However, despite massive actions undertaken by environmentalists and government agencies to promote the adoption of biobased shopping bags, human behavior towards single-use plastic shopping bag consumption continues to persist and unfortunately, is soaring. To address this issue, we propose that consumer personality traits significantly influence this behavior. Therefore, we apply motive disposition theory (MDT) and institutional theory to examine consumers’ motives, specifically focusing on the power motive and the institutions that influence them. By employing an online survey and moderated mediation analysis, a sample of 207 individuals was engaged to investigate the influence of consumers’ power motives on green consumption towards biobased shopping bags. The results indicate that this relationship is contingent upon the mediating role of consumer environmental concern. Additionally, it has been observed that the level of adoption is even stronger when consumers perceive that knowledge supporting environmentally friendly behavior is accessible to them.</p> Radityo Putro Handrito, Pipiet Larasatie, Nanang Suryadi, Aulia Fuad Rahman, Dhina Mustika Sari, Triana Fitriastuti, Dias Satria Copyright (c) 2024 Radityo Putro Handrito, Pipiet Larasatie, Nanang Suryadi, Aulia Fuad Rahman, Dhina Mustika Sari, Triana Fitriastuti, Dias Satria https://biobus.swst.org/index.php/bpbj/article/view/139 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 00:00:00 -0800
