Abstract

A healthy lifestyle has significantly increased the awareness of consuming organic food. In the midst of many unhealthy fast food choices, Generation Z (Gen Z) is expected to have favorable intention behavior toward organic food consumption. Past studies have not yet voiced this appropriately. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study aims to measure Gen Z’s behavioral intention towards organic food consumption in Indonesia. An online questionnaire was spread to the target respondents and 250 valid responses were received for the analysis. This study used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypothesis. The observation discovers that all TPB variables significantly depict positive influences on behavioral intention. The results imply that Indonesian Gen Z consumers have a positive intention towards organic food consumption. Thus, the findings of this study have improved our understanding of TPB in the organic food context. Organic food businesses may use the tested TPB variables in their daily business activities to cater to Gen Z customers.
