“…This outcome is consistent with previous studies by Greaves et al [64], Ha and Janda [36], and Wang et al [34]. Waris and Hameed [65] also found attitude as a significant determinant of purchase intentions for energy efficient appliances in Pakistan's context. Attitude can be developed or modified by promoting a positive image of the act among individuals [13].…”

Amplified energy demand due to technologically advanced electrical and electronic appliances has accentuated the importance of energy efficiency to overcome energy shortage and environmental concerns. As adoption of energy efficient appliances depends on perception of the consumers, this study focuses on behavioral exploration of the consumers’ intentions towards the purchase of energy efficient appliances using an extended model of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The study is based on a survey comprising 289 respondents. Partial least square (PLS) method is used to analyze the data. The results show that the attitude, perceived behavioral control, policy information campaigns, and past-purchase experiences significantly impact behavioral intentions of the consumers, whereas subjective and moral norms are insignificant in shaping behavioral intentions. Based on analyses, policy implications emphasizing (i) strong awareness campaigns, (ii) energy efficiency incentives, and (iii) replacement initiatives are proposed to help policy makers and administrators in achieving required goals of energy efficiency and conservation. The proposed research model and policy initiatives are a blueprint for synergies among policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in understanding and shaping consumers’ behaviors towards the purchase of energy efficient products, particularly, in developing countries.

“…The authors found a review in other studies related to the Intention (INT) variable that raised the question of the impact of the intention variable, examining the perceived satisfaction of students, behavioral intent, and e-learning effectiveness [12][13][14]. This analysis, therefore, explores the satisfaction of learners, behavioral intentions, and the Blackboard e-learning system's effectiveness [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Using a standard questionnaire, a total of 424 university students were surveyed.…”

Corona Virus Disease-19 pandemic has changed people's habits today. Likewise, with the use of social media in terms of conveying information to the public. The government has now formed task forces in each region to prevent the spread of the virus. Among its duties is to convey information related to the prevention and spread of Corona Virus Disease-19. Considering that information delivery is deemed ineffective, some people do not fully know information about the Corona Virus Disease-19. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of information on Corona Virus Disease-19. To understand the relationship between the public's intention to end the Covid-19 pandemic and the effectiveness of Covid-19 information through social media the statistical analysis used is Cramer's V Non-Parametric Statistics, meanwhile, to find out whether the public's intention to end the Covid-19 pandemic affects the effectiveness of Covid-19 information through social media it is done through the partial least square approach. Questionnaire distribution via WhatsApp and made in google form to facilitate the distribution and filling. The number of responses was 401 respondents. The results obtained, the relationship between the latest education and attitudes when receiving hoax information and work relations with the frontline to end Corona Virus Disease-19 is that the community is declared insignificant, while the intention variable does not have a significant effect on the effectiveness factor. Different objects and respondents will be more interesting for further research as material for other researchers. Research results can be used as material for related parties, in this case the government to determine the media used to convey information about Covid-19.

What explains why some consumers believe their individual consumption choices impact the natural environment, social issues, and employee well‐being and others do not? This study examines the moderating role of global and local social identities on the relations between cultural values of vertical and horizontal individualism and collectivism, and perceived consumer effectiveness. Data were collected from 432 respondents in Poland. Individuals who report high values of vertical individualism and high vertical collectivism believe their individual purchase decisions impact the natural environment, social and community issues and employee welfare. It is the acceptance of responsibility for oneself (vertical individualism) and others (vertical collectivism) that explains why some people believe their consumption choices affect wider societal and environmental issues. Global identity strengthens this for vertical individualists, and local identity strengthens this for vertical collectivists. We provide evidence that the conceptual distinction between horizontal and vertical orientations of individualism and collectivism matters when explaining perceived consumer effectiveness. The study confirms that global and local social identities are meaningful variables in the context of perceived consumer effectiveness. The concept of value congruence explains the hypothesised relations only partially. The study contributes to the literature on consumer behaviour in the context of the post‐transitional economy of Poland.
