Motivation to Adopt Renewable Energy among Generation Y

University Students’ Reactions To Ecologically Responsible Packaging

“…Meanwhile, as shown in Table 03, Hypothesis 1 which hypothesized the significant influence of environmental concern on intention to choose ecological packaging was not supported by results (H1: b=.130, t = 1.868). These findings are consistent with past studies by Bartiaux (2008), Zahari and Esa (2016) who found that environmental concern has no effect on the selection of green packaging. However, the results are in contrast with the work of Lasuin and Ching (2014), Prakash and Pathak (2017), Karunarathna et al (2017) and Kardos et al (2019) who confirmed that environmental concern significantly influenced the use of ecologically responsible packaging by university students.…”

Investigating Factors Affecting the Adoption of Renewable Energy within Businesses in the Egyptian Market: An Exploratory Research

“…Similarly, RE benefits have been highlighted by some writers such as examining relative advantages relative to traditional energy, investigating the degree of expected advantages satisfactions and displaying more benefits related to applying RE (Fergen & B. Jacquet, 2016;Ferreira et al, 2018;Ito, 2017;Zahari & Esa, 2016). Moreover, there are other drivers associated with the use of RE as have been demonstrated by some studies such as environmental concern, consumer beliefs, perceptions of RE implementation, cost and perceived ease of use (Alam et al, 2014;Zahari & Esa, 2016;Zyadin et al, 2014).…”

“…In contrast, Ha and Janda (2012) used the theory of reasoned action (TRA), and discovered that attitudes toward purchase energy-efficient products have a stronger effect on behavioral intentions compared to the subjective norms (Ha & Janda, 2012). Similarly, Zahari and Esa (2016) employed the theory of reasoned action (TRA) to recognize the drivers motivating the adoption of RE, as the results demonstrated that environmental concerns and relative advantages have more impact than consumer belief and consumer knowledge in the adoption of RE. As a result, the theory of reasoned action (TRA) declared that the prediction of intentions to implement a certain behavior depends on subjective norms and attitudes toward the behavior (Hai, Moula, & Seppä lä , 2017).…”

“…1 Few authors have mainly highlighted the relevance of the general customer knowledge and awareness regarding RE, for example, RE sources, benefits, drawbacks, technologies and so on. Meanwhile, these studies have claimed that more interest should be paid to RE knowledge and awareness by providing formal and informal education, giving information to the stakeholders and public members and encouraging the participation in an information session (Alam et al, 2014;Baharoon et al, 2016;Bidwell, 2016;Zahari & Esa, 2016; Zyadin, World Journal of Business and Management ISSN 2377-4622 2020 Puhakka, Ahponen, & Pelkonen, 2014). Additionally, there are some researchers who have focused on investigation regarding the role of attitudes as one of RE critical factors, for instance, personal and public attitudes for changing attitudes toward RE use instead of conventional energy (Baharoon et al, 2016;Park & Ohm, 2014;Yun & Lee, 2015;Zyadin et al, 2014).…”

Renewable Energy Source Adoption

“…3 Conceptual framework of critical success factors for the adoption renewable energy source ability of the new technology improves consumer belief in the new energy source since the consumer can evaluate the relative benefits of the technology. Lack of this knowledge will limit its public acceptance (Zahari and Esa 2015).…”
