摘要
Green consumer behavior can induce industries to develop green production methods and convert wasteful patterns of consumption into green consumption patterns. This study demonstrates that the practice of green consumption relies on the self-sanction concept in individuals. The objective of this study was to develop a research model of green consumer behavior based on social cognitive theory. The results show that personal self-concepts (the most significant of which is green consumption self-efficacy), personal outcome expectation and social sanction all have a significant influence. On the other hand, the influences of the expected outcome of green consumer behavior, climate change and the mass media were not significant.
