“…In addition to the above, the theory of reasoned action suggests that attitude positively affects consumers' behavioural intentions [24]. A significant number of studies have shown a positive relationship between consumers' attitudes and their intentions to adopt new technologies, especially EM vehicles [14,[44][45][46][47][48]. As a result of this, the following hypothesis was proposed: Hypothesis 7 (H7).…”

Internal combustion engine vehicles are a key source contributing to urban air pollution. In order to reduce noxious emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, governments and the automobile industry have started promoting the adoption of electro mobility (EM) options over the last few years, albeit with limited success in terms of market penetration. This study aimed to improve the current understanding of factors influencing customers’ intentions to adopt EM options. Building on the theories of perceived value and reasoned action, this study posits a behavioural model based on four dimensions of perceived value and two technical performance characteristics of EM vehicles with regards to their influence on customer attitudes towards EM options, as a precursor to purchase. The model was tested empirically using structural equation modelling analysis using data gathered through an online survey of 404 consumers in Spain. The results of this study showed that emotional issues, product price, vehicle acceleration and low engine noise levels have a considerable impact on consumer attitudes, which, in turn, have a positive impact on purchase intentions of EM vehicles. However, quality and social value were not found to have a positive influence on consumer attitudes. On the basis of this research it is recommended that, in order to promote the use of EM vehicles, governments and manufacturers alike should make better use of emotional issues in their social and product marketing strategies, as well as focusing on specific product attributes such as performance (e.g., vehicle acceleration and low engine noise levels) and value for money in terms of energy consumption.

“…Air pollution is the global health threat that should gather most attention in the 21st century. Accompanied with rapid industrialization and urbanization, fine particulate matter emission, which has resulted in haze air pollution, has become one of the most severe environmental problems in China [5]. Fine particulate matter emission has come with rapid industrialization and urbanization causing severe air pollution, such as smog.…”

“…Exposures to PM2.5 cast a significant influence on health; with the average of PM2.5 concentrations in Taiwan in 2013 came a 15% increase in risks of lung cancer and pediatric asthma and a 25% increase in risks of stroke, cardiac diseases, and chronic respiratory diseases [13]. Shi, Wang, and Zhao [5] found that the regulation of residents' PM2.5-reducing behaviors concerning the use of vehicles is a key factor in reducing PM2.5 emission in urban areas.…”

“…Shi et al [5] discussed the PM2.5-reducing behaviors of citizens using public transportation and citizens who purchased electric cars and analyzed major predictive factors and their influence on the basis of TPB. Their results showed that both subjective norms and moral norms exerted a positive influence on the willingness to reduce each vehicle's exhaust of PM2.5.…”

This study analyzed citizens' willingness to use the Environmental Info Push app to participate in air quality control and air pollution prevention. The participants used the app for two weeks and then we investigated the users' opinions about factors relevant to the app, air pollution control, and prevention. Answer sheets to questionnaires were received from 347 participants. All of them were valid and the study conducted research simulation and statistical analysis with SPSS 19 Statistics software and SmartPLS 2.0. The results showed that an individual's willingness to control and prevent air pollution is most influenced by other people. The second most influential factor is the degree of severity of climate change that an individual has recognized. Other influential factors and the order of their effect included:

Environmental management accounting (EMA) has been regarded as an effective way to deal with environmental issues and economic performance. On the basis of institutional theory, this research aims to examine the effects of institutional pressures on the implementation of EMA and how such effects are affected by top management support and perceived benefit. Data were collected from the manufacturing firms in the Yangtze River Delta using questionnaire survey method. The results indicated that coercive pressure and normative pressure positively and significantly affect the implementation of EMA whereas mimetic pressure has no significant effect. Furthermore, top management support and perceived benefit play different moderating roles in the relationships between institutional pressures and the implementation of EMA. Top management support and perceived benefit positively moderate the relationships between coercive pressure, normative pressure, and the implementation of EMA although negatively moderate the relationship between mimetic pressure and the implementation of EMA. On the basis of the findings, policy implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
