Sustainability Marketing Strategies: How Self-Efficacy and Controllability Can Stimulate Pro-Environmental Behaviors For Individuals
The authors investigate what motivates consumers to express sustainable goals. The results demonstrate that pro-environmental attitude directly impacted such low-cost behaviors as turning off lights. However, the authors find that perceived social support, self-identity and perceptions of control positively influence more difficult behaviors, such as buying products with less packaging.
