Exploring the impact of use and non-use value on behavioral intention to purchase organic foods: evidence from a developing country’s context

A number of determinants have been investigated by past researchers in the framework of theory of planned behavior.In addition to attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control, use and non-use values have been studied by past researchers with inconsistent results.This article is aimed a...
