Abstract

This paper investigates Generation Z consumers perspective on the functional value related to their green purchase intentions and decisions, with a particular emphasis on the moderating role of green value in green product purchases. While prior studies have explored functional and green values independently, this research addresses a critical gap by examining how green value moderates the relationship between functional value and green purchasing behavior, offering new insights into sustainable consumption. The study explores how factors such as quality, usability, price, and other indicators of the usefulness of green products influence consumer purchasing behavior and purchase intentions. The research focuses on IKEA customers from the Jabodetabek area (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi) and Bandung, gathering data from 580 respondents, which was analyzed using SmartPLS. The findings reveal that functional value directly influences both purchasing intentions and decisions to buy green products. Additionally, the study highlights that green value significantly moderates the relationship between functional value and purchasing decisions, acting as a crucial factor that encourages consumers to purchase environmentally friendly products. These insights suggest that companies should emphasize both functional and green values to effectively boost consumers' intention to purchase green products, particularly among Generation Z.

Abstract

Generation Z consumer interest in products and services that evoke feelings of nostalgia has grown since the COVID-19 pandemic took place. This is due to the social distancing policy which causes various psychological problems, such as; loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Nostalgia itself is believed to be a powerful antidote in overcoming this problem. This phenomenon is shown in one way or another in the rise of the analog photography trend, particularly through the boom in demand for Kodak films which are popular with Generation Z consumers who do not have personal references to nostalgic Kodak advertising content. Based on this research, it is proven that nostalgia proneness or consumers' tendency to feel nostalgic emotions will affect the intensity of nostalgic emotions generated through the nostalgic advertisements produced, even though they are historical in nature or they do not have personal experience with these advertisements. This research also proves that references and trends are one of the important factors for Generation Z consumers in Indonesia to have a strong tendency to feel nostalgia that is vicarious, especially in understanding the content of the Kodak advertisements they see.
