Environmental concern and willingness to pay a premium significantly drive green packaging purchases in the Greater Bay Area. The enhanced model improves prediction of consumer behavior, highlighting key factors beyond traditional theories.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Consumer Behavior
- Behavioral Economics
Background:
- Ecological strain in the Greater Bay Area necessitates sustainable solutions like green packaging.
- Conventional Theory of Planned Behavior inadequately explains green consumption patterns.
Purpose of the Study:
- To augment the Theory of Planned Behavior for green packaging purchasing.
- To investigate the roles of environmental concern and willingness to pay a premium.
Main Methods:
- Survey of 370 consumers in the Greater Bay Area.
- Covariance-based structural equation modeling (SEM) and mediation analysis.
- Utilized SPSS 26 and AMOS 28 for data analysis.
Main Results:
- Attitude, perceived behavioral control, and willingness to pay a premium significantly predict behavioral intention.
- Environmental concern positively influences attitudes, control, willingness to pay, and indirectly, intention.
- Subjective norm did not significantly impact behavioral intention.
Conclusions:
- The extended model significantly enhances explanatory power for green packaging purchase intention and behavior.
- Incorporating environmental concern and willingness to pay improves prediction of green consumer behavior.
- Value-based antecedents are crucial for understanding and promoting green purchasing.
