“…Consciousness also acknowledged as basic knowledge forms part of personal (cognitive) determinants and is a pre-condition for behaviour change [38,107,112,113]. The cognitive dimension includes the individual's level of information and knowledge about environmental problems [113,114]. Consequently, EC is necessary to change behaviour to more sustainable practices because it allegedly activates personal norms, guiding behaviour that reflects pro-environmental values and beliefs [113,115].…”

“…The cognitive dimension includes the individual's level of information and knowledge about environmental problems [113,114]. Consequently, EC is necessary to change behaviour to more sustainable practices because it allegedly activates personal norms, guiding behaviour that reflects pro-environmental values and beliefs [113,115]. In the context of this review, we define consciousness as an environmental concern and frame EC as a multidimensional, behaviour-oriented concept [115], equivalent to the mental and emotional dimension of GCB.…”

“…Moreover, the mere availability of information and awareness about the realm of environmental issues may not necessarily guarantee personal motivation and goal-setting to engage in GCBs, as has transpired in study six [94,116]. Thus, scrutinizing other unique personal determinants, such as personality and self-efficacy, is essential [113].…”

“…As an aspect of SCT, self-efficacy implies one's personal perceived judgement or selfbelief of one's ability and probability of successfully practising or controlling a particular behaviour [71,122]. Therefore, self-efficacy indicates the degree to which individuals believe they can initiate motivation, thought, and action to perform specific actions [107] effectively and is thus seen as a predictor for GCB [21,113]. All six main studies included in the integrative review placed a weighted value on self-efficacy.…”

Transcending Linearity in Understanding Green Consumer Behaviour: A Social–Cognitive Framework for Behaviour Changes in an Emerging Economy Context

Awareness and understanding of green consumer behaviour (GCB) in emerging economies can increase consumer participation in green initiatives, leading to better product and behavioural choices and protecting scarce resources. Therefore, consumers should actively change their daily habits, lifestyle, and behaviour choices. A transdisciplinary critical realism approach can complement current knowledge on green consumer behaviour theories, which can layer behaviour change as a circular feedback process. Our approach could surpass linearity and rational decision-making—embracing the power of sustainable daily habits. We reviewed green consumer behaviour theories and identified the social cognitive theory (SCT) to support our approach. Hence, we employed an integrative review of applied SCT and green consumer behaviour. Findings suggest GCB as a reciprocal process with behaviour not only the outcome but an integral part of the process, as are personal and external determinants, existing in laminated layers of meaning that transcend the obvious. Finally, we propose a novel adapted framework that considers critical constructs that warrant investigation of an emerging economy context to identify consumers’ challenges that impede behavioural change. Recommendations include segmenting consumers through pro-environmental self-identity, consumer personalities, and daily habits, which can help target consumers with appropriate messages and interventions to encourage greener lifestyles.

Purpose: This research attempts to explore the determinants of eco-labeled product buying behavior by extending the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Theoretical framework: To build a comprehensive predicting model, environmental knowledge, perceived value, environmental concern, product knowledge, self-efficacy, consumer guilt, and eco-labeling are added to the traditional TPB. Method: The proposed conceptual model was tested by conducting a questionnaire survey on consumers in an emerging economy. The partial least square-based structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Results and conclusion: The results showed that product knowledge moderates the relationship between subjective norms and eco-labeled product buying intention. The results also reveal that attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norm mediate the association between environmental concern and eco-labeled product buying intention. In addition to TPB constructs, consumer guilt, eco-labeling, perceived value, self-efficacy, and environmental knowledge significantly affect buying intention. Originality/value: The current research addresses the research gap by empirically examining the in-depth effects, and the underlying mechanism of eco-label informed green purchase and its acceptance in Malaysian perspectives.
