Abstract

Owing to environmental pollution and care for natural resources, the notion of sustainable consumption has gained significant research attention. However, studies on sustainable consumption are still in their infancy and need further development. With a view to providing a broader perspective on this issue, this study systematically reviewed the relevant literature published between 2000 and 2020 and synthesized the existing knowledge in order to understand what we know thus far and what we need to know to understand the wider dimensions of the phenomenon. More specifically, this study has answered eight major questions: How has this concept emerged? How can the notion of sustainable consumption be conceptualized in a holistic manner? What are the major facets of sustainable consumption? What theories are being considered in relation to this phenomenon? What methodologies are being utilized? What are the predictors of sustainable consumption? What is the outcome of sustainable consumption? What mediators/moderators are being considered in relation to this concept? This study calls for more research to be conducted to fill the gaps in the existing literature.

摘要

由于环境污染和对自然资源的关心，可持续消费的概念受到了广泛的研究关注。但是，关于可持续消费的研究仍处于起步阶段，需要进一步发展。为了对此问题提供更广阔的视野，本研究系统地回顾了2000年至2020年之间发表的相关文献，并对现有知识进行了综合，以了解迄今为止我们所了解的知识以及了解更大范围内的知识所需要了解的知识。现象。更具体地说，这项研究回答了八个主要问题：这个概念如何出现？如何以整体方式概念化可持续消费的概念？可持续消费的主要方面是什么？关于这种现象正在考虑什么理论？正在使用什么方法？可持续消费的预测因素是什么？可持续消费的结果是什么？正在考虑与该概念相关的调解人/主持人？这项研究要求进行更多的研究以填补现有文献中的空白。
