This study aims to determine the behavior of consumer interest in sustainable fashion products in Indonesia and the factors that influence it. Personal values, Green Trust, and attitude toward green products are studied to get a proper picture of the ethical behavior of consumers. The method used is the Structural Equation Model (SEM) technique using AMOS 23 software. A sample of 103 participants used the convenience sampling technique. The study results show that green trust and attitude toward green products successfully mediate personal value and green purchase intention on ethical fashion products in Indonesia. In this study, it was found that personal values cannot directly influence the purchase intention of sustainable fashion products. The influence of Personal Value must first be mediated by green trust or attitude toward green products to further influence green purchase intention of ethical fashion products in Indonesia. This is not in line with previous studies. Indicators of personal values such as self-transcendence, self-enhancement, conservation, and openness directly cannot predict the behavior of purchase intentions for sustainable fashion products in Indonesia. From the descriptive conclusion of the data obtained, there are various types of meanings of individual values, and fashion consumers in Indonesia are more affected by contextual factors.

The environment friendly lifestyle and the green product trend have motivated corporates to develop and adopt sustainable business practices. However, an increasing number of corporations have engaged in greenwashing practices to create the appearance of environmental responsibility. By employing the theory of reasoned action, the paper investigated a model linking corporate greenwashing and consumers' green purchase intentions with the mediating role of green trust and green word-of-mouth about green electronic devices in Vietnam. Using an online survey via Email, Zalo, and Wechat, data was obtained from 308 Vietnamese consumers who have been purchasing green electronic devices. Based on the responses of the participants from the questionnaires conducted, data analysis was conducted by using SEM in AMOS version 23. This investigation shows that corporate greenwashing negatively affects consumers' green trust, green word-of-mouth, and their green buying intentions. Additionally, the paper verifies that green trust and green word-of-mouth mediate the relationships between greenwashing and consumers' green purchase intentions. These results reinforce the extant understanding of greenwashing and its consequences. Finally, the study not only stimulates future research but serves as a reference for business managers, scholars, and students who are interested on the topic of environmental sustainability, new product development, and green brands.

본 연구는 베트남 소비자의 그린구매행동에 관한 구조적 모형과 구매능력이 가지는 조절효과를 중점적으로 살펴본 연구이다. 베트남의 중산층 인구는 2012년 12백만 명에서 2020년에는 33백만 명으로 증가할 것으로 예상되고 이에 따른 소비패턴 변화가 예상되고 있으며, 최근 산업화와 내구재 소비증가로 인해 환경문제에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다(Koning et al., 2016). 이에 따라 그린 제품구매 관련 문헌고찰을 통해 베트남 소비자들의 그린 구매행동 관련 가설 및 모형을 제시하고 실증 자료를 통해 가설을 검증하였다. 연구모형을 검증하기 전에 측정문항의 신뢰성과 타당성분석을 실시하였으며 연구변수간 선 후행 관계검증을 위해 구조방정식 모형분석을 실시하였고 구매능력의 조절효과검증은 개별모수 차이검증을 통해 실시되었다. 실증분석결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 생태적 관심과 집단주의는 그린구매행동에 관한 태도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 생태적 지식은 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 둘째, 그린구매행동에 대한 태도는 그린구매행동의도에, 그린구매행동의도는 그린구매행동에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 계층적 효과모형과 일관된 결과를 보여주었다. 셋째, 구매능력은 구매의도와 실제 구매행동 간의 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과에 기반하여 이론적, 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.

Purpose - This study aimed at investigating the process of inducing the effect of green self-expressive motive and the fit between green premium and product on consumer's intent to purchase the bundle product with the green premium. Research design, data, and methodology - The questionnaire for on-line survey built at Google Forms was spread out via popular social media sites. 243 responses from the on-line survey were used for testing the hypotheses. Structural equation model of Amos 21.0 was used to verify hypotheses. Results and Conclusions - Green self-expressive motive positively influenced on not only the perceived value for green premium but also attitude toward the bundle. However, the fit between green premium and product had positive impact only on the perceived value for green premium. The perceived value was proved to positively influence on the attitude toward the bundle, which in turn increased the purchase intention, even with the positive effects of the product attitude as covariate on the intention. Therefore, marketers should choose target customers who have high level of green self-expressive motive and feel the fit, and pay attention to the green premium to help the customers perceive more values for the green premium. They should develop green premium product for conducting marketing effectively.

While green packaging related concerns are mainly studied in developed countries, there is a lack of knowledge to observe purchase behavior toward green packaging in developing countries, especially in Vietnam. Buying green packaged products in FMCG is not required to trade-off between sustainability and product performance. Hence, this present research aims to understand the gap attitude - behavior existing on FMCG green packaged products among Vietnamese young consumers with psychosocial factors (environmental concern, environmental knowledge of green packaging and green trust) and contextual factors (availability of desired green packaging and product attributes). With a sample size of 396 respondents, data was collected by convenient sampling method and then was analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results reveal that all psychosocial factors are positive related to attitudes while purchase behavior is positively influenced. The findings also report that contextual factors have positive impacts on purchase behavior, which proves the important role of contextual factors in influencing consumer choices. It suggests that green packaging is receptive to Vietnamese young consumers but it should be considered within product-related context to enhance the difference in sustainability among similar FMCG products. Practical implications for marketers and future researches have also been discussed at the end of study.

본 연구에서는 그린마케팅 활동에 초점을 맞춰 그 중요성을 강조함과 동시에 그린마케팅 활동이 구매의도에 미치는 영향에서 환경관여도의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 이를 검증하기 위해 신에너지 자동차 구매를 경험이 있거나 구매를 고려해본 적이 있는 중국 소비자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 검증한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 그린마케팅 활동의 하위요인인 그린제품, 그린가격, 그린유통, 그린촉진은 모두 환경관여도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미친다는 것이 검증되었다. 둘째, 환경관여도는 구매의도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미친다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 셋째, 그린제품, 그린가격, 그린유통, 그린촉진과 구매의도 간의 관계에서 환경관여도의 매개효과를 검증한 결과 모두 부분적 매개효과를 가진다는 것이 실증되었다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 한계점과 향후의 연구방향에 관하여 논의하였다.
