The Impact Mechanism of Government Environmental Regulation and Green Consumer Orientation (GCO) on Green Purchase Intention: A Case Study of Zespri

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study explores the impact mechanism of government environmental regulation on consumers’ green purchase intention through green consumer orientation (GCO) using Zespri as a case study. By integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Value–Belief–Norm (VBN) theory, a comprehensive framework was developed. A total of 857 valid questionnaires were collected, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied for empirical analysis. The results indicate that government environmental regulation significantly enhances the three dimensions of GCO (identification, equilibrium, and interaction) and positively influences green purchase intention. Policy recommendations are proposed, including improving green certification systems and encouraging enterprises to adopt green marketing strategies. The findings provide theoretical and practical implications for policymakers and companies aiming to promote sustainable consumption and green supply chains.
