Abstract
This study examines investors’ pro-environmental investment intentions by measuring the effect of economic concern (egoistic value) and environmental concern (altruistic value) on attitudes toward socially responsible investment (SRI). A self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 469 investors using a purposive sampling technique and analyzed using two-step structural equation modeling. Results show that both altruistic and egoistic values were significant predictors of a positive attitude toward SRI, portraying the greater environmental concern of investors. Additionally, male investors motivated to invest in SRI are more concerned about environmental well-being than their counterparts, that is, female investors. By analyzing values as antecedents of attitudes toward SRI, the findings of this study add a new dimension to the belief system of young investors. JEL Codes: A13; D19; G1; G4
