Abstract: The demand for green products is rooted in consumer health and environmental issues and provides an incentive for organisations to produce such products using sustainable methods. Customer responsibilities toward the environment, however, have been very sparingly studied in developing countries like Vietnam. This study extends the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) through the addition of factors of perceived environmental responsibility and health consciousness to the model of theory of planned behaviour. The current study focusses on the mediating effects of attitude and perceived behavioural control within the TPB framework. We collected data using convenient sampling, which yielded 308 original survey responses from Vietnam, and analysed them using PLS-SEM. The results show that: (a) the attitude towards green products positively affects the purchase intention;(b) perceived environmental responsibility and health consciousness positively influence the green attitude and the purchase intention; and (c) perceived behavioural control does not affect the green purchase intention. These insights can help marketers create creative plans to appeal to green product customers.

Keywords: customer’s attitude; health consciousness; perceived environmental responsibility; perceived behaviour control; green purchase intention. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
