The Model of Green Behavioural Intention Among Women Entrepreneur: A Quantitative Study

Abstract

Today, business activities seem to have shifted towards green business with the inception of women entrepreneurs who are more environmentally conscious. This study aims to examine the behaviour construction of women entrepreneurs' intention towards green business in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 122 women entrepreneurs using simple random sampling, which were then processed by PLS-SEM. This study found that green behavioural intention among women entrepreneurs in Indonesia reflects their environmental concern with a strong solid vision to create the change. The argument that market rationality will mediate green business behaviour and predicted as a barrier factor to their intention of having business with environmental concerns was not proven. This study argues that women entrepreneurs with green business initiatives in Indonesia belong to the visionary champion type, an entrepreneur who takes themselves as agents of change. Increasing the number of women entrepreneurs with green business initiation in Indonesia will favour Indonesia's future economy and sustainability. The nurture of women's role in spreading knowledge allows them to create their market by educating the market with their green image and offering alternatives. The government needs to pay strict attention and formulate policies on encouraging women entrepreneurs in Indonesia, particularly those starting their business with environmental consciousness.

The Effect of Entrepreneurial Factors on the Realization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and Sustainability in Indonesia’s SMEs

“…The research uses PLS-SEM to analyze the data because, in the fields of management science and behavioral research, this software has been used as a resolution method (Shahzad, Qu, Zafar, Rehman, & Islam, 2020). PLS-SEM can also examine the correlation between constructs in interrelated dependency relationships and between constructs and their variance-based measures (Awallia & Famiola, 2021). The research framework in Figure 1 is generated from a literature review and tested in two stages.…”

“…This is very potential because passive criteria are people who do not tend to become promoters or detractors. Green behavioral intentions are driven by environmental concern with a solid vision to create the change (Awallia and Famiola, 2021).…”
