This paper aims to measure consumer awareness of environmentally friendly products in the context of United Arab Emirates. The study also intends to measure the effect of consumer awareness on the customer intention to purchase environmentally friendly products and whether or not consumer attitudes mediate this relationship. A self-administered survey was delivered using google form tool to reach as many respondents as possible, where a link to survey has been shared by emails, the respondent randomly selected from United Arab Emirates. A total of 174 responses has been received of which 7 responses dropped for being not complete, resulting in 167 useful responses. Content validity has been done to ensure the items are clearly understood, which is accomplished by consulting two academicians who are familiar with this field of study. SPSS statistical package version 22 has been used to test the hypotheses of this research. Based on data analysis, it has been found that Environmental Awareness positively and significantly affects Consumers’ Attitudes toward environmentally friendly products and Green products Purchase Intention, respectively. Furthermore, a positive and significant relationship between Consumers’ Attitudes towards environmentally friendly products and Purchase Intention is detected. However, the proposed mediating role of Attitudes in the relationship between Environmental Awareness and Purchase Intention was not supported.

The primary aim of this research is to determine attitudes held towards autonomous vehicles (AVs) and understand their impact on intentions to use the service among ride-hailing users in the UK. Based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour model, an online, self-administered survey was used to collect data from 151 consumers (18-24-year-olds). The relationship between variables was measured using a Spearman’s Rank test in SPSS. The results of this study found all categories (overall attitude, perceived ease-of-use, perceived value, perceived safety, perceived risk, technology, environmentalism, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control) received a positive mean score. From these results, it can be concluded that this sample holds positive attitudes towards AVs and intend to use the service when they are made available. A positive score for perceived risk, however, indicated that this group thought there may be safety concerns when using this technology. The main contribution of this study is providing data to a new, and rapidly evolving field of research and thus the findings of the present study contribute to ongoing research related to consumers attitudes of AVs. Managerially, companies that focus on developing and implementing AV taxis need to focus more on the safety benefits of such vehicles.
