Portuguese millennials and green buying behavioral intentions: application of the theory of planned behavior

The awareness towards the topic of sustainability has grown, forcing a shift in the market. Consumers are now increasingly demanding for green products and services and to fulfill it, companies need to change their strategies and focus on green marketing. Millennials are the most informed social group due to the constant connectivity via Internet to the outer world and due to that, they are the leaders of this green movement. Their heterogeneity difficult the goal of companies of meeting their customers’ expectations and therefore, it is crucial to acknowledge which are their motivations to develop a purchase intention. A framework to study the determinants of a behavioral intention (Theory of Planned Behavior) was created based on three predictors: attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control. However, this framework has opportunities of improvement since it does not consider experiences of an individual nor his identity. This research aims to fulfill this gap and analyze which are the most relevant determinants of behavior intention within the Portuguese millennials. Quantitative data was collected through a survey and that information was analyzed through PLS structural equation modeling. The results identify subjective norm, willingness to pay, green self-identity and past experience, as determinants of buying behavioral intention within the Portuguese millennials, meanwhile attitude does not impact it directly.O tópico da sustentabilidade tem ganho uma grande relevância nos dias de hoje, forçando uma mudança de paradigma no mercado. Os consumidores exigem cada vez mais a comercialização de produtos e serviços verdes e para satisfazer estas exigências, as empresas têm que mudar a sua estratégia, apostando em estratégias de Marketing verde. Os millennials são a geração mais instruída devido à ligação com o resto do mundo via Internet, levando-os a ser líderes deste movimento verde. A sua heterogeneidade dificulta o objetivo das empresas de satisfazer as expectativas dos consumidores, tornando-se crucial entender quais as suas motivações para exercer um comportamento de compra. Foi criado um modelo para estudar os determinantes de intenção de comportamento (teoria do comportamento planeado) com base em três variáveis: atitude, norma subjetiva e controlo percecionado. Contudo, este modelo apresenta oportunidades de melhoria considerando que este não analisa experiência nem identidade. Este projeto visa acrescentar valor nesta área através do estudo sobre os principais determinantes na intenção de compra verde dos millennials Portugueses. Para efetuar este estudo foi necessário recolher dados quantitativos através de um questionário, tendo estes sido analisados através de equações estruturais. Os resultados identificaram a norma subjetiva, a disponibilidade de pagamento, a identidade verde e a experiência passada, como determinantes da intenção de comportamento de compra verde. A atitude relevou-se como não sendo um determinante, não impactando diretamente a intenção de comportamento de compra verde

Exploring Facebook: impacts of social media on consumer behavior

Online social networks have been growing exponentially and are now one of the most important platforms of communication among users. This study aims to understand the impact of this new place of interaction on consumers’ behavior. To measure this impact, a quantitative study was conducted. The sample was randomly selected with 150 men across different nationalities and age groups, and was made in co-operation with the Consumer Goods Company P&G. The objective of the study was twofold: 1) understand the importance of Social Media as a marketing channel; and 2) based on the results, establish the most efficient Facebook media strategy to then be deployed across BRAUN’s key markets. The results show that tie strength, attitude towards the product and the amount of time spent online affects the perception and purchase intention of a particular product. Although variables like income and product class play a small role, the purchase intention of the consumer is significantly affected by Facebook activity, attitude towards the product and tie strength

The profile of people with Parkinson’s disease included in community boxing exercise programs

Communication abstract: Proceedings of the 5th International Congress of CiiEM - Reducing inequalities in Health and Society, held at Egas Moniz’ University Campus in Monte de Caparica, Almada, from June 16th to 18th, 2021.This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.Exercise is widely recommended for people with Parkinson (PD). Boxing is a popular mode of training. However, including individuals with less favorable profiles may have a negative impact on participation. We performed a systematic review to study the patient characteristics that were included in boxing exercise programs research and reflect on the possible inclusion criteria that professionals can use for boxing exercise programs. Indications for the best profiles were limited due to the small number of studies. Boxing programs should include people with the diagnosis of PD in earlier stages, independently ambulatory, and without current severe musculoskeletal or cardiovascular conditions.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
