Abstract Daily green products have gained growing awareness in recent years. Perceived values of consumers are crucial for companies to promote the formation of holistic value of green products to consumers. In addition, understanding different motivation types of consumers to adopt green purchase behavior is critical. To answer the research call to better conceptualize green purchase intention, this study aims to investigate how consumers' perceived values influence different motivation types, and in turn, affect their green purchase behavioral intention. An extended research model by integrating customer value theory (CVT) and self-determination theory (SDT) is developed to explain green purchase behavioral intention. Three hundred and five participants were recruited, and the findings were analyzed using partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Results suggested that the three perceived values (i.e., emotional value, functional value, and relational value) significantly predict perceived green product value, while perceived green product value predicts four types of regulations (i.e., external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, and integrated regulation). Results also showed that autonomous motivation (i.e., identified regulation and integrated regulation) significantly predicts green purchase intention. These findings provide theoretical implications to SDT and customer value theory in the field of green business strategy management and practical implications to green businesses and governments.
