The Right Shade of Green: the Effect of Sustainability Utility on Consumer Product Evaluations
We demonstrate the effect of perceived sustainability (dis)utility based on consumers’ category-level sustainability expectations, which influence consumer evaluations of brands within the category. Our findings also reveal that these effects arise independent of 1) a consumer’s tendency to self-enhance and 2) perceived consumer effectiveness.
