As environment become a prominent issue throughout the world, consumer behaviour significantly changed and adapted to be more sustainable. This interest around environment has led to aspiring business opportunities of green product or environmentally friendly product. Firms started to produce green product as a way to remain competitive in the market. With the number of green product increased, there’s a skeptical believe that companies started to present misleading and false information about their green product to merely boost profit or reputation. This consumers’ believe is alarming to firms as it is considered to detriment consumer’s purchase intention. In addition, young generation are more likely to be open to new information and are considered as potential environmentally friendly product consumers. Alongside with green skepticism, two most - studied indicators of green purchase intention notably environmental knowledge and environmental concern were analysed on young consumers’ green purchase intention. Research was conducted using quantitative approach to 403 Generation Z respondents and analysed using Partial Least Square (PLS) – SEM method. The result of this research shows that green skepticism has insignificant negative influence on green purchase intention while both environmental knowledge and environmental concern have positive and significant influence on green purchase intention. These findings might be useful for companies to understand the green purchase behaviour among young consumers and better developed their marketing strategies.

The Impact

The present study aims to determine critical factors affecting the green product purchase intention of Bangladeshi young consumers. In order to investigate the relationship, a formal questionnaire survey has been conducted targeting young Bangladeshi consumers, aged between 18 and 32 years old. A total of 400 responses have been finally screened out for analysis. Data analysis was carried out through partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that young consumers’ green purchase intention (GPI) is largely determined by their attitude,  environmental concern (EC), and willingness to pay (WTP). However, the impact of perceived moral obligation (PMO), on green purchase intention has been found insignificant. The study leaves specific implications for the strategic marketing decision-makers who strive to promote green product consumption in Bangladesh.

Purpose: This research examines the effect of Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), religiosity, and company image on intention to use Sharia fintech for donation among Indonesian young consumers. Methodology: This study used a quantitative method with data collection techniques using an online questionnaire. Respondents filled out the questionnaire based on the Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). The questionnaire was distributed and collected in less than one week, from 26th March 2021 to 29th March 2021. The ideal sample is five times higher than the number of indicators. The number of indicators is 20, so the ideal sample is 100 or more. This study has successfully collected 206 respondents. However, 13 respondents filled the same scale for all questions, so 193 is chosen as data analysis. The valid data were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). Findings: This research shows the intention to use Sharia fintech to pay donations influenced by perceived usefulness (PU) and religiosity. In contrast, perceived ease of use (PEOU) and image are not positively related to the intention of using Sharia fintech for donation. Practical Implication: Religiosity and PU positively influence the interest in using Sharia fintech to pay donation. So, it is expected for fintech to comply with Sharia compliance and still comply with regulations from the OJK and DSN related to legality aspects. Furthermore, fintech startups and developers can build a more user-friendly application. Originality: This research is a replication-based model and is adapted from published research. The originality in this research is in the respondent who young generation. Intention to pay donation using fintech Sharia is the main focus to be researched. This primary focus has not been being researched beforehand.

The Relationship

Many consumers are concerned about environmental issues and have expressed interest in purchasing green products. However, actual sales of green products are still not as high as expected. Therefore, marketers of green products may need to investigate the factors driving green purchase behaviors. In this study, we proposed an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) model that links consumers’ environmental concerns, perceived image of the company, consumer innovativeness, and environmental knowledge with green product purchase behavior. We applied a quantitative approach to collect the data via online questionnaires through Amazon MTurk. With 974 useable samples, the data were analyzed with structural equation modeling (SEM) using Smart PLS. The results showed that green purchase intention positively and significantly affects green purchase behavior. Moreover, the multigroup analysis revealed that the direct influence of green purchase intention on green purchase behavior is higher in developing countries than in developed countries. Regarding the direct effect on green purchase intention, attitude toward green products, perceived consumer effectiveness (PCE), environmental concern, and company’s perceived green image are significant antecedents of the intention to purchase, with attitude toward green products being the most robust antecedent among the three. However, subjective norms do not act as a direct antecedent of purchase intention. For the indirect effect on green purchase intention, four main antecedents (attitude toward green products, subjective norms, PCE, and environmental concerns) indirectly impact purchase intention via the mediating role of the perceived green image of the company. This study contributes to existing literatures via extending the TPB model. Regarding attitude-intention-behavior model, we found that environmental concern complements the model as an antecedent of green purchase intention. Moreover, a company’s perceived green image mediates the relationship between four antecedents and green purchase intention. Therefore, marketers of green products may also enhance future purchases by promoting the green image of the company. Particularly, we found that environmental knowledge positively moderates the relationship between environmental concern and a company’s perceived green image. We added on the empirical evidence that PCE plays a crucial role in stimulating green purchases as its direct positive influence on green purchase behavior is larger than that of green purchase intention. Moreover, consumer innovativeness positively moderates the relationship between PCE and green purchase intention.
