Abstract

Purpose

The issue of excessive carbon emissions continues to be a critical global challenge. As a prominent mode of transportation for long-distance travel, aircraft is widely acknowledged as a significant source of these emissions. Carbon offset initiatives function as ecological measures, helping to reduce the negative environmental impact. This study aims to explore how benefit appeals (BA) within the aviation industry impact tourists’ carbon offset payment intentions (COPIt).

Design/methodology/approach

In Studies 1 and 2, scenario-based experiments were conducted to explore how goal framing (GF) and (BA) interact to influence COPIt. Study 2 further investigated the mediating roles of moral responsibility and trust in airlines within this interaction. Study 3 used real-world surveys to examine the moderating influence of moral elevation, thereby supporting the interactive effects and mediation mechanisms identified in the earlier studies.

Findings

Across three studies, the authors consistently identified pivotal factors shaping COPIt in the context of air travel. Study 1 revealed that the combination of BA and GF significantly impacts COPIt, with egoistic appeals linked to loss framing and altruistic appeals connected to gain framing being particularly effective in encouraging COPIt. Study 2 extended these insights by showing that moral responsibility and trust in airlines serve as mediators between BA, GF and COPIt. In Study 3, moral elevation was found to moderate the influence of BA and GF on both moral responsibility and COPIt, deepening the understanding of these dynamics.

Originality/value

This study expands the range of factors affecting COPIt and delves into the underlying mechanisms through which BA and GF shape COPIt. Additionally, it advances current understanding by revealing the intricate processes influenced by moral elevation. The findings not only contribute to the existing knowledge on COPIt determinants but also offer practical guidance for the aviation industry and related sectors in promoting tourists’ participation in carbon offset programs.

研究目的

本研究探讨航空业中不同利益诉求(利他 vs. 利己)和目标框架(收益 vs. 损失)如何影响游客的碳补偿支付意向, 以应对航空业作为主要碳排放源的环境挑战。

设计/方法

通过三项实验分析利益诉求与目标框架对碳补偿支付意向的影响, 前两项研究探讨利益诉求与目标框架的交互作用以及道德责任感和信任的中介作用, 第三项在机场调研中考察道德提升感的调节作用。

发现

结果显示, 利他诉求与收益框架、利己诉求与损失框架的匹配显著提高游客的支付意向, 道德责任感和信任为中介, 且道德提升感调节了这一影响。

原创性/价值

本研究丰富了碳补偿支付意向的理论, 揭示利益诉求与目标框架的交互作用机制, 并为航空业提供了有效推动碳补偿项目的实践建议。

Objetivo del studio

Este estudio analiza cómo los intereses (altruismo vs. egoísmo) y el marco objetivo (ganancia vs. pérdida) influyen en la intención de pago de compensación de carbono de los turistas en la industria aérea.

Diseño/método

Se emplearon métodos experimentales en dos estudios iniciales para explorar la interacción entre intereses y marco objetivo, y el papel mediador de la responsabilidad moral y la confianza en la aerolínea. Un tercer estudio en un aeropuerto evaluó el efecto moderador de la elevación moral.

Resultados

Los intereses y el marco objetivo influyen conjuntamente en la intención de pago de compensación de carbono. La combinación de altruismo con un marco de ganancia y egoísmo con un marco de pérdida aumenta esta intención. La responsabilidad moral y la confianza en la aerolínea median estos efectos, mientras que la elevación moral modera su impacto.

Originalidad/valor

Este estudio amplía la investigación sobre la compensación de carbono, revelando cómo la interacción entre intereses y marco objetivo afecta la intención de pago, ofreciendo recomendaciones prácticas para la industria aérea.

航空业的碳补偿支付意向:利他主义与利己主义和航空公司的可持续发展
目的过度碳排放问题仍然是一个严峻的全球性挑战。作为长途旅行的主要交通方式,飞机被公认为是碳排放的重要来源。碳补偿倡议作为一种生态措施,有助于减少对环境的负面影响。本研究旨在探讨航空业的利益诉求(BA)如何影响游客的碳补偿支付意愿(COPIt)。设计/方法/途径在研究 1 和研究 2 中,我们进行了基于情景的实验,以探讨目标框架(GF)和利益诉求(BA)如何相互影响 COPIt。研究 2 进一步调查了道德责任和对航空公司的信任在这种互动中的中介作用。研究 3 使用真实世界调查来考察道德提升的调节作用,从而支持前面研究中确定的互动效应和中介机制。研究结果在三项研究中,作者一致确定了在航空旅行中影响 COPIt 的关键因素。研究 1 揭示了 BA 和 GF 的组合对 COPIt 的显著影响,其中与损失框架相关的利己主义诉求和与收益框架相关的利他主义诉求在鼓励 COPIt 方面尤为有效。研究 2 扩展了这些见解,表明道德责任和对航空公司的信任是 BA、GF 和 COPIt 之间的中介。在研究 3 中,人们发现道德高尚感会缓和 BA 和 GF 对道德责任和 COPIt 的影响,从而加深了人们对这些动态因素的理解。此外,它还揭示了受道德提升影响的错综复杂的过程,从而推进了当前的认识。研究目的本研究探讨了航空业中的碳抵消项目。研究目的本研究探讨航空业中不同利益诉求(利他 vs. 利己)和目标框架(收益 vs. 损失)如何影响游客的碳补偿。损失)如何影响游客的碳补偿支付意向, 以应对航空业作为主要碳排放源的环境挑战。设计/方法通过三项实验分析利益诉求与目标框架对碳补偿支付意向的影响, 前两项研究探讨利益诉求与目标框架的交互作用以及道德责任感和信任的中介作用, 第三项在机场调研中道德考察提升感的调节作用。发现结果显示、利他诉求与收益框架、利己诉求与损失框架的匹配显著提高游客的支付意向、道德责任感和信任为中介、 且道德提升感调节了这一影响。原创性/价值本研究丰富了碳补偿支付意向的理论、揭示利益诉求与目标框架的交互作用机制, 并为航空业提供了有效推动碳补偿项目的实践建议。Diseño/métodoSe emplearon métodos experimentales en dos estudios iniciales para explorar la interacción entre intereses y marco objetivo, y el papel mediador de la responsabilidad moral y la confianza en la aerolínea.Un tercer estudio en un aeropuerto evaluó el efecto moderador de la elevación moral.ResultadosLos intereses y el marco objetivo influyen conjuntamente en la intención de pago de compensación de carbono.利他主义和利己主义的结合增强了这种意图。La responsabilidad moral y la confianza en la aerolínea median estos efectos, mientras que la elevación moral modera su impacto.Originalidad/valorEste estudio amplía la investigación sobre la compensación de carbono, revelando cómo la interacción entre intereses y marco objetivo afecta la intención de pago, ofreciendo recomendaciones prácticas para la industria aérea.
