Moving toward sustainable development: Social, economic and environmental value as antecedents of purchase intention in the sustainable crafts sector

Abstract

Sustainable development has become a prevailing strategy for today's society, increasingly aware of the new challenges we face. This is causing consumers to demand and adopt more sustainable purchasing behaviors, based on the perception of different values. This article examines the relationship between social value, economic value, and environmental value with perceived quality and perceived value as antecedents of purchase intent in the sustainable crafts sector. The data were collected through an online survey. The model has been analyzed using a SEM model with Smart-PLS. The results show that economic and environmental values positively influence attitude and perceived quality. However, social value only positively influences attitude. Both attitude and perceived quality have a positive effect on the purchase intention of sustainable artisanal products. In the final section, we discuss in detail the theoretical and practitioner implications of the findings obtained.

CEO attention and sustainable development: An analysis of its influence on firm's sustainability orientation
