The five constructs were green mindset, anti-consumption behaviour, consumer coaching, green advocacy, and customer helping behaviour. Multi-item scales for all five constructs that had been shown to produce a high degree of reliability in prior research were gleaned from the literature.

Employing regression analysis, the hypotheses were tested, and the finding highlighted that tacit knowledge management inclination …
