The Influence of Subjective Norms and Religiosity on the Purchase Intention of Halal Products with the Mediator Variable of Consumer Attitudes

“…Subjective norms are a person's thoughts about doing or not doing an action influenced by the surrounding environment, such as family, friends, and coworkers [18]. A subjective norm is a person's normative belief obtained from the influence of others and can influence consumer attitudes [3].…”

“…In addition, according to Wiganda & Barqiah [16], religiosity is a term that describes a person's commitment to faith. Religiosity is essential when determining attitudes and purchase intentions for halal or non-halal products [18]. Muslim consumers in Indonesia will prefer the skincare products that have a halal identity on product packaging [19].…”

“…Religiosity can be measured by whether a consumer likes it or not [5]. Religiosity is an essential factor when deciding whether to buy halal or non-halal products [18]. Halal is part of a vital product identity for Muslims because the product can be considered safe for consumption when the halal identity is listed on the product packaging [2].…”

“…Subjective norms are related to someone who will behave because they believe in the truth conveyed by others [3,18]. Therefore, subjective norms can influence consumer purchase intentions [15].…”
