Resumo

Este estudo analisou a relação entre as diferentes motivações do consumo verde no contexto de um produto com características egoístas e/ou altruístas, dados os diferentes níveis de consciência ambiental e seu impacto no comportamento do consumidor. Para tal foi realizada uma pesquisa explicativa, de caráter quantitativo, que utilizou como método a realização de um experimento do cenário dos valores sociais e da consciência do indivíduo. Os resultados mostraram que a motivação na perspectiva da preocupação ambiental, que propõe um consumo altruísta, influenciou em maior intensidade a prática do consumo verde quando comparada à motivação da perspectiva social (modismo e posicionamento individual), que, por sua vez, propõe um consumo egoísta. Os dados também demonstraram que para a elite tecnológica o valor social proporcionado pelo consumo, seja por sua perspectiva normativa ou pelo status social, não influenciam a prática do consumo verde. Por fim, a pesquisa comprovou que o nível de consciência ambiental é um importante antecedente da intenção de uso de produtos verdes, na qual usuários com maior nível de consciência ambiental têm maior intenção de consumo, embora também ter sido demonstrado a existência de uma grande lacuna entre a predição de uso e o uso corrente de produtos verdes para consumidores.
