Summary: | Consumers have attached increasing importance to values of safety, health,
environment and animal friendliness in the products they consume. Meanwhile, the
wholesomeness concept of halal does not cover the Shariah requirement only, but also
the sustainability concept of personal hygiene and public safety. This trend is shown by
more consumer demand for value-based items such as products that are halal, natural
and eco-friendly. However, discussions and empirical examination of these issues are
limited. Therefore, this study attempts to explore the influence of type of values (self
transcendence and conservation), halalan-tayyiban awareness, and attitudes on
intention to purchase halal cosmetic products. The data was collected through a selfadministered
questionnaire survey with purposive sampling on 560 Indonesian young
Muslim consumers. The data was then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling.
Findings of the present study revealed that type of values (self transcendence and
conservation), halalan-tayyiban awareness, and attitudes were all important predictors
of intentions to purchase halal cosmetic products. Overall, the results of this study
confirm applicability of the value-attitude-behavior model in the context of halal
cosmetic purchasing. Self transcendence and conservation were found to be predictors
of halalan-tayyiban awareness of cosmetic products. Halalan-tayyiban awareness of
cosmetic products was found to influence attitude towards halal cosmetic products. The
findings also revealed that halalan-tayyiban awareness of cosmetic products may have
mediated partially the influence of conservation on attitude towards halal cosmetic
products. Conclusively, the findings demonstrated that there was significant
relationship between attitudes and purchase intention of halal cosmetic products. An
important theoretical contribution of this study is extending the value-attitude-behavior
model by exploring halalan-tayyiban awareness. This study recommends marketers to
integrate the concept of halalan-tayyiban in their strategic marketing activities to
increase consumers’ halalan-tayyiban awareness of halal business practices, which in
turn may enhance the image of halal products. The present study also suggests
manufacturers to implement the concept of halalan-tayyiban into the products they
produce. |
