Abstract

This study examines how perceived credibility, eco-literacy, and environmental awareness shape green trust and ultimately increase green sharing intention toward environmentally friendly packaging made from palmyra palm in the context of Generation Z in Kupang. The aim is to emphasize the central role of green trust as a psychological bridge between perception, knowledge, and awareness with green information sharing behavior that has advocacy value. The method used is a quantitative survey based on an attitude scale questionnaire, with analysis using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. This study involved 144 respondents. The results show that green trust directly drives green sharing intention, perceived credibility directly drives green sharing intention, while perceived credibility, eco-literacy, and environmental awareness strengthen green trust; subsequently, green trust mediates the influence of these three factors, thereby driving stronger sharing intentions. In the context of palmyra palm packaging, trust provides psychological legitimacy to sustainability claims and channels environmental awareness impacts through more stable beliefs. Theoretically, this study enriches the green marketing literature by introducing an integrated framework that positions green trust as a mediating mechanism linking credibility, ecological literacy, and awareness with green sharing intentions, while expanding the discourse that previously focused more on green purchasing intentions. Practically, these findings provide concrete guidance for companies and policymakers to strengthen transparent communication strategies, develop ecological literacy programs, and intensify environmental awareness campaigns to encourage consumer advocacy and expand the adoption of sustainable palm based packaging as an alternative to single-use plastics.

Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME’s) in the local food sector in East Nusa Tenggara play an important role in driving regional economic growth while preserving local wisdom. This study aims to analyze the influence of market sensing, innovativeness, knowledge, motivation, partnership quality, and IT capability on the growth of local food SME’s. The research method employed is a quantitative approach through a survey of 165 SME’s operators, with data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The analysis results indicate that market sensing, knowledge, motivation, and partnership quality have a significant impact on SME’s growth. Conversely, innovativeness and IT capability do not have a significant impact. These findings emphasize that the ability to understand market needs, manage business knowledge, maintain entrepreneurial motivation, and establish quality partnerships are the primary determinants of the growth of local food SME’s. Meanwhile, limited resources, low digital literacy, and local consumer preferences for traditional products are factors that explain the weak contribution of innovation and information technology. This study contributes to the development of literature by reaffirming the relevance of the Resource-Based View and Dynamic Capabilities View theories in the context of SME’s in island regions. Practically, business actors need to strengthen market sensing, enhance knowledge capacity, and build strategic partnership networks. Further studies are recommended to examine the role of mediating factors, policy support, and the dynamics of SME’s growth in the long term.
