Abstract:
This study tests the impact of scepticism about cause-related marketing (CrM) campaigns and its impact on audiences’ behavioural intention to donating for a cause being endorsed by non-profit organizations (NPOs). To attain the above objective, the present study investigates how religiosity moderates the above relationship in developing markets, which has so far remained under-explored. This study is based on examining the impact of the two main elements of audiences’ scepticism about CrM: the effect of the reputation of the NPO on audiences’ scepticism and the fit between the audiences’ and the NPO and their behavioural intentions to donate to the cause. Data were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings suggest that religiosity impacts the outcomes of CrM campaigns, as it acts as a moderator of the relationship between scepticism and behavioural intention. This study also provides crucial directions to practitioners in terms of effectively designing CrM campaigns to influence behavioural intention by reducing scepticism.
