Abstrakt:

Aim: This study investigated how the consciousness of sustainable consumption affects each of the consumption phases in terms of the different socio-demographic features of young consumers. Methodology: To achieve the aim of this study, the structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied. The research data were obtained through a computer assisted web interview (CAWI). Results: The results revealed not only that the consciousness of sustainable consumption has a signi-ficant effect on all three sustainable consumption phases, but also that socio-economic characteristics influence the strength of these relationships. Implications and recommendations: The conclusions may be helpful to stakeholders involved in sustainable supply chains, and to institutions involved in the education and promotion of sustainable behaviour. Originality/value: This study was the first to explore how the consciousness of sustainable consumption influences all stages of consumption among young consumers.
