| description | There is growing interest in identifying the drivers of and barriers to green purchasing, and
many publications focus on motivational factors. However, the effects of these factors on the
activities and means applied to sustainable purchasing are seldom investigated. This paper
addresses this research gap and examines the impact of the motivational factors on green
purchasing practices of the companies’. This paper also emphasises the role and motivational
background of personal attitudes and reveals that there are differences among them. Based
on the literature, a questionnaire was developed and a survey was completed in Hungary. The
answers indicate that positive and compliant personal attitudes of purchasing managers’ have
different drivers and barriers, while differences are also present in sustainable purchasing
practices. Purchasing managers with a positive personal attitude have better green purchasing
practices but mainly concerning product performance level activities, which do not require
in-depth green management information |
