TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a framework integrating the so far incoherent frameworks as proposed by previous authors, in which environmental and green marketing topics are the central topics, which are closely related to biodiversity and sustainability.Abstract:
In this modern era of societal marketing business ethics and social responsibility are becoming the guiding themes for marketing strategies and practices. Within the field of ethics and social responsibility environmental and green marketing topics are the central topics, which are closely related to biodiversity and sustainability. This paper suggests a different approach to assessing the variables of consumers’ green purchasing behavior. Based on thoroughly researched secondary data, this conceptual paper suggests a framework integrating the so far incoherent frameworks as proposed by previous authors. Emanating from this eclectic and chronological literature review, the paper will also propose further missing links that need to be included in the proposed integrated framework. Based on this holistic framework, in a future study, the authors will explain a sustainability index of green consumer behavior, which will be tested empirically in the study. In fact, from the proposed integrated framework, in total eight vital factors/aspects of green/environmental issues are likely to have an impact on consumer green purchasing behavior. Demographic variables will play an intervening or mediating role in the framework.read more

Why determinants of green purchase cannot be treated equally? The case of green cosmetics: Literature review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of 80 papers published from 2011 to 2017 on green purchase behavior revealed that most of the studies were conducted during the last three years, and the review showed that authors obtained different results of the analysis of the green products in general (including all green products) purchase behavior.

Assessment of the public acceptance and utilization of renewable energy in Pakistan
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the factors influencing consumer intention to utilize renewable energy (RE) by expanding the structural context of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by integrating three new considerations (the perception of self-effectiveness, beliefs about the benefits of RE, and perception about neighbor participation).

Purchasing green to become greener: Factors influence consumers' green purchasing behavior

Environmental attitudes, motivations, and contingent valuation of nonuse values: a case study involving endangered species
TL;DR: This paper explored relationships among environmental attitudes, nonuse values for endangered species, and underlying motivations for contingent valuation (CV) responses and found that those with stronger pro-environmental attitudes were more likely to provide legitimate yes/no responses, while those with weaker attitudes were less likely to protest hypothetical CV scenarios.

The recycling of solid wastes: Personal values, value orientations, and attitudes about recycling as antecedents of recycling behavior
John A. McCarty,L. J. Shrum +1 more
TL;DR: Using a structural modeling framework, the authors investigated the relationship of personal values, value orientations, and attitudes about recycling with the frequency of recycling behaviors and found that attitudes about the inconvenience of recycling had a negative relationship with recycling behaviors.

Personality variables and environmental attitudes as predictors of ecologically responsible consumption patterns
TL;DR: In this article, a casual model of ecologically concerned consumers is analyzed by the LISREL approach to predict five different patterns of environmentally responsible consumption, and the results suggest that each behavioral pattern has its own cluster of predictors.
