- Abstract
It has been recognized that there is a need for a new research area that concentrates on perceptions rather than reactions. The present study proposes a conceptual framework to incorporate consumer-perceived ethicality (CPE) and its influence on brand identification. Also, this research measure the mediating influence of brand identification on consumer brand image and brand commitment. A nonrandom sampling procedure was employed, yielding a total of 368 valid responses. This study's findings suggest that CPE has a positive and significant direct impact on brand identification. The partial mediating impact of brand identification is observed in the path relationship from CPE to brand commitment. By examining the consequences of customer responses to CPE, businesses can develop better strategies that are desirable from both a normative and a business perspective. This study's overall managerial implications include improving ethical practices since they have a significant impact on the consumer formation of brand commitment.
