“…Further, studies showed that environmental concern drives the desire to seek environmental knowledge of issues and procedures (Okumus et al, 2019; Rusyani et al, 2021). When people get worried about the situation of the environment and want to contribute to the solution, they will seek out the knowledge in ensuring that they can effectively contribute to environmental sustainability.…”

Academic employees' green behaviour as praxis for bolstering environmental sustainable development: A linear moderated mediation evaluation

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

There have been calls for organisational employees across developed and emerging economies to be more responsible towards the environment because of the heightened level of devastation in the ecosystem due to human actions. This study examines the influence of environmental concern on employee green behaviour (EGB) through the mediation of attitude, perceived behavioural control (PBC), and environmental knowledge. SmartPLS 3 software was used to analyse the relationships from 425 valid responses. The findings of our study show that environmental concern, attitude, and PBC positively predict the EGB of academics. Attitude and PBC act as complimentary mediators of the relationship between environmental concern and EGB. Equally, a linear moderated mediation analysis shows that environmental concern amplifies the link between PBC and EGB. Furthermore, an importance‐performance map analysis (IPMA) provides evidence that suggests that though employees' attitude is a less important predictor of EGB when compared with environmental concern, their respective degree of performance is equal to each other. Furthermore, this study offers substantive insights into the multiple roles of environmental concern in influencing employee green behaviour among academics in higher education institutions (HEIs). Policy implications and future research directions for environmental sustainability are discussed.

“…However, it is critical to emphasize that environmental knowledge was positively associated with customers' environmental attitudes (Anbukarasi & Dheivanai, 2017). The better-informed visitors were about an environmental issue, the more their attitudes shifted toward environmental consciousness, which directly affects their willingness to purchase eco-friendly items and engage in green purchasing behavior (Rusyani et al, 2021).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of visitors' environmental knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of the marketing mix on their intentions to purchase environmentally friendly sunscreen products. This research was conducted in Phuket, a prominent international destination whose tourism resources, notably its marine ecosystem, are under severe pressure as a result of the over tourism dilemma. The sample size was determined using a convenience sample of 400 visitors. A closed-ended structure questionnaire was used to collect prerequisite data. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the sample's characteristics, as well as their knowledge and attitude toward environmentally friendly sunscreen products, while multiple regression analysis was used to verify the factors influencing visitors' intention to purchase the products. The findings revealed that despite tourists' inadequate knowledge about environmentally friendly sunscreen products, their attitudes toward such items were favorable. The regression analysis revealed that attitude, price, and place all played a significant role in predicting purchasing intention. The study concluded that a strategy should be devised to enhance environmental knowledge and awareness, while emphasizing price and distribution strategies that make tourist consumption more affordable and accessible, thereby directly contributing to the alleviation of marine life concerns.

“…However, although aspects such as “healthiness” and “environmental friendliness” are attributes that are considered by consumers at the time of purchase, they may not automatically be reflected into their concrete action [ 23 ]. Indeed, understanding consumers’ behavior is a necessary prerequisite for effective marketing [ 24 ]. Therefore, companies could help people make healthy and environmentally friendly choices by communicating these issues more effectively and truthfully through packaging design, packaging images and labels.…”

Packaging is a leading factor determining the total environmental effect of food products. This study investigated consumers’ awareness, behavior and expectations in relation to the environmental sustainability aspects of food packaging. Using an online survey, responses from 646 participants were collected. The effect of socio-demographic characteristics on all variable responses was explored by ANOVA models and t-tests. Participants were segmented according to a visual approach based on a principal component analysis applied on the consumers’ behavioral data. Gender, age, and education level affected consumer awareness, behavior and expectations differently. Four groups of consumers were distinguished on the grounds of their behavior in relation to food packaging: (1) More sustainable—packaging-role-oriented; (2) More sustainable—packaging minimizers; (3) Less sustainable; and (4) Medium sustainable. The most sustainable groups were mainly composed of females, while less sustainable consumers were mainly the youngest. The four groups differed in terms of expectations for sustainability-related information that can be communicated through food labels. In conclusion, this work provided new knowledge that is useful to understand the factors that influence consumer behavior and to promote the consumers’ packaging-related sustainability choices through food packaging.
