The awareness of environmentally friendly products: The impact of green advertising and green brand image

This study examines the mediating roles of corporate social responsibility on the links between green marketing awareness and consumer purchase intentions. Data was analyzed using the partial least squares (PLS) approach for the analysis of structural equation models with SmartPLS computer program version 2.0. PLS results revealed that corporate social responsibility partially mediated the link between green marketing awareness and purchase intentions of the product. Consumers develop positive green marketing awareness based on the growing environmental knowledge. They were aware of the green marketing program of the retail store when they noticed that the store allocated specified space to sell eco-friendly products. Furthermore, the companies make their green marketing activities known to the publics by distributing eco-friendly fliers which helps to increase sales revenue, raise consumer awareness, and develop greater intention to purchase the products. The outcomes of the mediating effects of this study add a new momentum to the growing literature and preceding discoveries on consumer green marketing awareness, which is inadequately researched in the Malaysian setting.

Impacts of Corporate Social Responsibility on the Links between Green Marketing Awareness and Consumer Purchase Intentions

The number of household indebtedness in Malaysia is much higher than that of other countries with comparable per capita income. A study was conducted to analyze households’ attitudes towards debt and its relation with household indebtedness. Using the Klang Valley population as the sample, and a binary logit regression analysis, the study found that attitudes play a role in determining a household indebtedness. However, data from the factors attitude formation suggest that variables such as religion, ethnicity, and social norms were influential in determining households’ attitudes towards debt. The study suggests those positive households’ attitudes towards debt and indebtedness can be enhanced through education intervention. A proper knowledge about debt may minimize household’s problem related to excessive indebtedness, which are crucial for the maintenance of their well-being.

Urban Household Credit Card Debt Behaviour in East Malaysia: A Conceptual Framework

This study examines the effects of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control and taqwa on compliance intention to pay zakat on salary in East Malaysia. A deductive approach is employed to examine young public servants' compliance intention to contribute to zakat payment on their salary. The model is tested using survey data from 202 respondents in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, East Malaysia. The results obtained indicate that attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control are significantly related to the compliance intention. Besides these factors, taqwa is also significant. Besides, the post hoc analysis indicates that attitude can play a role as a mediating variable for the relationship between taqwa and compliance intention.  This study improves the generalisation of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to include zakat payment, where Islamic altruism is brought into play. Our findings are of the essence to provide valuable insights for zakat authority to manage zakat payers effectively by considering new millenials as new zakat payers' base and patronage factors as captured in this study
