2026 is incomplete. Within a successfully fetched ten-year window, omitted years mean zero. Years beyond a saved observation’s window remain unknown (—). Older citations are excluded, so this chart’s sum may differ from the OpenAlex lifetime total. The date above belongs to this annual history; an unsuccessful refresh keeps the previous observation.
Abstract
This study aims to explain the emergence of hygiene product purchasing behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic using the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). Perceived severity and vulnerability, as well as protection motivation, are variables that are predicted to affect hygiene product purchase behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. The object of this research is the adult citizens of Malang City who purchase hygiene products during the COVID-19 pandemic. Partial Least Square (PLS) is used in this study to answer the research objectives with the help of SmartPLS 3.3. This study found that perceived severity and protection intention played a role in stimulating the emergence of hygiene product purchase behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in Malang City.
