Abstract

This study explores how social media activities influence eco-friendly behavior and environmental concern, and how these factors affect word-of-mouth in the context of sustainable fashion. Using a quantitative approach with 591 respondents in Indonesia, data were analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that social media significantly impacts both eco-friendly behavior and environmental concern. In turn, these two variables positively influence word-of-mouth, indicating that environmentally engaged individuals are more likely to promote sustainable fashion. The model demonstrates moderate explanatory power, with R2 values of 0.205 for eco-friendly behavior, 0.171 for environmental concern, and 0.354 for word-of-mouth. This study extends existing theories by integrating social media engagement into pro-environmental behavior models and highlights practical implications for sustainable fashion marketing.
