Abstract
Abstract This study assesses moderated mediation effects of both cognitive factors and emotions influencing the linkage between service greenness and Gen Z’s purchase intentions. Using data from 612 observations pooled across multiple studies and service scenarios, the findings affirm that emotions mediate the relationship between service greenness and purchase intent. Additionally, Gen Z consumers with greener consumption values show a stronger emotional connection to service greenness. Surprisingly, the findings show a stronger emotional connection for a more functional service and gender had no moderating effect. The findings contribute to service theory and assist managers with reaching Gen Z more effectively. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Areas of emphasis include: Service characteristics changes. Servicescape impacts. Service delivery impacts. Services impact on organizational image. Digital service environments and impacts. Evolution of services over time and by industry. Contributions are encouraged which include analysis of existing practice, methods and programs; application of new ideas and methods; and research on various aspects of services marketing.
