Resumo

Este estudo examina os principais determinantes do comportamento do consumidor verde em relação aos alimentos orgânicos em uma economia emergente, que incorpora os fatores de fatores intrínsecos e extrínsecos em uma estrutura PLS-SEM validada e aceita. Foram obtidos dados quantitativos que consistem em uma pesquisa com 400 entrevistados de cidades e áreas rurais da Índia Central. O modelo avaliou o impacto do valor percebido para a saúde (PHV), do conhecimento do Produto Verde (GPK), da preocupação ambiental (EC), do Prêmio de preço Verde (GPP) e da credibilidade do rótulo ecológico (ELC) na intenção de compra Verde (GPI) e no comportamento de compra Verde (GPB). Os achados demonstraram que PHV e GPK são os preditores mais dominantes de GPI, indicando a superioridade de motivos egocêntricos, como promoção da saúde pessoal e consumismo do consumidor. O EC teve um impacto significativo, mas ligeiramente notável, no GPI, enquanto o GPP e o ELC não impactaram diretamente a intenção. No entanto, o ELC desempenhou um duplo papel; mediou e moderou parcialmente a relação entre ce e GPI, intensificando a intenção quando a credibilidade dos rótulos era vista como alta. O GPI foi um preditor significativo de GPB, como poderia ter sido antecipado; no entanto, é importante ressaltar que o resultado comportamental médio foi menor do que a intenção média, indicando que uma lacuna significativa intenção-comportamento persiste. A análise multigrupo (MGA) provou que os consumidores rurais e urbanos têm um driver psicológico semelhante, com os consumidores rurais exibindo mais sensibilidade ao preço, o que efetivamente explica que o prêmio de preço é uma barreira superior em tais mercados. Este estudo é teoricamente valioso para explicar a dupla natureza dos rótulos ecológicos e apresentar como saúde e conhecimento são mais fundamentais do que indicadores extrínsecos na construção de intenções de compra sustentáveis. Gerencialmente, indica a necessidade de conversas voltadas para a saúde, ensino aos consumidores, rotulagem clara e métodos de precificação baseados em segmentação para promover o uso de alimentos orgânicos e reduzir a discrepância intenção-comportamento em mercados emergentes.
