How green intrinsic and extrinsic motivations interact, balance and imbalance with each other to trigger green purchase intention and behavior: A polynomial regression with response surface analysis.

ABSTRACT: This research aims to examine how green extrinsic and intrinsic motivations individually and jointly affect green purchase intention and actual behavior, drawing on the integration of self-determination theory and the theory of planned behavior. Based upon a sample of 4062 consumers in Vietnam, we methodologically adopted a polynomial regression with response surface analysis to shed the light on how a higher degree of eco-friendly consumption intention and behavior is synthesized from the balance between high green extrinsic and intrinsic motivations. Conversely, a large imbalance between green extrinsic and intrinsic motivations will lower the level of environmentally friendly consumption. Additionally, this study indicates that green purchase intention is the most important predictor of
