Abstract

The world has progressed economically in leaps and bounds but sadly at the cost of our environment. Green Consumer Behaviour has become the need of the hour in recent years with the rapid degradation of the environment. This study focuses on green apparel and aims to examine if there is a relationship between i) Personal Norm and Green Purchase Behaviour, ii) Peer Influence and Green Purchase Behaviour iii) Perceived Benefits and Green Purchase Behaviour and iv) to examine if attitude mediates the relationship between Personal Norm and Green Purchase Behaviour. Valueattitude-behaviour hierarchy theory (VABH) has been used. The method used for analyses is the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique using AMOS 22 software. A sample of 146 consumers was used and the convenience sampling technique was followed. The results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between i) Personal Norm and Green Purchase Behaviour, ii) Peer Influence and Green Purchase Behaviour iii) Perceived Benefits and Green Purchase Behaviour and iv) attitude mediates the relationship between Personal Norm and Green Purchase Behaviour. The findings are valuable to green apparel product manufacturers, policymakers, parents, school management and the community at large.
