Abstract

The current study established a theoretical framework for exploring the influence of the perceived quality of green brands on green word of mouth (WOM) by investigating the mediating effects of satisfaction with and trust in green brands. Although prior research has explored the factors influencing green word of mouth, it has focused on information technology and electronic products. The target of the current research was road race runners in Taiwan. Structural equation modeling was performed to validate the research framework. The findings suggest that satisfaction with and trust in green brands mediate the positive effect of the perceived quality of green brands on green word of mouth. Thus, to enhance runners’ satisfaction with and trust in green brands and promote green WOM, road race organizations should allocate resources to improving the perceived quality of the green branding for their events.
