The Impact of IoT Characteristics, Cultural Factors and Safety Concerns on Consumer Purchase Intention of Green Electronic Products

This study examines the impact of IoT characteristics, key cultural dimensions, and safety concerns on consumer green purchase intentions. The research employed a survey approach, collecting responses from 278 consumers. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. The finding of the study indicates that IoT characteristics (IoTC), environmental concerns (EC), collectivism (GW), and individualism (ID) have a positive effect with attitude toward green purchasing (AGP), which further affect green purchase intentions (GPI). Attitude toward green purchasing (AGP) mediates the relationship between IoTC, safety concerns (SC), collectivism (GW), individualism (ID), and green purchase intentions (GPI). The study's findings help us understand how IoTC, social concerns, and cultural factors affect consumer green purchase intention.
