However, the consumption of such products is still below expectations because these products are usually costlier than their traditional counterparts. The current study aims to investigate consumer behavior towards environment-friendly products using Ajzen\u2019s theory of planned behavior as a theoretical model. The study seeks to examine the role of the key determinates of environmentally conscious purchase behavior, such as ethical obligation and green self-identity. A total of 386 responses were collected from consumers living in a few major cities of northern India using purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling in Amos 22.0. The results demonstrated that attitudes towards environment-friendly products perceived behavioral control and green self-identity as the major determinants of green purchase intentions. In addition, attitude was reported to mediate the effect of ethical obligation on green purchase intentions and green self-identity was found to moderate the effect of attitude on green purchase intentions. Additionally, green self-identity was also reported to moderate the relationship between ethical obligation and attitude. The study adds value to the existing literature by signifying the role of green self-identity and ethical obligation in stimulating consumers\u2019 green purchase intentions. The findings of the study are also meaningful for marketers and policymakers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su15086426","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]],"date-time":"2023-04-10T05:59:33Z","timestamp":1681106373000},"page":"6426","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Modeling Environmentally Conscious Purchase Behavior: Examining the Role of Ethical Obligation and Green Self-Identity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3787-488X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rakesh","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management Studies, Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad, Prayagraj 211004, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5655-4457","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kishore","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Business and Management, Christ (Deemed to be University) NCR Campus, Ghaziabad 201003, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5406-2210","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rubee","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Business Management, GLA University, Mathura 281406, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2228-5348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Carlos","family":"S\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering (ISEP), Polytechnic of Porto, Rua Dr. Ant\u00f3nio Bernardino de Almeida 431, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Sandro","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technological School, 2Ai\u2014Applied Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Polytechnic Institute of Cavado and Ave, 4750-810 Barcelos, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9268-3272","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gilberto","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Design School, Polytechnic Institute Cavado Ave, Campus do IPCA, 4750-810 Barcelos, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1342","article-title":"Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission Reduction Model in Surabaya","volume":"26","author":"Pratiwi","year":"2020","journal-title":"Ecol.
