Abstract
This study aims to investigate the food choice motives effect on casual restaurant consumers’ intent to not waste food and their actual behaviour on food waste avoidance through the lens of Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). 587 Indonesian casual restaurant consumers involve as the respondents which their data have been analysed through the SmartPLS Software. This current study finds that 1) the consumers’ food choices motives positively and significantly influence the consumers’ intent for not wasting food, 2) the consumers’ intent for not wasting food positively and significantly influences the consumers’ actual behaviour on food waste prevention and 3) the consumers’ intent to not waste food mediates the consumers’ food choice motives and consumers’ actual behaviour on food waste prevention. Not only suggesting valuable theoretical implications, but this research also provides managerial implications that will be useful for the casual restaurant in developing pro-environmental strategies.
