Investigating Female Shoppers’ Attitude and Purchase Intention toward Green Cosmetics in South Africa
Open accessAbstract
This paper investigates female shoppers’ attitude and purchase intention toward green cosmetics. Underpinned with an extended theory of planned behavior model, the research framework examines consumers’ attitude and purchase intention. In addition, the moderating influence of consumer involvement is tested. Data (n = 408) were collected from South Africa and analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results show that subjective norm has a significant positive impact on the consumers’ purchase intention for green cosmetics. Also, ecological motive and environmental knowledge impact the consumers’ attitude toward green cosmetics. In addition, consumers’ involvement strengthens the positive relationship between attitude and purchase intention. However, the role of perceived behavioral control and health consciousness were non-significant. The findings suggest that practitioners should try to enhance the consumers’ knowledge and involvement about green cosmetics. They should inform and educate the consumers through an integrated marketing communication approach by means of campaigns, advertisements, and public relations. Thus, through relevant environmental information or knowledge, consumers will be more educated aiming to impact positive attitude and purchase intention.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
