Tóm tắt:
Mục tiêu nghiên cứu: Nghiên cứu nhằm dự báo ý định tiếp tục lựa chọn bữa ăn bền vững dựa trên thực vật (INT), một xu hướng đang phổ biến trong giới trẻ, nhưng còn thiếu các nghiên cứu toàn diện.
Thiết kế nghiên cứu/phương pháp/tiếp cận: Nghiên cứu định lượng với khảo sát 256 người tiêu dùng Việt Nam (25–40 tuổi) và phân tích bằng mô hình cấu trúc tuyến tính (SEM) để đánh giá vai trò của mối quan tâm sinh thái (EC), lợi ích sức khỏe (HB) và giá trị tôn giáo (RV) trong việc hình thành thái độ đối với bữa ăn bền vững dựa trên thực vật (AT), từ đó tác động đến INT.
Kết quả nghiên cứu chính: Kết quả cho thấy EC và HB tác động tích cực đến AT, trong khi RV tác động trực tiếp đến cả AT và INT. Ngoài ra, AT đóng vai trò trung gian then chốt trong việc thúc đẩy INT.
Giá trị đóng góp mới: Nghiên cứu đóng góp vào lý thuyết bằng cách kết hợp yếu tố môi trường, sức khỏe và tôn giáo trong cùng một mô hình dự báo INT. Đồng thời, kết quả mang lại hàm ý cho nhà quản trị trong việc thiết kế chiến lược nhằm thúc đẩy hành vi ăn uống bền vững dựa trên thực vật.

Abstract:
Purpose: The goal of this study is to predict the intention to continue choosing sustainable plant-based meals (INT), a trend that has been growing strongly among young people, but still lacks a comprehensive investigation.
Design/methodology/approach: The quantitative method was applied with a survey of 256 Vietnamese consumers (25–40 years old). The data was analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to examine the roles of ecological concerns (EC), health benefits (HB), and religious values (RV) in shaping attitudes towards sustainable plant-based meals (AT), and their subsequent impact on INT.
Findings: The results showed that EC and HB both had a positive impact on AT, while RV directly impacts both AT and INT. Last but not least, AT plays a key role in promoting INT.
Originality/value: This study contributes to theory by simultaneously integrating environmental, health, and religious factors into a unified model for predicting INT. At the same time, the findings provide practical implications for managers in designing strategies to encourage sustainable plant-based eating behaviours.
