From ordering to waste: How emotions shape dining practices in green restaurants

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

This study develops a model of cognitive theory of emotion and theory of interpersonal behaviour to investigate the relationships among various individuals’ food ordering routines, perceived mood, and revisit intention to green restaurants. A quantitative approach using a partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse relationships among constructs, with 524 responses. Our results showed that individual excessive food ordering routine has a positive impact on positive mood toward food waste and responsible planning routine has a positive impact on negative mood. Additionally, face-saving behaviour influenced both positive and negative moods. A moderating effect of using doggie bags was found, enhancing the positive mood to revisit intention to green restaurants. Practical implications were finally provided.
