Knowledge foundation in green purchase behaviour: Multidimensional scaling method

Abstract

For the past few decades, because of the environmental hazards, green purchase has been subject to wide ranges of studies. Subsequently, understanding the intellectual structure of the green purchase behaviour is increasingly becoming important. This study investigates the citation in green purchase academic literature and it analyses the knowledge structure in it. The following bibliometric analysis comprised 86 green purchase articles. By employing multidimensional scaling (MDS) to identify the ranges of the intellectual influences and shaped green purchase behaviour. The knowledge structure in green purchase is discovered by employing co-citation analysis to find the most important and effective studies in the green purchase study domain. A conceptual framework is developed and finally the future model was proposed.

Unravelling the differential effects of pride and guilt along with values on green intention through environmental concern and attitude

“…Ecological concern summarises an individual's emotional evaluation of ecological concerns and the consequential harm to the eco-system and its inhabitant (Marvi et al , 2020; Fauzan and Azhar, 2019) and is frequently hypothesised as a direct precursor of green buying intent (e.g. Koenig-Lewis et al , 2014; Paladino and Ng, 2013).…”

“…Furthermore, it demonstrates the comprehension of accountability to conserve and safeguard the eco-system and its environment through involvement and commitment. The degree of willingness to conserve and safeguard the eco-system is proportional to the level of concern felt by an individual (Marvi et al , 2020; Fauzan and Azhar, 2019).…”

“…Concerns for ecological problems are imperative antecedents of sustainable and ecological behaviors (De Dominicis et al , 2017). Environmental concern is the degree of consciousness for the ecological problems and the willingness to reinforce, resolve or else contribute by providing solution to avoid such harm (Marvi et al , 2020; Fauzan and Azhar, 2019). Environmental concern is regarded as a significant determinant of environmental behaviour (Paul et al , 2016; Chen and Hung, 2016; Verma and Chandra, 2018; Verma et al , 2019).…”

“…Attitudinal factors are not enough to exert influence on the behavioural intent and behaviour of consumers rather it is conjointly contingent on other cognitive variables, like ecological concern and ecological knowledge (Kumar et al, 2017;Paul et al, 2016) Concerns for ecological problems are imperative antecedents of sustainable and ecological behaviors (De Dominicis et al, 2017). Environmental concern is the degree of consciousness for the ecological problems and the willingness to reinforce, resolve or else contribute by providing solution to avoid such harm (Marvi et al, 2020;Fauzan and Azhar, 2019). Environmental concern is regarded as a significant determinant of environmental behaviour (Paul et al, 2016;Chen and Hung, 2016;Verma and Chandra, 2018;Verma et al, 2019).…”
