TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com 3 ABSTRACT Green initiatives are fast becoming a catchphrase among societies and business entities as these entities strive to ensure more sustainable business operations and lifestyle. Research in green behaviours of consumers in Asia, especially in Vietnam is only just emerging. The objective of this study, therefore, is to examine the factors that influence consumers’ green purchase behaviour. The conceptual framework and hypotheses development are grounded on related literature. We examined five independent variables which represent five pertinent dimensions of consumer perceived value and their effects on green purchase behaviour through green purchase attitude. The questionnaire was adapted from validated items from related prior works. The analysis was based on 406 valid responses from consumers of Ho Chi Minh City. The findings reveal that four of the six hypotheses are supported. Particularly, emotional value, epistemic value and conditional value have positive effects on attitude towards green products, which in turn significantly affect green purchase behaviour. Managerial and research implications of the findings are also further discussed. TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com 4 Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction…………………………………………………………………………….

A general picture of the impacts caused need of new and green resources is drawn, and overview of green consumerism and green purchase behaviour is presented to highlight the importance and significance of the study. This first chapter also sets out the research objectives, research questions and briefs some important contents such its methodology, procedures and research contribution.1 Research Background Nowadays, the environment is threatened in a wide variety of ways such as global warming, ozone depletion, shortage of drinking water, loss of biodiversity and land degradation (Hoang & Nguyen, 2012). According to the Nielsen Sustainability report in 2012, in many of the countries with high percentages of coastal borders, the percentage of consumers concerned about climate change almost reaches 100, including Thailand (93%), Indonesia (92%), Vietnam and Philippines (91%). As a result, people are now seeking for new resources, new products that could reduce the pollution (Sheng, 1995). Today, 64 percent of consumers, globally, indicated they believe organic products are good for the environment, including 72% of Asia Pacific respondents think green product are environmentally-friendly (Nielsen, 2013). There are several definitions and classifications of green products (Dangelico and Pontrandolfo, 2010). In particular, The European Communities (2004) defines green TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com 9 products as products that "use less resource, have lower impacts and risks to the environment and prevent waste generation already at the conception stage". In this research, green product is defined as ecological and environmental friendly produced that integrates greener strategies in terms of packaging and lesser use of toxic materials which help reduce natural environment impact (Chen & Chai, 2010). A global consumer report conducted by Nielsen in July 2013 has revealed that Asia-Pacific were the most receptive to making an ecological difference by purchasing ecological-responsible products; Thais, Indonesians, Vietnamese, Filipinos and Chinese are eco-minded and willing to change their lifestyle to save energy and reduce carbon footprint. The Development Committee (2008) revealed that Vietnam is one of the countries hardest hit by climate change and rising sea levels. Therefore, the Vietnamese Government is adamant that socio-economic development must go together with environmental protection (Asia Pulse News, 2009). It is reported by the Ministry of Justice that there are 300 legal documents in the field of environmental protection to regulate the behaviours of individuals, organizations, economic activities, technical procedures and raw material production processing. Yet, there are incomplete, inconsistent and unstable flaws that need amending; however, it states the Government’s effort in making the change (Hoang & Nguyen, 2012). In the Asia Pulse in 2009, Vietnam encourages cooperation from foreign partners to conduct research into the development of green technologies. In addition, the United Nations (2011) denoted that Vietnam has seen rapid urbanization, rising new wealth and higher disposal income TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com 10 population, those are significant advantages together with the perception of green products because more and more consumers seek for higher life quality. From 2010 to 2011, various campaigns had been held to motivate communities to buy and use green products (Saigon Giai Phong Newspaper, 2010). Through this event, consumers can exercise their rights to boycott products from so-called black enterprises, which are enterprises polluting the environment and call on the community and enterprises to perform their role in the development of the national economy while still ensuring sustainable development. Nevertheless, Hoang and Nguyen (2012) also states that compared with other countries in the region, the demand of green product in the Vietnamese market as well as consumer awareness is limited while Vietnamese businesses remain cautious in investment practices and the application of