Abstract

In the current era of globalization, increases in marketing and advertising have enhanced customer knowledge and confidence. This study aims to investigate the effects of altruistic value, subjective knowledge and consumer self-confidence on green purchase attitudes and behaviour utilizing a cross-sectional data collection from hotel customers. First of all, the reliability and validity of the data were ensured, and later structural equational modelling was applied by AMOS. The results highlighted that consumer self-confidence, altruistic value and subjective knowledge have a positive and significant effect on green purchase behaviour and attitudes. The results also revealed that green purchase attitudes significantly mediate the relationships between green purchase behaviour and consumer self-confidence, altruistic value and subject knowledge. The study focused only on customers searching for a hotel and was limited to China. Future studies can use a similar model by focusing on any other country.
