https://doi.org/10.54099/ijibr.v4i1.1189Keywords:
Originality and Contribution: This study introduces a novel approach by integrating Green Trust as a mediating variable in the context of green electronic product purchase intention. The focus on Indonesia, a developing market, adds contextual uniqueness to the existing literature. Theoretical Implications: The study extends the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by incorporating Green Trust as a mediator, which offers a more comprehensive understanding of the cognitive and affective factors that influence green purchase intention. Methodological Rigor: The use of Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) enhances the robustness and reliability of the findings. Practical Implications: The findings offer actionable insights for policymakers, marketers, and manufacturers of electronic products to develop strategies that enhance consumers' green awareness, perceived value, and environmental knowledge. Policy Relevance: The results provide valuable input for government initiatives and corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies aimed at promoting green consumption behavior in Indonesia., Keywords Green perceived value, Green awareness, Environmental knowledge, Green trust, Green purchase intentionAbstract
Purpose – This study aims to test and analyze the influence of green perceived value, green awareness, and environmental knowledge on green electronics purchase intention, both directly and through the mediation of green trust.
Methodology/approach – A survey that included information on green purchase intention was used to collect data from 200 purchasers and potential purchasers of electronic product in urban cities of Java Island, and a Structural Equation Model (SEM) test was conducted using Smart PLS software.
Findings – It was found that green perceived value, green awareness, environmental knowledge, and green trust have a positive and significant influence on green electronic purchase intention. And on the other hand, green trust also has a positive and significant influence in mediating the relationship between green preceived value, green awareness, and environmental knowledge and green electronic purchase intention.
Novelty/value – The novelty of this research lies in the integration of the role of Green Trust as a mediator, focusing on the context of the green electronic market in Indonesia, and the use of a comprehensive PLS-SEM analysis method.
