Study goals
The study aims to understand the factors influencing the adoption of residential solar energy, proposing theoretical propositions based on mental accounting, regulatory focus, and construal level, with the intention of supporting future research on consumer behavior in the context of renewable energy
Relevance / originality
This study addresses a gap in the literature by investigating how mental accounting, regulatory focus, and construal level influence the decision to adopt solar energy The proposed theoretical propositions contribute to a better understanding of consumer behavior in the context of renewable
Methodology / approach
The research developed theoretical propositions through a comprehensive literature review on mental accounting, regulatory focus, and construal level. These approaches were analyzed for their applicability in the decision to adopt solar energy, considering their practical and theoretical implications.
Main results
The propositions suggest that mental accounting, regulatory focus, and construal level significantly influence the decision to adopt solar energy. These findings highlight the need for empirical studies to validate these propositions and deepen the understanding of these influences.
Theoretical / methodological contributions
The study theoretically contributes by integrating three relevant approaches to consumer behavior in the context of solar energy, offering new perspectives for academic research. Methodologically, the research proposal suggests avenues for future empirical studies to validate the developed
Social / management contributions
This study provides valuable insights for managers and companies in the solar energy sector by identifying factors that may influence the adoption of photovoltaic technology Understanding these factors can aid in the formulation of more effective and targeted marketing strategies for the
