Against the backdrop of increasingly severe global environmental issues, the concept of ecological civilization advocates for a harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, and the philosophy of green development has gradually integrated into the entire process of economic, political, cultural, and social construction. Implementing green marketing has become a key strategy for enterprises to enhance both economic and social benefits. However, there remains a lack of in-depth academic research on how green marketing effectively influences consumers, particularly whether their perceptions of green marketing can evoke emotional and behavioral responses. This study aims to explore the underlying mechanisms of how consumers' perceptions of green marketing affect their purchase intention, with a special focus on the mediating roles of consumer trust and sense of power. Based on the "S-O-R" (Stimulus-Organism-Response) theoretical framework, this study constructs a conceptual model that links consumers' perceptions of green marketing, trust, sense of power, and green purchase intention. Effective data were collected through a questionnaire survey, and empirical analyses were conducted using SPSS and AMOS software. The findings reveal that consumers' perceptions of green marketing have a significant positive impact on their purchase intention, with all three dimensions of green marketing perception (ecological perspective, quality, and fit) exerting significant positive effects. Notably, consumer trust and sense of power serve as mediators between their perceptions of green marketing and green purchase intention. Grounded in these empirical findings, this study offers new insights into how consumers' perceptions of green marketing influence their purchase intention. Furthermore, it provides theoretical support and practical guidance for enterprises to formulate effective green marketing strategies, thereby enhancing consumer trust and purchase intention. By delving into the mechanisms that link green marketing perceptions to consumers' purchase intention, this research offers valuable insights and strategic recommendations for enterprises to achieve a win-win scenario in both economic and social benefits.
