Utilizing a quantitative approach, the research aims to identify the impact of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control on consumers' purchasing decisions. Data were collected from a sample of 293 respondents through a structured questionnaire employing a fivepoint Likert scale. The study employs multiple regression analysis to test the hypotheses and evaluate the predictive power of the identified factors on purchase intention. The results reveal that all three variables—attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control—significantly influence purchase intention. Attitude towards Mistine products emerged as a strong predictor, suggesting that positive perceptions substantially enhance the likelihood of purchase. Subjective norms, including the influence of friends, family, and social media, also play a crucial role in shaping purchase intentions. Additionally, perceived behavioral control, reflecting consumers' confidence in their ability to purchase Mistine products, significantly impacts their purchasing behavior. The findings provide valuable insights for Mistine and similar brands to tailor their marketing strategies effectively. By understanding the key drivers of purchase intention, companies can better target their promotional efforts, enhance consumer satisfaction, and build stronger brand loyalty. The study concludes with recommendations for marketers and suggestions for future research to explore additional factors that may influence consumer behavior in the beauty and skincare market.
146 827 - PublicationInvestigating factors affecting intention to participate in used cooking oil collection programs : a case study of flea markets in Bangkok(University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, 2023)
;Gorbianta, Yegar Sahaduta ; ; ;University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. International Business.University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. International School of Management.Improper disposal of Used Cooking Oil (UCOs), originating from various culinary and frying processes, poses significant environmental and health challenges. UCOs, encompassing both vegetable and animal-derived oils, are particularly prevalent in households and the broader food industry, including well-known establishments like fast food chains and restaurants. Addressing UCO-related concerns is crucial, especially in regions like Thailand where substantial quantities are generated. Despite their abundance, awareness remains limited, particularly within the informal sector comprising street hawkers and market food stalls. This independent study delves into factors influencing stakeholder participation in a UCO collection program facilitated through an online mobile application. The primary goal is to bridge gaps in the informal sector, promoting stronger adherence to circular economy principles, sustainable energy practices, and proactive contributions to environmental preservation and pollution reduction.The research takes a comprehensive view of the factors shaping individuals' intentions to engage with the UCO collection program. A key focus is assessing the extent to which individuals embrace novel technologies for collection and tracking. To structure this examination, the study employs the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), proven effective in analyzing variables impacting the intention to adopt technology-driven solutions. Geographically, the study centers on Bangkok's lively flea markets, including notable spots like Talad Rod Fai Srinakarin, Jodd Fairs, and The One Ratchada. Employing a quantitative approach, the study administers online questionnaires to a diverse range of participants – street hawkers, food stalls, and restaurants. Meticulous analysis, using methods such as multiple and linear regression, aims to uncover correlations between factors and participants' intentions to embrace the UCO mobile application. Results drawn from 108 participants underscore the significant influence of factors like performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence on engagement with the UCO collection initiative. The predominantly male participants, spanning various age groups, exhibit diverse levels of daily UCO usage. Encouragingly, respondents collectively believe in the program's potential to enhance UCO management and operational efficiency. The study's conclusion emphasizes the importance of emphasizing performance expectancy for successful mobile application adoption and high-quality service delivery. By shedding light on technology adoption dynamics within UCO collection, this study enriches existing knowledge and provides practical suggestions for more effective collection initiatives. The findings extend beyond technology assimilation, enhancing understanding of UCO collection efforts. More significantly, the research highlights the pivotal role played by the informal sector, underscoring its potential as a change agent for circular economy practices, sustainable energy promotion, and environmental preservation. In summary, this independent study calls for a reevaluation of UCO collection strategies. Emphasizing the informal sector's involvement strongly appeals for collaboration between the public and private sectors, aiming to foster efficient, inclusive, and impactful UCO collection programs. By unveiling the intricate interplay between technology and sustainability, this research lays a robust foundation for future endeavors in waste management, circular economies, and sustainable technology integration.164 874 - PublicationThe impact of brand image and brand trust on consumers purchase intention of BYD EV car in Bangkok(University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC), 2024)
;Jingyao, Xu ;Nattapan Buavaraporn ;International Business ;University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. International BusinessUniversity of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. International School of ManagementThis study investigates the influence of brand image and brand trust on consumers' intention to purchase BYD EV cars in Bangkok, Thailand. In this study, brand image was divided into three dimensions, namely corporate image, product/service image and user image, with reference to the Biel model, in order to understand how these factors affect the decision-making process of consumers' purchase intention for BYD EV cars. The research data was collected using a single structured questionnaire, and 289 valid questionnaires were obtained. Through descriptive data analysis of demographic characteristics and frequency distribution, it is known that the main respondents are male (55.6%), of which 48.4% are aged between 30-39, indicating that relatively young consumers have a high acceptance of new energy vehicles. The majority of respondents had a Bachelor's degree or higher, indicating that most of the sample was highly educated. Income levels vary. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for reliability analysis and the reliability scores for each dimension were high, indicating internal consistency and within the acceptable research range. Validity analysis ensures that the measured results accurately reflect the structure of interest. Sampling adequacy was verified by KMO measurements, and the Bartlett sphericity test significantly confirmed that the data were suitable for analysis. Correlation analysis is used to check whether there is a significant positive correlation between the independent variables (company image, product/service image, user image, brand trust) and the dependent variable (purchase intention). Meanwhile, multiple regression analysis was used to further determine the relative contribution of the predictors to purchase intention. It is found that the three dimensions of brand image have a impact on consumers' purchase intention, and the impact of product/service image on consumers' purchase intention is much higher than that of company image and user image. Brand trust also has a significant positive effect on consumers' purchase intention, but the effect is still lower than that of product/service image in the three dimensions of brand image. At the same time, the explanatory power of these factors for purchase intention is 43.8%, and there are other factors that are not mentioned. The research results have practical significance for BYD and new energy automobile enterprises. For example, BYD and other new energy automobile manufacturers should strengthen their corporate image, emphasize their brand awareness and industry status in this field, establish a good corporate image, and enhance consumer confidence. Maintain high quality products while focusing on service quality and enterprise research and development capabilities. Build strong brand trust through reliable products and outstanding services to enhance consumer confidence and purchase intentions. This study highlights the importance of good brand image and brand trust in shaping the purchase intention of consumers with new entry technology "EV Car". The results show that marketing strategies that pay attention to these factors can help increase sales. Future research could further explore other factors that influence purchase intentions205 1028
