“…We also uncovered that perceived knowledge indirectly influences the intention to save water. This corroborates prior research arguing that knowledge influences proenvironmental behaviors (Levine and Strube, 2012;Suryanda et al, 2021). It follows that consumers who are willing to save water are also more eager to implement smart meters that can help them achieve that goal (Sønderlund et al, 2014).…”

“…Past research has established that consumers' knowledge and perceived knowledge are key factors in their decision-making, especially in relation to the environment (Lee et al, 2006). Indeed, knowledge in general determines behavioral intentions (Martono et al, 2019), while environmental knowledge in particular is related to proenvironmental behavior (Levine and Strube, 2012;Suryanda et al, 2021). According to Min-Seong Kim et al (2018), environmental knowledge can be categorized into two parts: real knowledge and perceived knowledge (i.e., someone's feeling of knowing something).…”

Technological progress can contribute to a more conscious and sustainable consumption of water. This is especially important in the context of dwindling resources and climate change. The objective of the study is to investigate how consumers’ perceived knowledge on water usage influences their intention to adopt smart (IoT-based) water meters, which deliver very precise data on the amount of water used in a household. We hypothesized that perceived knowledge on personal water usage exerts a direct and indirect influence on the intention to adopt a smart water meter. For the mediators, we used the intention to save water and variables derived from Value-Belief-Norm theory: awareness of consequences, ascription of responsibility and personal norm. We verified the hypotheses by applying structural equation modelling to a sample of 532 respondents. We found that perceived knowledge on water usage directly influences the intention to adopt a smart water meter, and that all considered variables worked to mediate the relationship between perceived knowledge and intention. Thus, based on our results perceived knowledge plays an important role on the relationship between values-beliefs-norms and intentions to apply smart water meters, which can be used for future research in order to reduce household water consumption by increasing the probability of installing smart water meters.

“…TPB has been used widely to examine green consumer purchase intentions and behaviors (Kashi, 2019;Suryanda et al, 2021;Zhuang et al, 2021). In European Union, the notch of green consumerism TPB was used as their measurement as well in their facilitate policy implementation (Liobikiene et al, 2016).…”

“…Besides, subjective norms is an essential social pressure for behavioural intentions (Ajzen, 2020). Many studies showed that external pressure drives consumers to buy green products and is one of the leading factors that affect the sustainable consumption (Ko et al, 2017;Suryanda et al, 2021;Zhuang et al, 2021). A cross-cultural study showed that subjective norms and interactions of green product knowledge significantly determine the green buying behavior of various countries (Liobikiene et al, 2016).…”

Green consumption has also risen globally to prevent further damages to the environment. Therefore, it is important to understand the intent of consumers to buy environmentally friendly products as the willingness to buy green products will maintain and protect the quality of natural environment, thus contribute to sustainable environmental development. Even though the number of consumers ready to purchase green products has increased in recent years, there is no indication that this trend would increase in Malaysia. As such, to address the limitations and to cope with the green purchase intention issues, this study aims to propose a framework to investigate the relationships between attitudes, subjective norms, perceive behavior control, product knowledge, price and green purchase intention among consumers in Malaysia by application of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model. The modifications to the original TPB structure help to identify potential factors that affect consumers' willingness to purchase green products. This study employed an online survey and collected 216 questionnaires from Malaysian respondents aged 18 years old and above by using a purposive sampling method. Multiple regression analysis was employed for data analysis. The findings indicated that attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and product knowledge have a positive and significant relationship with green purchase intention while price has a negative and significant relationship with green purchase intention. Using the findings of the study, marketers could understand the potential factors that affect consumers' willingness to purchase green products. The findings of the study can be a guideline for future studies to determine the customers' intentions for environmentally friendly products.

This study aims to explore the origin effects of imported fruits, with a particular focus on environmental sustainability. Data were collected in 2021 through in-person surveys administered to primary food shoppers in Taipei. Total valid samples were 199. SAS software was used in analytics in this study. Multivariate analysis was employed to analyze the influences of various origin effects—advertising, environment, technology, pollution, image, and economy—on purchasing decisions. Major findings indicate that production technology has the most substantial positive influence on purchasing decisions, followed by country image and environmental aspects. Kernel density estimation further revealed that perceptions of environmental sustainability are multifaceted, with pollution being a more consistently understood factor compared to the broader environmental impacts. These findings underscore the importance of tailoring marketing strategies and policies to align with consumer perceptions regarding environmental sustainability, fostering trust, and promoting sustainable practices within the fruit import industry. The study provides valuable insights but is limited by its geographic focus on Taipei, the cross-sectional nature of the data, and the specific origin effects examined. Future research should consider broader geographic areas and additional product categories to enhance generalizability.
