Abstract

Purpose

The main aim of this research is to portray how augmented reality (AR) characteristics (augmentation, interactivity, personalization, spatial presence, novelty, entertainment and informativeness) can enhance online customer experience (OCE).

Design/methodology/approach

This study conceptualizes a new framework that proposes various relationships between AR characteristics and OCE.

Findings

This study is extending the relationships between AR and OCE by including various AR characteristics that have not been tackled by the previous research.

Originality/value

This research provides an original framework on the relationship between AR characteristics and OCE through highlighting the role of media richness theory. The study is considered the first of its kind to combine these AR characteristics and customer experience in a comprehensive framework.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigate what drives people to show a willingness to mitigate the effects of climate change. To accomplish this goal, this research uses the theory of planned behaviour to examine whether attitude towards climate change, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control are potential determinants of a pro-environmental intention and thus a pro-environmental behaviour.

Design/methodology/approach

This explanatory paper applies a Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis to identify the key drivers of pro-environmental intention and behaviour. A non-probability convenience sample of 481 Egyptian respondents was collected.

Findings

This study finds that awareness combined with a willingness to pay to mitigate climate change are key drivers of pro-environmental intention. Moreover, personal responsibility and confidence in the ability to mitigate climate change also trigger climate-friendly intentions. Finally, it is found that societal engagement and willingness to take action increase the propensity to exhibit pro-environmental behaviour.

Research limitations/implications

The results of our analysis cannot be generalized to the Egyptian population as a whole as our sample only comprises a sample of Egyptian students.

Originality/value

This paper is novel as it is the first that applies Qualitative Comparative Analysis to the Theory of Planned Behaviour. By doing so, the paper sheds light on the understanding of key cognitive, social-psychological and behavioural factors which lead to environmental actions. Hence, it provides policy-makers with a framework to support a more sustainable society.
