Abstract

In Malaysia, there is ongoing research investigating the factors influencing investors' intentions to engage in socially responsible investing (SRI), aimed at fostering greater comprehension and support for this concept. Examining investors' intentions to make responsible investments is the aim of this study. Four independent factors are included in this study which are financial literacy, attitude toward socially responsible investing, perceived consumer effectiveness, and environmental concern. Furthermore, 300 questionnaires have been sent to potential investors to collect data. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) is presently being used to analyze the gathered data. In addition, reliability, inferential, and descriptive analysis are being used to examine the data. A multi-regression model, an ANOVA test, a Pearson correlation analysis, and an independent sample t-test are all used in the inferential investigation. The study reveals that environmental concern, perceived consumer effectiveness, and positive attitudes towards SRI significantly influence Malaysian investors' intentions to engage in SRI, whereas financial literacy does not show a significant impact. These findings suggest that enhancing awareness and positive attitudes towards SRI may foster greater participation among Malaysian investors. Financial literacy and investors' intention to make socially responsible investments, however, do not significantly correlate.