green production. Besides, many consumers admits a personal preference for eco-friendly goods, but large percentages of respondents report setting aside this preference and buying whichever product is cheapest (Nielsen Sustainability Report, 2011). This situation, consequently, requires green enterprises to do deliberately and deeply studies to find out what factors stimulate purchasing and using environmentally friendly products. In order to further understand the consumers’ intention towards purchasing green product, it is helpful to know how they perceive its value offered and their attitudes towards purchasing green products. This way, businesses can enhance their understanding and knowledge of consumer behaviour towards green TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com 11 products, which are critical for planning a long-term strategy to win the Vietnamese market. That is also the motivation for developing this research.2 Research Gap Perceived value is the essential result of marketing activities and is a central element in marketing (Ravald & Gronroos, 1996). Perceived value has demonstrated to be a difficult concept to define and measure (Holbrook, 1999, Woodruff, 1997). In general terms, it can be defined as the customer’s overall assessment of the utility of a product. In other words, it is conceptualized as a trade-off between one give component and one get component (Zeithaml, 1988). Previous research has widely explored perceived value because it has a positive effect on marketing performance; and value creation is widely discussed in the practitioner literature and is often a part of organizations’ mission statements and objectives. Many commentators see it as the key to long-term success, with Albrecht (1992) arguing, “The only thing that matters in the new world of quality is delivering customer value”. When studying perceived value, the most common definition of value is the ratio or trade-off between quality and price (e., Chain Store Age, 1985; Cravens, Holland, Lamb & Moncrieff, 1988; Monroe, 1990), which is a value-for-money conceptualization. However, other authors have also suggested that viewing value, as trade-off between only TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com 12 quality and price is too simplistic (Bolton & Drew, 1991). Porter (1990), for example, talks about providing superior value to the buyer in terms of product quality, special features, or after-sale service. These views suggest that existing value constructs are too narrow and that dimensions other than price and quality would increase the construct’s usefulness. Consequently, Sheth et al. (1991) contributes a more sophisticated measure that enables marketers to get more insight of how consumers value products and services. The value framework discussed by them incorporates five pertinent dimensions of customer consumption value: functional, emotional, social, conditional, and epistemic. In the literature, a number of studies has discussed about the relationship between values and attitude, for example, in social commerce (Kim, Sun & Kim, 2013), in consumption of green energy brands (Hartmann and Apaolaza-Ibáñez, 2012); or about the values-behaviour gap, in spa hotel services purchasing (Lu & Shiu, 2011), in online shopping (Lu & Tan, 2013). Moreover, Lin and Huang (2011) have conducted a study regarding the relationship between perceived value and consumer choice behaviour towards green products. However, the intensive literature review indicates that there is a lack of research on the relationship of value – attitude – behaviour towards green purchasing. Hence, this paper will fill this gap by adopting the Value – Attitude – Behaviour Hierarchy (Homer and Kahler, 1988) and the theory of consumption values (Sheth et al. Additionally, according to Hoang and Nguyen (2012), there is the lack of studies in terms of green products in Vietnam. The reason for that scarcity is that green products TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com 13 just have got the concerns of Vietnamese people in recent years. There are very few studies, for example, the research of Hoang and Nguyen (2012) about environmental awareness and green purchase attitude; or about market demand, green production innovation and firm performance in Vietnam motorcycle industry (Lin, Tan & Geng, 2013). These studies, however, focus on other aspects of green products, Thus, in order to fulfill such gap, this study aims to investigate whether consumer perceived values influence on consumer’s attitude and behaviour towards purchasing green products in the context of Vietnam.3 Research Objectives The overall objective of this study is to examine some factors influencing the behaviour of purchasing green products. Specifically, it investigates: • The relationship between attitude towards purchasing green products and the behaviour of purchasing these products. • The relationship between functional/social/emotional/conditional/epistemic value and attitude towards purchasing green products.4 Research Methodology and Research Scope This study uses questionnaire to collect data. The survey questionnaire is originally developed in English and then translated into Vietnamese. In-depth interviews are then conducted with five people in order to modify the Vietnamese version of the questionnaire before the survey is implemented in mass. The next step is analyzing the TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com 14 collected data.
