Abstract

Marketing scholars have extensively examined the role of altruistic and ecological personal values and pro-environmental identity in ethical consumption decisions. Conversely, the role of egoistic personal values and other identities has received scant attention from researchers. This research examines the role of altruistic, egoistic, and ecological personal values in triggering two types of identities: pro-environmental and car-authority. The effects of values and identities on personal norms and attitudes toward electric cars were also examined. A sample of Egyptian consumers responded to an electronic survey, and collected data were analyzed using SEM. The findings generally support the VIP framework, where biospheric values significantly affect pro-environmental identity, and pro-environmental identity affects personal norms. Furthermore, personal norms affected attitudes positively. A different path was obtained which starts with biospheric and altruistic values affecting car authority positively and negatively, respectively. Car authority identity was found to affect attitudes directly, although this is accepted at lower confidence levels. A discussion of research findings, implications, and research limitations were also presented.

埃及消费者的个人价值观、消费者身份和对电动汽车的态度
市场营销学者广泛研究了利他主义和生态个人价值观以及环保身份在道德消费决策中的作用。相反,利己主义的个人价值观和其他身份的作用很少受到研究人员的关注。这项研究考察了利他主义、利己主义和生态个人价值观在触发两种身份中的作用:环保和汽车权威。还考察了价值观和身份对个人规范和对电动汽车的态度的影响。埃及消费者的样本对一项电子调查做出了回应,并使用SEM对收集的数据进行了分析。调查结果总体上支持VIP框架,即生物圈价值观显著影响环保身份,环保身份影响个人规范。此外,个人规范对态度产生了积极影响。获得了一条不同的路径,分别从生物圈和利他主义价值观对汽车权威的积极和消极影响开始。汽车权威身份被发现会直接影响态度,尽管这在较低的信心水平下是可以接受的。还对研究结果、影响和研究局限性进行了讨论。
