerns, network buying has positively changed human interactions with the environment. Based on a sample of 392 Chinese consumers, this study reveals that consumer attitudes toward green buying and subjective norms significantly influence network buying. The empirical results provide strong evidence for the mediating role of behavioral intentions in the relationship between the attitudes toward green buying and network buying. This study empirically tests a model, including the moderating effect of product type toward green products through network buying. Green consumption through network buying will help consumers to live a healthy life together with achieving environmental sustainability and consumer well-being at large. Interestingly, the current study suggests that network buying can drive sustainable consumption.

Inside out. Social media videos and destination branding. Neuromarketing using EEG technique

“…Social media practitioners and traveling and tourism practitioners may be very well aware of the rapid changes through the innovative use of social media to promote products and services (Xiao et al , 2020). Still, on the other hand, literature seems to be somewhat lagging while covering the field of social media (Xiao et al , 2020; Zajonc, 1965). This research is an effort to fill this gap.…”

Factors Influence on Customer Purchase Intention via Livetream: Case of Vietnam

“…Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap by proposing and empirically testing the relationship between product attributes and product attributes (Kim & Krishnan, 2015), diverse culture (Kim & Krishnan, 2015), online reference group community (Wilimzig, 2011) and trust for the seller (Bente, Baptist, & Leuschner, 2012) to online shopping decision behavior through Livestream. In addition, this study also clarifies the relationship between moderating role of product type in online buying behavior (Xiao, Xie, Shahzad, & Khattak, 2020) with the intention of online consumption behavior of customers. Finally, the goal of this study is to be more specific about the link between technology and personal use of technology than previous research.…”

Determinants of the Intention to Purchase Branded Meat: Mediation of Brand Trust

“…Structural equation modeling (SEM) offered the essential measurement of meat PIs tendencies and how relationship attitude leads to PIs (Figure 2). “SEM is a statistical modelling method of analysis that enables the testing of a series of separate, yet, interrelated constructs and regression equations, allowing for the analysis of multiple relationships at once” (Xiao et al, 2020). From the results presented in Table 4, the robust relationship was found to exist between attitudes and BT, where the beta coefficient was 0.718 ( p = .000 < .05), and this was upheld by the relationship between attitudes and PI, with a beta coefficient of 0.623 and the p value was less than .000 < .05.…”
