| description | It is a global concern that environmental sustainability is in danger. Climate conditions in most
parts of the world cannot sustain agriculture and livestock, while water and energy shortages
remains a huge challenge. While enjoying products and services offered in the market, consumers
should protect their environment and maintain a healthy life style by purchasing green products
which are environmental friendly. Prospective green consumer’s expression of interest in green
products is not converted into actual purchase. The objective of this study is to examine the factors
that influence consumer behavior in the purchase of green products. The study adopted mixed
methods and a sample of 120 respondents was considered. SPSS was used for analysis. Qualitative
data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Statistical significant association was found between
the purchases of green products with the eight main predictors which are; Environmental attitudes,
perceived effectiveness of environmental problems, perceived environmental responsibility, green
products labelling, green product features, green product certification, environmental benefits of
green products, governments concern about the environment. The study found a negative
association between purchase of green products and consumers knowledge about environmental
benefits. By gathering this information, marketers would be able to understand the factors which
influence consumers in the purchase of green products. They would also be able to formulate
various strategies to effectively attract more green consumers to purchase green products as part
solution for environmental protection. The legislators, national policy makers and environmental
activists could utilize this information to promote a positive green consumerism. |
