Abstract: Given the increased interest in cause-related marketing (CRM) in the marketing arena, this study demonstrated the importance of personal factors affecting CRM practice with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as a theoretical background. This study employed personal life values as an indicator of attitudes, social norms, and perceived consumer effectiveness in order to investigate more specific consumer characteristics in a cause-related marketing context. Findings show that consumers who values universalism and benevolence have more positive attitudes toward the CRM campaign, more strong subjective norm, and perceived consumer effectiveness. The results from this empirical study imply that consumers' personal life values have direct and indirect effects on the expended TPB model in the context of cause-related marketing. The findings from this study add to the body of knowledge about cause-related marketing in the field of advertising and marketing studies.
