A Cross-Country Investigation of Organic Consumption Behavior: a Social Identification Perspective
This study investigates organic consumption as an identity-driven behavior. We find that organic consumer identification is driven by identification with a higher-order consumer identity, environmentally conscious consumer, as well as beliefs related to organic products (i.e., organic product familiarity and organic product trustworthiness) and social norms of organic consumption.
