Abstrak. Pandangan manusia telah bergeser seiring dengan meningkatnya kepedulian terhadap lingkungan, sehingga menimbulkan tuntutan bagi pelaku bisnis untuk memberikan solusi dalam menghadapi berbagai permasalahan lingkungan melalui pengembangan green product. Eco-label sebagai jaminan mutu green product merupakan isu di dunia bisnis dan perdagangan global saat ini. Â Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menerapkan Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) untuk mengetahui pengaruh eco-label terhadap kesadaran konsumen untuk membeli green product. SEM adalah teknik analisis multivariat yang digunakan untuk membangun hubungan antara variabel terukur dan konstruk latennya. Variabel-variabel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah eco-label awareness, attitude towards the environment, belief in environment-friendly buying, eco-label knowledge, eco-label availability, attention towards eco-label, dan purchase intention. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel belief in environment-friendly buying, eco-label knowledge, dan attention towards eco-label memiliki pengaruh langsung terhadap purchase intention, sementara variabel eco-label awareness dan eco-label availability hanya menunjukkan pengaruh tidak langsung terhadap purchase intention.

Abstract. The society’s viewpoint has shifted along with the increasing concern for the environment, causing the rise of demand for the businessman to provide a concrete solution to deal with the current environmental problems through the development of green products. Eco-label, as a quality assurance of green products, has been a global trade-related issue for years. This research aims to determine the effect of eco-labels on consumers’ awareness to purchase green products by using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). SEM is a multivariate technique incorporating a network of relationship between measured variables and latent construct. The variables used in this research consist of eco-label awareness, attitude towards the environment, belief in buying environment-friendly, eco-label knowledge, eco-label availability, attention towards eco-label, and purchase intention. By using Structural Equation Modeling, some of key findings from the data analysis are highlighted: belief in environment-friendly buying, eco-label knowledge, and attention towards eco-label show a direct influence on purchase intention, while eco-label awareness and eco-label availability only show the indirect effect on purchase intention.
