Abstract

Research pertaining to CSR and its influence on consumer purchase decisions has been conducted in numerous industries including organic food, health, and energy and water consumption (Dodd & Supa, 2011; Dean, Raats, & Shepherd, 2008). However, CSR-related consumer behavior research that is specific to the apparel retail industry is minimal (Gupta & Hodges, 2012). Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the role of consumers’ values, norms and attitudes on their patronage intentions towards apparel retail brands engaged in CSR.
