The purpose of this study is to investigate the entrepreneurial insight of purchase intention and co-developing behavior of organic food consumption in Thailand during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study is unique because it considers the management of changing lifestyle and eating habits of people occasioned by the increasing global health awareness brought about by the pandemic. The study has adopted the Stimuli-Organism-Response (SOR) paradigm to provide a conceptual model that incorporates corporate image and consumer engagement literature. The research used primary data collected from consumers in major cities across Thailand. The data was collected using a structured questionnaire. The hypotheses of the study were evaluated using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings of the study indicated that corporate image and corporate social responsibility have a strong influence on consumer trust. Corporate image and corporate social responsibility also have a positive and significant effect on personal values. Consumer trust and personal values were found to influence purchase intention significantly and positively, while purchase intention positively influenced co-developing behavior. Both consumer trust and personal values were found to positively mediate the relationship between corporate image, corporate social responsibility and purchase intention. The study recommended that business management should emphasize and cultivate a strong corporate image and corporate social responsibility image, which would increase customers' trust, their interactions, and interactions with the business, and the resultant purchase intention and co-developing behavior.

Celem tego badania było zbadanie przedsiębiorczego wglądu w intencje zakupowe i współrozwoju zachowań konsumpcji żywności ekologicznej w Tajlandii podczas pandemii COVID-19. Badanie było wyjątkowe, ponieważ uwzględniało zarządzanie zmieniającym się stylem życia i nawykami żywieniowymi ludzi spowodowane rosnącą globalną świadomością zdrowotną wywołaną pandemią. W badaniu przyjęto paradygmat Stimuli-Organism-Response (SOR), aby zapewnić model koncepcyjny, który obejmuje wizerunek firmy i literaturę dotyczącą zaangażowania konsumentów. W badaniu wykorzystano dane pierwotne zebrane od konsumentów w największych miastach Tajlandii. Dane zostały zebrane za pomocą ustrukturyzowanego kwestionariusza. Hipotezy badania zostały ocenione za pomocą modelowania równań strukturalnych (SEM). Wyniki badania wskazują, że wizerunek firmy i społeczna odpowiedzialność biznesu mają silny wpływ na zaufanie konsumentów. Również wizerunek firmy i społeczna odpowiedzialność biznesu mają pozytywny i znaczący wpływ na wartości osobiste. Stwierdzono, że zaufanie konsumentów i wartości osobiste istotnie i pozytywnie wpływają na zamiar zakupu, podczas gdy zamiar zakupu pozytywnie wpływa na zachowania współrozwojowe. Stwierdzono, że zarówno zaufanie konsumentów, jak i wartości osobiste pozytywnie wpływają na związek między wizerunkiem firmy, społeczną odpowiedzialnością biznesu i zamiarem zakupu. W badaniu zalecono, aby kierownictwo biznesowe podkreślało i pielęgnowało silny wizerunek firmy i wizerunek społecznej odpowiedzialności biznesu, co zwiększy zaufanie klientów, ich interakcje i interakcje z firmą, a także wynikający z tego zamiar zakupowy i wspólne zachowanie.
