Abstract

The growing consumer awareness of environmental issues has transformed purchasing behavior, particularly in the adoption of green products. This study examines the influence of green emotional attachment on green purchase intention by integrating attitude as a mediator and greenwashing perception as a moderator within the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework among Indonesian consumers. A quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 3.0 was applied. The sample consisted of 221 valid respondents. Data were collected through an online survey using a five-point Likert scale. The results show that green emotional attachment, attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control each have a significant positive effect on green purchase intention. Furthermore, attitude significantly mediates the relationship between green emotional attachment and green purchase intention. Most notably, greenwashing perception negatively moderates the relationship between attitude and green purchase intention, indicating that favorable attitudes become less effective when consumers perceive corporate environmental claims as misleading. The study reaffirms TPB's relevance and highlights greenwashing as a critical boundary condition. Practically, companies should avoid greenwashing, build genuine emotional attachment through authentic storytelling and transparent communication, and obtain third-party certifications to encourage sustainable consumption in Indonesia.

Abstract

Social media influencers have become central to consumer behavior in Indonesia's beauty industry, yet existing influencer marketing literature has given disproportionate attention to purchase intention while overlooking imitation intention. This study examines how perceived credibility and intimate self-disclosure influence imitation intention among beauty influencer followers in Indonesia, with parasocial relationship as a mediating mechanism. Grounded in Social Learning Theory, Source Credibility Theory, and Parasocial Relationship Theory, the model was tested using PLS-SEM with data from 220 users following beauty influencers specializing in skincare content. Parasocial relationship was modeled as a higher-order construct comprising proximity, similarity, and attraction. Six of seven hypotheses were supported. Perceived credibility positively influenced parasocial relationship and imitation intention, while intimate self-disclosure positively influenced parasocial relationship but showed no significant direct effect on imitation intention. Parasocial relationship partially mediated the credibility–imitation relationship and fully mediated the self-disclosure–imitation relationship. These findings reveal a meaningful asymmetry: credibility operates through both relational and non-relational pathways, whereas self-disclosure achieves behavioral influence entirely through parasocial relationship. The results extend parasocial relationship theory to imitation as a distinct behavioral outcome beyond purchase and offer actionable implications for influencer selection and content strategy in Indonesia's beauty market.
