摘要

Despite the rapid development of green housing, significant challenges remain, including limited market demand. Accordingly, this research aims to elucidate the pivotal antecedents that influence residents’ perceived value and purchase intention with regard to green housing. The hybrid structural equation modeling and artificial neural network method is employed to validate the research model developed from the perceived value theory and the attitude-behavior-condition theory. The results indicated that perceived functional benefit, perceived emotional benefit, publicity education, administrative regulation and social atmosphere have significant relationships with both perceived value and purchase intention. In addition, perceived social benefit and perceived performance risk only significantly impact perceived value, whereas perceived financial risk and financial incentive only significantly affect purchase intention. The artificial neural network method results showed that social atmosphere is the most crucial driver for perceived value, while perceived value is the strongest determinant for purchase intention. The theoretical contribution of the present study lies in the development of an integrated model that incorporates both psychological perception factors and external contextual factors, while also providing rigorous empirical evidence through the utilization of two statistical techniques. Moreover, this study presents insightful implications for policymakers and industry practitioners regarding the key determinants of green housing acceptance.
