Description:

<jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Purpose</jats:title>
<jats:p>This study aims to investigate specific green-brand affect in terms of commitment and connection through the morality–mortality determinants of consumer social responsibility and the assumptions of terror management theory in the proposed three-layered framework. Religiosity serves as a moderator within the framework.</jats:p>

<jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Findings</jats:title>
<jats:p>With the contingent role of religiosity, consumer social responsibility influences socially conscious consumption, which in turn drives the commitment and connection of green-brand affect. The death anxiety and self-esteem outlined in terror management theory influence materialism, which then drives green-brand commitment; however, contrary to expectations, they do not drive green-brand connection.</jats:p>

<jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Originality/value</jats:title>
<jats:p>By considering green brands beyond their cognitive aspects and into their affective counterparts, morality–mortality drivers of green-brand commitment and green-grand connection are explored to provide unique contributions so as to better understand socially responsible consumption.</jats:p>
