Abstract

The main objective of this research is to examine the effect of environmental concern, subjective environmental knowledge towards green purchasing intentions. Also, this study has examined the moderation role of green skepticism towards these relationships. The population of this research is consumers of green purchasing in Saudi Arabia’s manufacturing industry. The quantitative approach using convenience sampling has been used for data collection. The PLS-SEM using SmartPLS 3.2.8 was used. Environmental concern has a significantly positive effect on green purchasing intention while significantly negative effect on subjective environmental knowledge and lastly, subjective environmental knowledge has significantly positive effect on green purchasing intention. Furthermore, green skepticism does not moderate the effect of subjective environmental knowledge on green purchasing intention and the effect of environmental concern on subjective environmental knowledge; however, green skepticism significantly decreases the effect of environmental concern on green purchase intention. The managers are recommended to provide environmental programs towards consumers that can increase their environmental concerns and lead to gaining proper knowledge and awareness.

沙特阿拉伯的绿色采购、环境关注和主观知识:绿色怀疑主义的调节作用

本研究的主要目的是考察环境关注、主观环境知识对绿色购买意愿的影响。此外，本研究还考察了绿色怀疑主义对这些关系的调节作用。本研究的对象是沙特阿拉伯制造业中绿色采购的消费者。数据收集采用了方便抽样的定量方法。使用SmartPLS 3.2.8的PLS-SEM。环境关注对绿色购买意愿有显著的正向影响，对主观环境知识有显著的负向影响，主观环境知识对绿色购买意愿有显著的正向影响。此外，绿色怀疑并不会调节主观环境知识对绿色购买意愿的影响，也不会调节环境关注对主观环境知识的影响;然而，绿色怀疑主义显著降低了环境关注对绿色购买意愿的影响。建议管理人员向消费者提供环境项目，以增加他们对环境的关注，并使他们获得适当的知识和意识。

期刊介绍： Supply chain management (SCM) plays an essential role in managing the movement of raw materials into an organization, certain issues of the internal processing of materials into finished goods, and the movement of finished products out of the organization for end-consumer delivery. The goal of SCM is to improve trust and collaboration among supply chain partners and to improve inventory visibility. However, many SCM problems deal with uncertain events such as uncertainty in demand, supply, quality, price, etc. This forum is dedicated to all scholars who wish to share their ideas about uncertainty in SCM problems. Uncertain supply chain management is a quarterly publication dedicated to all scientists in all over the world who wish to share their experiences and knowledge in this field. Our policy is to perform a peer review on all submitted articles and publishes original and high quality articles.
