摘要

Electrical and electronic equipment waste has become a significant issue in solid waste management worldwide. The purchase of second-hand electronic gadgets (SHEG) has been linked to waste prevention efforts, making it an important area of research. This study investigates the factors that influence consumers’ attitudes and intentions towards purchasing SHEG. To achieve this goal, knowledge, attitudes, practice theory, and the theory of consumption values were integrated to develop the research framework. A total of 505 usable responses were collected in China through convenience sampling. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was employed to perform the analysis. The results indicate that knowledge of electronic gadgets, perceived consumer effectiveness, and perceived trust in SHEG quality positively influence attitudes towards SHEG. The intention to consume SHEG is directly affected by knowledge, perceived trust, and attitude, and indirectly by knowledge, perceived consumer effectiveness, and perceived trust through attitude. Attitude and intention to consume SHEG significantly affected consumption. Perceived trust affects the consumption of SHEG through attitude. Moreover, knowledge, perceived trust, and attitude influence SHEG consumption through the intention to consume it. Additionally, functional quality value moderates the association between SHEG intention and consumption. These findings provide valuable insights into SHEG, which can guide policymakers and practitioners to improve their marketing strategies.
