摘要：This study examines the significant differences between the socio-demographic characteristics of Millennials in Malaysia and their intention to purchase organic food. In addition, the study also investigates the factors that influenced their purchase intention using a multi theoretical approach based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and Protection Motivation Theory. A questionnaire-based approach was applied. Data were collected via a face-to-face method at organic and non-organic food shops located in Klang Valley, Malaysia. SPSS and PLS-SEM were used to analyze 214 useable samples. The results from the independent sample T-test and ANOVA test showed that there were no significant differences between gender, age, marital status, educational level and ethnicity and intention to purchase organic food; while occupation, monthly income and prior purchase experience were found to have differences on this intention. In addition, a structural model was tested and revealed that response efficacy and attitude positively influenced organic food purchase intention; and attitude was the most important predictor of this intention. Knowing the influencing factors and differences of the target market from the socio-demographic characteristics will enable firms to create more specific selling points to market organic food to the right target markets, hence, contributing towards sustainability in the country.
