永續飲食消費是一種藉由購買當地有機種植、少包裝、當季並且在地的綠色食材,來降低對環境的傷害,以減緩地球暖化的速度。以往素食消費動機之研究認為,有宗教信仰者會因宗教道德與保護生態而食用素食;而無宗教信仰者則會考量經濟因素、健康關係、個人因素。然而,卻未能解釋這些素食消費動機是如何影響素食消費決策。基於前述,本研究運用方法目的鏈理論,深度訪談60位素食消費者,主要目的在探討(1)素食飲食能為消費者帶來哪些消費利益?又能滿足顧客消費哪些目標與價值?(2)建構素食消費的價值層級結構。研究結果發現,素食消費可為消費者帶來愉悅、慈悲、孝順、滿足、責任感、永續生存、成就感、安心、惜福、值得等11項價值;且在17項素食消費利益中,以健康、美味、省錢、節省時間、兼顧其他事務最為重要。最後本研究建立愉悅感、值得、責任感與孝順、安心與慈悲、永續生存五項價值階層路徑。
