Resumen
Purpose: This investigation addresses the influence of closed-loop supply chain integration (CLSCI) on consumer perception of sustainable brand value, examining its effect on purchasing decisions, brand loyalty, and image.
Theoretical framework: The study operates within a framework that posits CLSCI as a potential enhancer of sustainable brand value, mediated by demographic variables and consumer consciousness of sustainability practices.
Design/methodology/approach: A cross-sectional analysis was performed with 240 Saudi participants using Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to assess the hypotheses derived from the theoretical framework.
Findings: Results indicate a direct correlation between CLSCI and brand image, strengthened by consumer awareness. Moreover, age and awareness significantly mediate the relationship between CLSCI and perceived brand value and purchasing decisions.
Research, Practical & Social implications: Findings underscore the necessity for Saudi photovoltaic (PV) firms to elevate CLSCI awareness and its linkage to brand image. The study also prompts further examination of age-related influences and sustainable waste management practices.
Originality/value: his study contributes to the limited research on CLSCI's role within the Saudi PV sector, providing empirical evidence and a conceptual model for CLSCI implementation, offering insights for enhanced consumer engagement and sustainable brand development.
