摘要

This study investigates how altruistic, collectivistic, and biospheric values influence Saudi consumers' environmental concern and, subsequently, their attitudes, norms, and perceived control toward purchasing remanufactured products. Drawing on the Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) Theory, the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and the Attitude-Behavior-Context (ABC) Theory, the study employs a survey of 383 respondents analyzed using PLS-SEM. Results confirm that all three value orientations significantly enhance environmental concern (βs>0.30, p<0.001), which in turn strongly predicts environmental attitudes (β=0.658), subjective norms (β=0.657), and perceived behavioral control (β=0.707). Environmental concern mediates the effects of values on psychological drivers, while ease of purchase moderates the link between attitudes and intention (β=0.066), and inversely moderates perceived control (β=–0.105). These findings extend behavioral theories by incorporating cultural and contextual variables and offer actionable insights for promoting sustainable consumption through value-based and structural interventions aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
