2.4 Green WOM and Green Purchase intention
Customers investigate products ahead of time to reduce perceived risk. People 
nowadays use the internet to obtain information because it enables real-time customer 
interactions. According Chan (2015), indicated that viral communications have a significant 
impact on green purchasing intentions. Keller & Fay (2012) stated that positive Word Of 
Mouth (WOM) can bring a high level of credibility, so customers are more likely to make 
green purchase intentions when they know others relating positive information about 
products. WOM has a direct impact on consumer decision-making because people tend to 
make decisions by relating to knowledge that decreases the ambiguity of their decision-
making (Chan et al., 2014). A study by (Chan et al., 2012) when customers are surrounded by 
but perplexed by so-called "green products," those with higher green WOM are more likely to 
gain their trust and perceive their green purchasing intentions. Products with positive green 
WOM opinions are trusted by consumers and, as a result, influence the purchase intention of 
other customers. When customers are unsure about green products, they are more likely to 
trust and purchase those with excellent green WOM (Guerreiro & Pacheco, 2021). Therefore, 
this study suggests the research hypotheses:
Green WOM has a positive impact on Green Purchase Intention (H2) 
2.5 Green Trust and Green Purchase Intention
According to Chen (2010), green purchase intention is defined as "the likelihood that a 
consumer would buy a specific product as a result of his or her environmental needs.” To 
make people more likely to buy green products, companies should invest in their green image

and customer trust (Chen & Chang, 2012). It is because green trust makes people more likely 
to buy green products because they connect with businesses that are ethical and avoid 
businesses that aren't. (Leonidou et al., 2012). This statement is also supported by a previous 
study that found a positive relationship between trust in an online store and consumers' 
intention to buy from an online store in their empirical study. (Everard & Galletta, 2005; 
Chen & Chang, 2012; Guerreiro & Pachecho, 2021) Therefore, this study suggests the 
research hypotheses:
Green trust has a positive impact on green purchase intention (H3)
