摘要

尽管情感变量在塑造个体消费行为中具有重要意义,但在可持续消费行为的各个方面,自然热爱仍然需要得到解决。本研究从热爱自然的维度出发,探讨热爱自然、亲近自然和承诺自然对幸福感的影响。此外,本研究旨在将心理距离的解释水平作为被测变量之间的调节变量,以增加更深入的理解。设计/方法/方法使用滚雪球抽样法和十次规则技术从埃及的311个人样本中收集数据。采用偏最小二乘-结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)对数据进行分析。研究发现,热爱自然和亲近自然对绿色采购、再利用和再循环有显著的正向影响。另一方面,对自然的承诺对绿色购买和可重复使用都有显著的积极影响。此外,高PD在被测关系之间起到调节作用。这些发现已经在理论和实践意义方面进行了讨论。据作者所知,这是第一个将PD作为被测关系之间的调节因素的研究。此外,本文是第一个在发展中经济体中调查这些关系的实证研究。

Nature-love and sustainable consumption behaviors: does the construal level of psychological distance matter?
Purpose Despite the importance of emotional variables in shaping individuals' consumption behavior, nature-love still needs to be addressed concerning various aspects of sustainable consumption behavior (SCB). Considering the dimensions of nature-love, this study aims to investigate the effect of passion-for-nature, intimacy-with-nature and commitment-to-nature on SCB. Furthermore, this study aims to incorporate the construal levels of psychological distance (PD) as a moderating variable between the tested variables to add a more in-depth understanding. Design/methodology/approach Data was collected from a sample of 311 individuals from Egypt using the snowball sampling method and the ten-time rule technique. The data was analyzed using partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Findings The findings indicate that passion-for-nature and intimacy-with-nature have a significant positive effect on green purchasing, reusability and recycling. On the other hand, commitment-to-nature has a significant positive effect on both green purchasing and reusability. Additionally, a high PD acts as a moderator between the relationships tested. The findings have been discussed in terms of their theoretical and practical implications. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to integrate PD as a moderator between the relationships tested. Additionally, this paper is the first empirical research investigating these relationships in developing economies.
